Dezigned4U embroidery and printing Services

Phone 01291 423724, e-mail info@dezigned4u.com

We get polo shirts looking like this for 7.50 and the same design on a quality fleece for 17 quid each:

They post and I believe sell on e-bay. Great service and nice bloke too. They don't have a minimum order either, and seem quite happy to do small orders.

The owner's ethos is to look after the smaller customers, so they'll keep on returning; as we do.

I'm looking to get one wear and one wash out of a top per week, so five per person. How long do they last before starting to show their age - say fifty washes = one year. Does the rubbery print stuff start to peel, or just fade?

Are you sure that's the right address? They don't seem to do polo tops.

Post by: windows_chepstow on October 21, 2006, 06:55:49 pm: Wavie,

Wor Lass washes my kit every day and the lettering looks just as good as it did when we ordered it.

However, my polo shirts have faded a bit over the past year, but the lettering is top notch, which is why I ordered some fleeces from them.

I reckon I'll get another Summer out of the polo shirts.

They sell good kit.

Tosh - thanks too. Probably get in touch with them next week.
