Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Oxford Cloth with Overlocked Edge
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Oxford Cloth with overlocked edge for denim and workwear programmes. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is recovery after repeated stretching, because a bagged sleeve is dead — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered after the shipment lands. Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them. Test reports for azo dye-free declaration are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same recovery after repeated stretching.
