Have Jancraft (previous supplier of Morgan regalia) gone out of business?

No idea FolkMog uses Logo that Polo

Jancraft is still trading - I recently got a batch of excellent fleeces from Julian for DonMog.

You need to email Julian rather than rely on their web site.

I'm not sure Jancrat ever supplied Morgan regalia as it's only available from the factory (AFAIK). Logo That Polo now supply MSCC along with a number of other centres.

I might not kmow how to repair my V8 or other car related issues these days but I do know a good hoody when I see one…!! We started another company supplying & decorating corporate and promotion garments in the late 80s and this continued until selling in 2016/17.
The trouble with doing Leavers hoodies & club garments - we did most of the Moto Guzzi GB Club gear between 2001-2006 ( because ‘the chair’ a friend asked us ) - the quantities are so small and hence profit.
This pushes up unit costs .You view it as CBA . It is far easier to do 500 or even 5000 of a garment than the handful clubs need.

Looking back now I wish I had asked to quote Morgan just for the interest but we were so busy and they did not seem to offer much those days ?
The last 10 years has seen such amazing changes in garment decorating. Adopt one new technology and it’s superseded in a year or two. Early adoption can cost.
Embroidery is still a wonderful choice but each garment takes time, thousands of stitches, many minutes each garment. China is so cheap for all aspects in this field.
Screenprint is still popular for quantity, Direct to garment print slowish but can have big savings, vinyl application, then a wonderful innovation printed vinyl, superseded by Direct to Film - then sportswear using sublimation print - all amazing options and it’s horses for courses……. . If I was a young man I would be back in garments as now there is so much money to be made, a £1 beanie hat , a £1.75 baseball hat , a £1.90 tee , a £5 or £6 hoody, decorate them and the profits are wonderful.
The US was always a innovator and had great companies with its massive market. Not sure this is still the case. May be Britmog knows.
Unfortunately it means I can never see value in high street brands and fashion !!!

PS I was going to post a Guzzi brochure pic which included three member of my family to save the club money on our print, pick them out and win a Guzzi garment. I thought my wife might have objected but a bit tempted for Guzzi fans.

Not using the approved supplier Paul ? brace yourself for a tut-tut email off someone from the Mi5CC

Never been approached by them. If they cannot be bothered to ask a centre to consider them then they obviously don’t need the business!

Julian has been excellent value and prepared to customise for individuals within a batch since I first dealt with him.

I also used him for one of my businesses.

Thanks everyone. I'll stick with Julian at Jancraft. He's given great service in the past and I'm the sort who remembers stuff like that.

Skrote, that is very commendable. If you find a good business and it gives excellent service stick with it . I got lots of business from people let down by others. I just wished that they had come to us first as stuff then was always a panic. I looked at his website or your centre and I could see by the product codes he was using quality garments ! A couple I didn’t know off the top of my head but it was nice to see FR (Front Row ?) included.. I have had a front Row denim shirt that has lasted years and years along with a collared top . But then I’m not a fashionista and as Martin says in Friends, I’m just an ordinary Jo who likes his Jo ordinary……..coffee menus make me laugh as I have no idea what they all are.

When going into a "sniffy" coffee place and being asked which of the 57 flavours/styles/types you want just start with "just an instant will do thanks" and watch the expression.

1. If they look confused go elsewhere, no sense of humour or desire to exceed expectations. Possibly also young and so assume £10 for a dash is normal.
2. Grin, realise someone is taking the Mickey and clever enough to enjoy the engagement, go back there.
3. Apologetic, engage and realise they do want to make you happy but are not on top of the game.
4. Look blank and say "can you see it on the menu?". Option to slap may exist.
