Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ordering custom ties, workwear, and beanies
How long does the entire process take?▼
From design submission to delivery typically takes 2-3 weeks. This includes consultation, approval, manufacturing, and shipping. Urgent orders can be completed in 7-10 days for an additional fee.
What materials are available?▼
We offer premium silk (luxurious and traditional), polyester (durable and affordable), and silk-blend fabrics. Your design consultant will help you choose the best material for your needs, budget, and use case.
Can I see a sample before ordering?▼
Yes! We provide detailed pre-production proofs and mockups for your approval. For large orders, physical samples can be arranged. We also send high-resolution photos of your finished products before final dispatch.
What if I'm not happy with the design?▼
We never begin production until you've approved every detail. During the consultation phase, you can make unlimited revisions to colours, patterns, logos, and text. Your satisfaction is guaranteed before we start manufacturing.
Do you ship internationally?▼
Yes, we ship worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by location. All shipments include full tracking. Contact us for international shipping quotes.
Can I reorder the exact same design later?▼
Absolutely! We keep all approved designs on file. Reordering is quick and easy - just reference your original order number, and we can produce additional quantities with the exact same specifications.
What is the minimum order quantity?▼
Our minimum order is 25 units for custom products. This ensures we can offer you the best pricing while maintaining premium quality. We specialise in bulk orders for schools, teams, clubs, and businesses.
How does bulk pricing work?▼
We offer tiered volume discounts - the more you order, the lower the unit price. Our pricing structure is designed to reward larger orders while remaining accessible for smaller teams and organisations.
Final pricing depends on material choice (polyester, silk-blend, or silk), design complexity, logo embroidery requirements, and total quantity. Use our free online design tool for an instant, accurate quote based on your specific requirements.
Can I add logos to my custom products?▼
Yes! You can upload your school crest, team badge, company logo, or any custom graphic. Our design tools let you position, resize, and rotate logos with precision. We'll work with you during the approval process to ensure perfect placement and clarity.
What file formats do you accept for logos?▼
We accept PNG, JPG, and SVG files. For best results, provide high-resolution images (at least 300 DPI) or vector files (SVG, AI, EPS). Our team will review your logo during consultation and may request higher quality versions if needed.
Do you offer different tie widths or styles?▼
Yes, we offer various tie widths (slim, regular, wide) and styles (standard, skinny, bow ties). During the design consultation, our team will discuss all available options and help you choose the perfect style for your needs.
How accurate is the online design preview?▼
The online design tool provides an illustrative preview to help you visualize your concept. However, colours may vary slightly due to screen settings and fabric differences. During the approval process, we'll provide detailed mockups and can send physical samples to ensure you're completely satisfied before production begins.
