More and more people turning to polyester polo shirts especially for performance wear

When talking about performance clothes cotton has always been the go to material, however polyester has been implemented into the manufacturing process and now several companies desire the use of polyester instead of cotton. 

There are several factors why this is the case. Firstly, polyester is cheaper than cotton. it's thin breathable material is perfect for sports activities and this is also backed up by the quick drying element of the material. With the increase trend where people are joining gyms etc more people are turning towards performance polo shirts made from polyester to give it that added coolness when exercising.

Limitations on the Size of the Embroidery on the Polo Shirt Sleeve

We get get many orders where corporate companies want text or logo on the sleeve so we thought we cover some points in this section to make customers better understand the limitations of embroidery on the sleeve area. 

Many companies in the London area who always want to have some kind of logo on the sleeve. The limitations associated with embroidered designs on the sleeve is that many artworks include text which are too small. These text within the design are often scaled incorrectly and results in ineligible text and artworks since in embroidery we are working with threads which need a certain stitch density to ensure the text is more clear when embroidered. The is largely because the canvas size on the sleeve is not big enough on the sleeves of shirts. This leads to customers making the artwork smaller. However, this doesn't solve the problem because the artwork is not visible from afar. 

To ensure that the text is visible, the height of the text should be at least 0.50 cm tall. It's important for customers to keep that in mind to determine the best results.

Funny Darth Vader Selfie Design on a Black Hooded Sweatshirt

With the release of the new Star Wars film less than two months away, designers are creating clothing for the film as opposed to the film orientated hoodies seen previously. 

The designers have taken a humorous approach to this and have created hoodies with a funny twists. The new designers have implicated popular pop-culture films and genres into the designs. By doing this, fans can have a funny image of Star Wars printed on the hoodie. 

One that we quite liked is the artwork of Darth Vader taking a selfie with a Stormtrooper in front of the Eifel Tower. This is a great example of how artists can alter the approach of designer clothes. 

Darth Vader is the Sith Lord and the Stormtrooper is the soldier of the Galactic Empire, however here they have been portrayed as comical characters having a laugh straying away from the more sinister side the film depicts them to be.


There have been lots of spin-offs where the classic Darth and Trooper are also taking selfies in Egypt near the pyramids or in Hollywood.
