Look no further than Stanley Stella for the ultimate cool and comfortable custom clothing for your team. Be it a tshirt, hoodie or sweat, this brand has an array of garments to choose from. Eco credentials are top notch too ! Let's delve into why Stanley Stella comes up trumps. First up, Stanley garments feel good to wear. The cotton is ring-spun and combed. In other words, they've brushed out the impurities and short fibres, leaving a smooth, flat surface. Whether you opt for your personalised garments to be printed or embroidered, the ink sits better, and the stitches stay tighter. Aside from a smooth surface there's the fit. They've moved away from a 'one size fits all' approach. Their hoodies and tees have a contemporary European cut, slightly more tailored, better draping and significantly more comfortable. A shirt you'd be proud to wear for your company and to the pub - so multi use wear. Regarding the sustainability side, the cotton is organic and Stanley Stella have built a supply chain that actually stands up to scrutiny. The journey from farm to factory adheres to GOTS, in other words, the Global Organic Textile Standard. They stand by the Fair Wear Foundation, which means the people sewing the hoodies are treated like people, not machines. The garments are also PETA - Approved vegan, which is important for the growing UK market which wants to know no animal products, or testing touched their wardrobe. So choosing these garments isn't just an ethical choice, it's a risk management choice. It protects your brand from the reputational nightmare of being linked to modern slavery or environmental disasters. So what sort of business does Stanley Stella design your own garments appeal to ? The answer is any. Whether you have a small coffee shop in Margate, or a tech start-up in the City of London, the "throwaway" culture is dead. Better to pay more for decorated hoodies that last 5 years than half the price for one which turns to rags in 6 months. Besides, if you select a premium brand, your customers will subconsciously assume your service or product is too. The reality is that even Stanley Stella can't claim to produce their garments entirely without a footprint. While they are Fair Wear Foundation leaders, and pay significantly above the minimum in places like Bangladesh, a true 'living wage' across the entire supply chain remains a complex industry wide challenge. Similarly organic cotton still requires significant water. It's not chemically based which is a big plus factor, but its durability is a key component as to where the true environmental saving happens. If customers wear Stanley Stella garments for a significant time, that's where the true savings happen. Stanley Stella offers a way to hit those ethical targets without sacrificing the aesthetic or durability. The colour range is fantastic and so the design-your-own garments offer a smart way of workers representing their company or club. How to choose which garments work best for your needs ? Both the Cruiser 2.0 hoodie and the Changer 2.0 sweat have recently been upgraded to a 100% organic cotton face which allows easier ink absorption. They are heavyweight at 350 GSM, which is a weight associated with high end retail, and have a soft and cosy brushed fleece inside. The hood is double layered with metal tipping and the sweat has herringbone neck tape. Which industries suit these garments ? The hoodies are ideal for outdoor staff and streetwear brands whereas the sweats are great for premium corporates and loungewear. It sits perfectly over a collared shirt for a "smart-casual" office look. There's a fabulous array of tshirts to choose from depending on the fit and fabric weight you're looking for. The Creator 2.0 (180 GSM) is the brand's best selling iconic tee, the Rocker's ideal if you want a slightly lighter weight (150 GSM) with a more casual, breathable feel. The Super Premium (215 GSM) & Freestyler (249 GSM) styles have a thicker relaxed fit with a slightly dropped shoulder. All are Unisex.Added to which there's also a great polo Coaster polo (180 GSM). So whatever your business, club or team, Stanley Stella is a go to brand built to last for custom clothing. Based in Belgium, the firm's founder Jean Chabert, had a bold ambition for the brand to stand for something deeper for our planet and people, and to never compromise on quality.
