Helping the environment with our GOTS accreditation

by Leave a comment

Exciting news! GoCustom Clothing has made a significant leap forward in sustainable practices as we proudly announce our successful achievement of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) accreditation. This prestigious certification highlights the unwavering dedication to environmental and social responsibility in the textile and garment decoration industry.

When you come across textiles certified to GOTS, rest assured of its organic integrity and top-notch quality. This credibility is our promise to you, the consumer, showcasing our dedication to environmental responsibility, social ethics, and customer satisfaction. In a world where every little detail counts, GOTS serves as an invaluable guide for navigating the organic textile market.

What is GOTS?

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was created by influential standard setters to establish globally recognised criteria for organic textiles. From the raw material harvesting to eco-conscious and socially responsible manufacturing to labelling, GOTS-certified textiles offer a trusted guarantee to consumers, ensuring their integrity and sustainability.

GOTS was brought into existence through the joint efforts of four prestigious organisations: the Organic Trade Association (OTA) from the USA, the Internationaler Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft (IVN) from Germany, the Soil Association from the UK, and the Japan Organic Cotton Association (JOCA). Amongst these, IVN and JOCA represent the textile industry, while OTA and Soil Association have their roots in organic agriculture and food. Coming together, they bring a wealth of experience in advocating for ‘organic’, each having established their own processing standards for organic textiles. GOTS was born out of the need to harmonise these standards on an international scale. Collaborating with other relevant international stakeholders and experts, the GOTS organisation seeks feedback and input to ensure regular updates to its standards.

What processes are GOTS accredited at GoCustom?

Unite Your Uni: How Custom T-Shirts Enhance Freshers Week at University 

by Leave a comment

As the excitement of a new academic year approaches, universities across the country are gearing up for freshers week – a time-honoured tradition that welcomes new students to university life. One way to make this event even more memorable and foster a sense of community is by creating custom t-shirts for clubs, societies, and student unions.  

In this blog post, we’ll discuss the advantages of customised apparel during freshers week and how they can positively impact recruitment efforts and branding for various organisations. 

Why Custom T-Shirts & Hoodies Are Essential for Freshers Week 

Custom t-shirts and hoodies have become synonymous with freshers week at universities, and for good reason. They offer numerous benefits for both incoming students and the organisations they represent: 

  • Branding and Identity: Custom t-shirts help establish a strong visual identity for clubs, societies, and student unions. By wearing these shirts, members can easily identify themselves and promote their organisation to potential new recruits. 
  • Building Community: Custom garments create a sense of unity among students, fostering a welcoming atmosphere during freshers week. They encourage camaraderie and help forge lasting friendships among fellow club members. 
  • Recruitment Efforts: Eye-catching and well-designed t-shirts can generate interest in specific clubs or societies, making it easier for them to attract new members during freshers week. 
  • Memorabilia: Custom apparel serve as a tangible reminder of the fun and excitement of freshers week, providing students with a keepsake they can cherish for years to come.

Designing the Perfect Custom T-Shirt 

When it comes to designing custom t-shirts for freshers week, there are several factors to consider: 

  • Choose a theme: Select a theme that represents your club, society, or student union and resonates with your target audience. This could be anything from your organisation’s logo to a catchy slogan or unique graphic. 
  • Select the right colours: Choose colours that align with your organisation’s branding and stand out in a crowd. Consider using contrasting colours for the text and background to ensure maximum visibility. 
  • Prioritise quality: Opt for high-quality materials and printing techniques to ensure your custom t-shirts are comfortable, durable, and look professional. 

When it comes to printing your custom apparel, there are several techniques to choose from: 

When students wear sustainable clothing, they are sending a message to their peers and the community that they care about the environment. This can help to raise awareness of sustainability issues and encourage others to make more sustainable choices. 

There are many reasons why students should choose sustainable t-shirts and hoodies for their freshers event.  

  • Sustainable materials are better for the environment. Organic cotton, for example, is grown without pesticides or fertilizers, which reduces pollution and water use.  
  • Supporting products that use eco-friendly materials, ethical production practices, and fair labour standards. 
  • Selecting sustainable materials for students not only helps to reduce environmental impact but also saves money in the long term due to their long-lasting quality. 

While students are wearing comfortable, sustainable clothing, they are more likely to feel relaxed and happy in the knowledge they are playing their part.

When it comes to printing your custom apparel, there are several techniques to choose from: 

  • Screen Printing: This popular method involves applying ink directly onto the fabric through a stencil, resulting in crisp and vibrant designs.  
  • Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing: Using specialised inkjet technology, DTG printing allows for highly detailed and full-colour designs to be printed directly onto the fabric. 
  • Heat Transfer: This technique involves printing the design onto a heat transfer paper, which is then applied to the fabric using heat and pressure.

The best clothes to keep you cool this summer!

by Leave a comment

The summer months can be a challenge for professionals who want to look stylish and presentable at work but are struggling to find appropriate clothing to wear in the heat. Here are some practical tips for how to stay cool and comfortable in workwear during the summer.

Choose the right fabrics and materials

The most important thing you can do to stay cool in the summer is to choose the right fabrics and materials. Look for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton. This fabric will allow your skin to breathe and help to wick away sweat. Avoid heavy, synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon, as these fabrics can trap heat and make you feel even hotter.

Opt for lighter colours 

If you’re looking for the right colour to help you stay comfortable and fashionable, why not choose wisely and opt for lighter options? Whites are always a great choice; they have an airy feel that keep things cool during long days. If whites aren’t your preferred palette, consider something lighter like pastels! They provide a calming sense of comfort and remain stylish enough to look good at any occasion. If it’s blues that grab your heart and your attention, go for the pleasantly light hues instead of the dark shades – because dark shades can often retain more warmth than wanted! There’s so much versatility with lighter colour choices that you’re sure to find exactly what you need in order to stay cool and secure in whatever style or situation you desire.

Stay hydrated 

It’s important to stay hydrated in the summer, even if you’re not sweating a lot. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body stay cool. Avoid sugary drinks like soda and juice, as these can actually make you feel hotter.

Wear layers

Unique chilly temperatures don’t have to keep you from enjoying your day. Step out of the house prepared and fight off nature’s temperature with smart layering strategies– starting by covering up with a comfortable base layer, like a dependable vest. Finish off with an additional shirt or fleece on top for more substantial protection from raging winds and temperatures that plunge low. All is not lost when the sun warms up either-when you’re ready and the sun is shining, peel off those extra layers and you’ll be cool again.

Avoid tight clothing 

If you go too far with fitting clothing, you can inhibit your mobility. Wearing tight garments in the summer may only make you feel even warmer and uncomfortable. On the other hand, loose clothes offer freedom of movement and can help keep away unwanted heat!

You could try getting a size up of your normal sizing for garments, this will allow the extra space you need to be able to feel cool this summer. Also, if you’re wearing long sleeves for work, why not opt for short sleeved garments? This too will contribute to you feeling a lot cooler.

Take breaks 

If you’re working in a hot environment, it’s important to take breaks throughout the day to cool down. Get up and move around, or step outside for some fresh air.

Protecting yourself with headwear 

Typically hats are made from breathable materials like cotton, and this can help keep your head cool by allowing air to circulate, which aids in dissipating heat. This can make outdoor activities more comfortable and enjoyable on hot summer days.

Many hats are designed with moisture-wicking properties that draw sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable in the heat. This feature also prevents sweat from dripping into your eyes, which can be both irritating and distracting.

Hats can also be a very useful marketing tool, having your employees wearing them when working outside in the public eye can help with brand recognition. You can read more about the positives of branding your business in our previous blog post.

Don’t let the warm weather bring your mood down, and instead stay cool whilst on the job! Whether you wear shirts or polos for work, following these few tips can help you be as comfortable as possible during the summer months.

Firstly, look for breathable fabrics such as mesh, cotton, and linen to maximise internal air flow. Secondly, it’ll not only protect you from UV rays but opt for brighter colours which reflect sunlight and maintains a lower temperature within the fabric. Lastly, layer up from indoor to outdoors for extra comfort and protection against humidity.

How to claim uniform tax relief! 

by Leave a comment

Are you required to wear a uniform as part of your job? If so, then you could be in for some extra money! You may be eligible for expenses up to £100s over the last five years, even if it was just one day that year, you can claim relief for the whole tax period!

But am I eligible for this?

Do you have a job that requires wearing a recognisable uniform, like branded polo shirts, workwear or hospitality attire? Well, the HMRC says if your employer makes it mandatory to wear the specific work clothes while on the clock, they can be claimed as expenses – even when worn once during tax year.

For those who are self-employed, seeking financial aid for uniforms and laundry no longer requires claiming via a rebate—you’ll just need it filled out on your respective self-assessment tax return instead! 

For a more in depth look into this tax relief please go to the below link. This will have a lot more information of this and help you find even more savings!  

A great guide from Money Saving Experts

And to claim your uniform expenses see the Gov.uk site below.

Claiming a uniform tax refund can be an easy way to save money and time. With the standard flat-rate expense allowance of £60, basic-rate taxpayers are entitled to receive up to 20% back – that’s £12! For higher-rate taxpayers, it could potentially double this figure at an impressive £24. In total, with all years dating back five years taken into consideration you’ll get your entire allocated amount returned in full; yet keep in mind there is only until 5th April 2023 available for claiming expenses from 2018/19 – hurry before you miss out on gaining significant savings! 

Ready to get started?

All in all, the value of uniform allowances offered by the HMRC may be financially beneficial to individuals who have worn a mandatory uniform for their job during the past 5 years. It is definitely worth doing further research and finding out if you are eligible for relief on uniform expenses. Due to these tax break policies, you’ve only got to 5th April to claim your 2018/19 refund. For more advice and information regarding uniform tax relief, please find more here.

Looking for Sustainable Clothing in 2023: A Guide to Ethical Fashion 

by 1 Comment

As we become more aware of the impact of fast fashion on the environment and human rights, many of us are making a conscious effort to support sustainable clothing brands. But with so many options out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. In this post, we’ll explore some tips for finding sustainable clothing in 2023. 

Why Choose Sustainable Clothing? 

Firstly, it’s worth considering why sustainable clothing is important. The fashion industry handles a significant amount of pollution and waste, from water usage and chemical runoff to textile waste and carbon emissions. By choosing sustainable clothing brands, we can reduce our own impact on the environment and support companies that prioritise ethical practices. We know our customers are looking for environmentally mindful clothing, and we are pleased to have many options available to meet this expectation.

How to Find Sustainable Clothing

Research Brands: One of the best ways to find sustainable clothing brands is through research. Look for companies that prioritise eco-friendly materials, fair labour practices, and transparent supply chains. Check out their websites and read reviews from other customers. 

Look for Certifications: Some sustainable clothing brands have certifications that guarantee their ethical practices, such as Fair Trade Certified or GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). Below we have a cheat sheet for looking out for these certifications and what the logos look like. 

Certifications To Look Out For

PETA – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, companies listed either signed PETA’s statement of assurance or supplied a statement verifying that they do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and that they pledge not to do so in the future. 

SEDEX – Supplier Ethical Data Exchange, which is an online system that allows suppliers to maintain data on ethical & responsible practices and allows them to share this information with their customers. 

Oeko-Tex – Certified products have been tested for harmful substances to protect your health. 

Sustainable Brands We Offer 

Anthem – Their cotton is naturally absorbent and breathable without harsh chemicals. It is kind to the planet and is biodegradable. They recycle bottles that would otherwise would have gone to waste. Closing the loop with big tech performance and a tiny eco footprint.

Optimising Your Workwear: How to Layer This Spring

by 1 Comment

As the days grow longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s time to start thinking about transitioning our wardrobes into spring. Layering is key for getting the most out of your workwear during this time of year. With the right combination of clothing, you can create a stylish yet functional look that will keep you comfortable and looking professional in any weather. Let’s look at some products that will be great for layering. 

When it comes to layering clothing for work, it’s important to choose fabrics that are versatile and breathable. Lightweight cotton is a great choice, as it is both comfortable and easy to layer without looking too bulky or feeling too heavy. A great example of this are Long Sleeve T-Shirts and Polos. 

Long Sleeve T-Shirts and Polos

Long sleeve t-shirts and polo shirts can be worn solo in milder weather and look smart when layered up under sweatshirts or hoodies when temperatures start to dip again. To ensure maximum comfort during warmer months, go for a breathable fabric such as cotton jersey instead of thicker materials like wool which might make you feel overheated. For even more sophistication, try choosing pastel shades like baby blue or soft pink instead of traditional darker shades like black or navy blue – this way you can show off your lighter side despite the chillier weather!

Fleece Jackets

Fleece jackets are lightweight and warm – perfect for layering and keeping you cosy on chilly days. Wear them with a sweatshirt or long sleeve t-shirt when temperatures drop further. Not only will they keep you warm, but the combination of different layers can elevate your look too. Choose from various styles such as full zip or quarter zip to find the one that fits your style best. 

See our range of fleeces

Gilets & Body Warmers

Gilets are versatile pieces that will keep you warm without looking bulky. They’re great on their own in milder weather but also look smart when layered up underneath a coat or over a long sleeve t-shirt. Depending on the occasion, choose between quilted gilets which are ideal for outdoor activities like walking and cycling; tailored body warmers with pockets that can be dressed up; bomber-style gilets offering an urban touch; and sleeveless puffer vests that supply extra insulation while still allowing free movement of arms and shoulders.

Hoodies & Sweatshirts

Hoodies are classic staples of any season’s wardrobe, adding comfort and warmth while still looking stylish. Layer them over t-shirts to stay comfortable all day long while incorporating some colour into your look with your company logos!  

Sweatshirts are a terrific way to keep warm during the spring months and still look stylish. They provide an extra layer of insulation when temperatures start to dip again but can be easily removed when things heat up. Layer long sleeve t-shirts and polo shirts underneath for light insulation or add colour to your outfit with bright stripes or bold logos on the hoodie. For even more warmth, try teaming these up with quilted gilets or waterproof jackets – it’ll give you an extra layer of comfort without compromising on style.

Waterproof Jackets

When the weather takes a turn for the worse, throw on a waterproof jacket over your outfit to keep you dry yet still looking good! They come in various styles such as parkas which have drawstrings at the waist creating an adjustable fit; macs which combine style with practicality due to their detachable hoods; showerproof shell jackets which have sealed seams blocking out moisture; and raincoats designed specifically for those rainy days ahead.

Your staff can proudly wear their workwear as a sign of unity and team spirit, which in turn boosts morale and productivity.

Choosing the best fabric for you

The fabric of your outfit is one of the most essential elements in customizing your workwear. Depending on what industry you work in, whether it’s construction, office or hospitality you may want to consider materials such as cotton, wool, polyester, reflective and water/windproof. When you’re working for long hours, comfort is a significant factor for workwear as some of the products we offer not only offer comfort but durability.

Colours, colours, colours

Don’t forget about colours either! Neutral colours like khaki, navy blue and grey tend to be more professional, while bright colours can bring a pop of personality without being too loud. When customising your workwear, it’s important to understand that the logo we are embroidering onto the garment will need to contrast to make it visible. Here is some great information to help you with your artwork.

Design Details

Once you have selected the fabric for your outfit, it’s time to pick out design details that will make it truly unique. With brands such as Gildan, you are able to pick from a huge selection of colours. This will help you match your company’s branding.

Sizing & fit of your workwear

When shopping for ready-made garments, take note of sizing charts available online so you do not end up feeling uncomfortable during the day due to incorrect fit. Additionally, if you have a large workforce, we can offer a sizing service where we can come out to your business and size up your staff. This will ensure the finished product fits perfectly and looks sharp from day one! 

Clean & Care Instructions

When deciding what method of branding you are interested in, consider that embroidery is a lot more durable than print. If your industry requires a lot of hard work and movement this may be the best choice.
