About Custom Jogging Jackets & Pants

Your Jacket

Our tracksuit jacket is a classic zip-up style. The neck, cuffs, and hem are made with a ribbed fabric available in your choice of white, gray, or black. The color of the zip will be in the same color as the ribbing. There are two pockets, which will be printed with your design. Both pockets have a zip so items won't fall out when you're on the move. You can design the front, back, and both sleeves. Note that as the jacket is handmade, we may not be able to perfectly align the pattern across the zip. 

Your Trousers

The tracksuit pants are designed with a slim, low-rise fit with an elastic waist and functional zip details on the back of the ankle. There are open pockets that will be printed with your design on the inside as a creative touch. Your designs will be printed on the front and back of each leg as well as the waistband. The side stripe separates the design areas for the front and back of each leg and can be any color you want. We finish off the legs with a decorative seam running straight down the middle.

Create a Full Set

If you want to make a full tracksuit set, you can design your own jogging jackets & pants. Make them match as a homogeneous set, or design them differently to complement one another. Tracksuit are a unique way to show off your designs and makes a fantastic addition to any men's clothing line.

Note that with darker colors, the white backing of the fabric may show through when overstretched. 

Rox Sports Jersey is the star of the show for your custom jogging jacket and pants. This heavyweight fabric is a fantastic canvas for your designs and is easy to move around in. We print the fabric using a dye sublimation technique that infuses the ink into the fibers of the fabric for a show-stopping vibrant appearance. When you design your own jogging jacket & pants, you'll be able to design multiple areas of both pieces. The side stripe detailing on the arms of the jacket and the legs of the pants can be designed in any color to complement your art. 

Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage

We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:

• Light Fabrics (0.59oz-2.95oz): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 0.24" - 0.32" / 6mm-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 0.48"-0.56""/ 12-16mm
• Medium Fabrics (2.98oz-5.90oz): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.4" - 1.6" / 35-40mm
• Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.5" / 35-40mm

All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage, it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.

How Would you Like the Edge?

• As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border. 
• Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer. 
• Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile. 

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.

Is the tracksuit sold as a set?

No, both the custom jogging jacket & pants are designed and sold separately. To create a set, simply design and purchase both garments individually.

Where are the zippers located on the garments?

The jacket features a main zipper at the front as well as zips for the pockets. On the pants, there is a zipper located at the back of the ankles. Unzipping these will change the silhouette of the pants slightly to look flared.

Can I add my own branding?

Yes! Both garments can come with an optional label. You can design this label with your logo and branding, and we'll sew it right into the jacket and pants.
