Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Split Leather with Rib Knit
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Split Leather with rib knit for childrenswear and schoolwear. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is compression profile, which has to be even along the limb — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered after the shipment lands. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, or packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare REACH and GPSR 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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Rotterdam or 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 compression profile.
FAQ
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
