About an hour from Sheffield
Clothing manufacturer for Sheffield brands
The unit is in Bradford, about an hour from Sheffield. Close enough to handle the fabric before you commit to a first drop.
Sheffield founders are close enough that a visit is a morning, not a trip. The M1 and the M62 put the Bradford unit at about an hour, with parking on site.
We buy premium blanks from Stanley/Stella, Native Spirit and AS Colour, decorate them, take the supplier label out and stitch yours in. From 25 garments, mixed styles counted together.
What a visit is for
Garment weight
Feel 180gsm against 240gsm against 280gsm. A spec sheet will not tell you which one your brand should be.
Woven label
See how a woven label sits, which fold type suits the garment, and what the swing ticket and bag look like on a finished piece.
Decoration
The same logo, on the same garment, done both ways. Decoration choice is easier when both are in front of you.
From 25 garments
10 t-shirts, 10 hoodies and 5 sweatshirts is 25 garments. That is enough for your own woven labels and full finishing.

Sheffield founder questions
- BR Apparel Launch Studio is in Bradford, about an hour from Sheffield, at Unit 2 Great Russell Court, Fieldhead Business Centre, BD7 1JZ.
- Yes. Mixed styles count together toward the 25 garment minimum for relabelling and finishing. Woven labels are still 100 per design.
- Four to six weeks from artwork approval. Woven labels take 10 to 14 working days from the label maker, on new and repeat orders alike. They run alongside production rather than adding to it. Orders without labels are quicker. Decoration and finishing only is usually two to three weeks. Reorders on approved artwork take the same time as the first run.
- Vector artwork, EPS or PDF, is what print and embroidery need. A non-vector file is fine to start the conversation. We will tell you whether it will hold at size before anything is made.
