Finished in Bradford, sent to Glasgow
Clothing manufacturer for Glasgow brands
Settle the weight with a sample, approve the artwork on a proof, and the finished order comes to you ready to sell. From 25 garments.
From Glasgow, most founders settle the weight with a sample rather than the four hour drive to Bradford. We sample from a single garment, so you can hold the real blank before you commit. Samples are chargeable and are not credited against a later order.
Everything after that works at a distance: garments chosen by style code, artwork approved on a proof, and the finished order sent to you bagged and tagged. There is no BR Apparel workshop in Scotland.
Ordering from Glasgow
Sample the open question
We sample from a single garment. If weight is the decision, order two to compare, such as the 180gsm Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 (STTU169) and the 240gsm Freestyler (STTU788).
Chosen by code, approved by proof
Garments are picked by style code, and artwork is approved on a proof before anything is made. Nothing in the order needs you in the room.
Delivery built into the date
Lead time runs from artwork approval, and delivery to Scotland comes after it, so count both into your launch date.
Visit if you want to
Founders who want to handle every weight are welcome at Unit 2 Great Russell Court, Fieldhead Business Centre, Bradford BD7 1JZ. Mornings are quietest, and parking is on site.
