A custom jacket is a rare type of garment that is refined. Brands or companies making a custom jacket are trying to make a product that is exclusive, super-quality. This implies that it's best to get it right.

A jacket is an item that can find its way into being a daily mainstay, similar to hoodies. Usually, they're one of the most expensive clothing lines. By the same token, this means that they can be accepted in someone's wardrobe as one of the most highly cherished pieces.

What's more because of the multiple kinds, shapes and designs they come in, there are more likely to be problems with printing on jackets. So to make sure the product you produce is up to scratch, it requires careful thought. With this in mind when designing a custom jacket, we've put together our top tips on the pitfalls to avoid and the things to bear in mind.


Tips for design a killer custom jacket
Using a simple layout
One thing to remember about custom jackets is that direct-to-garment printing (DTG) can not be achieved. This means that transfer printing, screen printing or embroidery (or a combination, of course) are your key choices. While it is possible to print images and super-detailed designs with DTG, with basic designs, these other methods provide better results. So when scheduling your design, this is something to bear in mind.

Carefully select your jacket
In certain ways customers for whom we work will have their own jackets. This of course, gives you more flexibility to customise the garments you prefer, but it is worth noting how appropriate the jacket would be for customization. For instance, certain information, such as the lining or the pockets, can mean that screen printing can not be done. In addition, we offer a large range of jackets ourselves, all of which are created to be used for customization, which means that you are much less likely to have problems with the finished product.

Use the file of the right kind
To note one small but significant detail: the type of file you use when sending over your designs. We ask for vector files rather than raster files for all the techniques we use for jackets, i.e., transfer printing, screen printing, DTG and embroidery. We can typically provide a service for vectorizing your template if you need help with this so just get in touch to discuss it.

Discuss with us various choices
As has hopefully been made clear, when it comes to custom jackets, there's a lot to consider. Perhaps more than any other merchandise item, there are several factors that can influence what is possible and most notably, what kind of final outcome you will receive. So, as we are always open to reviewing orders and giving our feedback on what will fit, we suggest getting in contact to discuss what you've planned.
