Hi all,
Had a potential customer call me to ask if I can source and print some Base Layers for him, I believe these are the brand name for the Canterbury ones, however I just need something similar, e.g. a tight fitting sports under layer for training in the cold English winter.
Anyone know of any suppliers, none of my usual suppliers stock these.
It would also be a bonus if they sold FOTL tees and hoodys as I need a couple for the same order.
I don't know the brand you refer to, so not sure if you're looking for cotton or micro fleece?
I would think you might be better asking on a forum for outdoor persuits?
Or ask someone like Points North or Penine Outdoor (both fabric suppliers) if they can put you in touch with a garment supplier.
Base Layers are a brand made by Canterbury, they are very good however they are just a bit too expensive.
the garments im looking for are not really cotton, they are simalar to a surfing rashvest, simalar to lycra.
I will give the companies you mentioned a call and see if they can help further
Pencarrie do a base layer line similar to underarmour, they have a 'keep cool' layer one and a 'keep warm' long sleeved one. I've used them both for work I've done for local martial arts clubs. They seem good quality, just dont carry the underarmour brand name (that adds on a huge percentage to the price). Plus pencarrie do al the usual stock too - FOTL etc.
Thanks for the Heads up, I checked out pencarrie and opened an account, the baselayers they have look quite good, a bit expensive but they look good.
If anyone else is interested or may ever need these I have also found some stocked by a company called 'United brands of Scandinavia' at a reasonable price
Yes they seam to be a higher quality (if you believe all the sales speels etc) They are used by the swiss ski team and things like that and I think they came in at a pound or two cheaper.
