Custom embroidery?

[Britannia]

I'm considering making some custom boat clothing for me and my "crew". Does anyone have recommendations of good places to get custom embroidered clothing? As well as doing a good job of the embroidery, I am also hoping to find somewhere that the clothing itself is decent. If I'm going to pay the extra for a custom logo I'd like it to go onto good clothing that will last.

In particular I'm looking at polo shirts and lightweight jackets.

Thanks in advance for any experience/suggestions.

You should have an embroidery shop in your town. Go to them to create and do the embroidery. Buy what you like where you like and then have them "sew" it.
They usually charge in the $15-20 range per item this way. Remember the more they do the cheaper the price per piece.

Interesting idea - I haven't looked locally. I like the idea of providing my own clothing.

I have used Lands' End for business items for the staff and myself. I have done jackets, sweatshirts, polos, and dress shirts. There is a setup charge for the logo but they have deals at times which are really good. High quality clothing, easy to deal with, easy returns, reasonable prices.

Personally, I try to go local and do business with 'mom & Pop' businesses over large corporations whenever possible.

Our yacht club uses Lands End. Very satisfied.

Our owners club uses Jester Promotions in Indianapolis.

:: Jester Promotions ::

Rick Atkins is the owner. Decent prices, very decent clothing, and then their stock or our custom embroidery works well too.

If you check it out and decide to order from them... please let me know.... so I can score some brownie points with Rick afterwards.
