Hey guys!
As some of you may or may not know, my family and I owned a retail shop called Kidsport in Vacaville, CA that offered custom team uniforms, screenprinting and embroidery services for over 6 years. We started doing custom letterman jackets with Full back designs (thanks to our Amayas and Design Shop!)and quickly became the "place to go" for high school kids in our area to get letterman jackets with amazing custom embroidery. We soon realized that THIS was our niche! We decided to stop selling $10 tshirts and focus exclusively on Letterman jackets and custom designs.
Fast forward to today...
We sold Kidsport and teamed up with jacket and apparel manufacturer, Purcells Activewear in Oakland, CA. Our merger made us the only letterman jacket manufacturer in the country to offer full back truly custom embroidery. Other companies claim to offer this service, but scare off their customers with crazy design set ups and digitizing fees. Try calling your current letterman jacket supplier and ask them if they can digitize and embroider a picture of your son pitching in his high school uniform on the back before they ship you the jacket. They will probably laugh at you. Not us! We do that kind of thing every day. In the time it takes to receive your order of a blank custom jacket, you can have yours delivered with the custom back embroidery already applied!
We are able to stitch on the back panel of the jacket before it is ever assembled. As you know, mistakes happen in embroidery. It's just the nature of the beast. If you are stitching on a student's prized letterman jacket and it pops off the hoop, or sews the wrong color, or tears a hole in the wool, you have possibly destroyed the jacket and perhaps lost a customer forever. If something like that happens in our shop, we simply start again with a fresh panel. No muss no fuss.
We have developed an "Affiliate Program" that allows retail embroidery, sporting goods, and award shops to offer our brand of jackets and embroidery designs to their customers. Using our website, http://www.JacketBack.com, and Melco's LiveDesigner Suite, their customers can design their jackets online and email them the proof which they forward directly to us for production.
Photo's or drawings can be accomodated through email. We currently have 13 affiliate stores and are seeking more. If you are interested, give us a call at 888-554-8326 or email [email protected]
We recently met with Melco at their Denver headquarters to share what we are doing and our vision of the future. They were very impressed at our game plan and shot this video of my brother Matt singing the praises of the machines and software that they manufacture.
Thanks for the read!
