Why Bradford founders come to us
The unit is here
You are not travelling to a supplier. You are coming to the place the order is finished. Handle the garments, look at the label folds and the swing tickets, and decide with everything in front of you. Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00.
We work at the quantity you are actually at
Overseas cut and sew starts at 100 per style per colour. We start at 25. That is the difference between finding out what sells and betting your savings on a guess.
Up to four weeks, not three months
From artwork approval to delivery. Woven labels take 7 to 10 working days and run alongside production, and reorders run on the same lead time. Everything is held in stock, so there is no fabric minimum and no wait on a production run.
Your name goes in the neck
Not the supplier’s. That is the whole point, and it is the thing most new brands skip.
What we do
- Garment sourcing
- Premium blanks from Stanley/Stella, Native Spirit and AS Colour, plus caps from Beechfield, Yupoong and Flexfit. Organic and recycled cotton, weights from 155gsm to 500gsm.
- Decoration
- Screen print, DTF and embroidery. Spot colour with a base white included as standard, every job specified and checked to our standard.
- Your own label
- Supplier label removed, your woven label stitched in. Printed care labels and swing tickets.
- Finishing
- Bagged, tagged and packed, ready to go straight to your customers or your stockists.
One supplier, one invoice, one point of contact.
The ranges, with every style code and weight, are on the garments page. The finishing is on the own label page. Founders coming from Leeds or Manchester have their own pages.

Bradford founder questions
- BR Apparel Launch Studio is in Bradford, at Unit 2 Great Russell Court, Fieldhead Business Centre, BD7 1JZ. We take founders from first sample to first sale: premium garments, your own woven neck labels, decoration, relabelling and finishing, bagged ready to sell. From 25 garments, in up to four weeks from artwork approval. You can visit the unit and handle the garments before you order.
- From 25 garments, with mixed styles counted together. Woven labels and swing tickets run at 100 per design, which is the label maker minimum. Below 25 we can still print and embroider. You just cannot have your own label on that quantity.
- Yes, and it is the point of being local. The unit is at Unit 2 Great Russell Court, Fieldhead Business Centre, Bradford BD7 1JZ, Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:00, with parking on site. We will have the ranges out and the label and swing ticket options on the table.
- Yes. Brand launch and workwear are two different jobs. If you are kitting out a team, the workwear and uniform pages are the right door: embroidered polos, hi-vis, jackets, 4 to 5 working day turnaround on workwear and uniform orders.
We also do workwear
Alongside the brand launch side we supply branded workwear and uniforms across Bradford: hospitality, trades, logistics, corporate. Embroidered polos, hi-vis, jackets, hats. That is a different page, because it is a different job.
Start your brand
