    Hi

    I have been given the job of sourcing new club gear (hoodies/jackets/t-shirts) for our club, and also to source 250 training bibs (printed with our logo) in six different colours.
    We have been using a company to date, but they are quite slow and unreliable, so I'm looking to get alternative quotes.
    Googling has mostly given me UK websites so what I'm wondering is can anyone give a recommendation for an Irish company, maybe one they have used before or know of personally, as opposed to a google search. We are based in the North East but anywhere in Ireland could work.

    Thank you in advance :D

    Sorry, in case it wasn't obvious above, it's an athletics club, and the bibs we want are those really really lightweight ones that GAA clubs etc use for separation of teams etc.

    We've moved to this crowd for the 2012 season. We're a tri club, but they seem to do athletics stuff too.

    Seem to be more generous when it comes to smaller order quantities too. Don't deal with them directly myself though.

    Thanks for that. I had a quick look at the website, and will contact them myself. Cheers :)

    Velotec did our club cycling gear, it's great. They seem to have some running singlets also.

    Velotec have done our own Amphibian King tri-suits and running singlets and I have to say they are good. Feedback from the athletes has been positive too.

    They also do the triathlon club gear and cycling club gear that I use. No problems and a decent bunch of lads to deal with.

    Thanks so much for all the replies, so far haven't had any luck with these ones, we aren't actually looking for singlets (have loads of those already), we are looking for coloured bibs to divide the various training groups, and then hoodies and rain jackets, but I'm waiting on a quote from a company in Cork who seem to be the biz so far.
    But thanks again to all who replied, I appreciate it.

    Velotec do the rain jackets for the Ras Na Conemara bike event. They also do hoodies.

    An option on hoodies would also be Advertees in Galway and any embroidery company shoudl be able to quote you for supply & stitching. I used We Print in Bray for this previously.

    If you want coordination between club items asking a design company to proof designs will make it easier for you to get quotes too.

    This could be what you're looking for...

    I just plucked Umbro from the air, but any football kit supplier would do training bibs - not sure if you'll get reflective strips on them if you need them.

    Thanks spurscormac, they are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I have sourced them in Cork, if they were to be available in six different colours, with reflective strip and be printed with our logo on the back, life would be sweet, but I'm getting there!

    Try http://www.legendsteamwear.com/ Based in Castleblayney in North East, so may suit you. He can source all sorts of gear and has his own range. The website wouldn't have all the gear he has available and would be able to sort out the bibs as well.

    Worth a call at least. Used him before, say Diggy referred you and he should look after you.

    Hi
    I seen your post then I seen these http://www.promotional-store.com/(S(ovvcnk3deaapxk231zvhs145))/list.aspx?sqs=tQ27z0XYbppzWBfGkUzZShF2cEiIHcXegC5mcQ6xiHM%3d look through the stuff there are bibs somewhere down there and the company is based in Ireland. They can customise all the stuff, but haven't actually dealt with the company but planning to in the near future, price is so far so good :D

    Edit: forgot to say the companies name is T-Shirt King Ireland google it and you will get the company :D
