Custom Rugby Kit & Teamwear Manufacturing For Leicester.
Leicester has two things going for it that most cities on this list don't: a genuine textile manufacturing history, and East Midlands Airport — the UK's largest dedicated cargo airport — sitting about 12 miles from the city centre. One shapes how seriously local buyers take construction; the other shapes how fast an order actually arrives.
Built For A City That Understands Garments.
A City That Clothed The World
By the mid-1700s Leicestershire was Britain's leading hosiery county, and the trade was so dominant locally that "Leicester clothes the world" became a genuine civic saying — buyers here tend to already know what good construction looks like.
Leicester Tigers-Level Rugby Standards
Leicester Tigers are one of English rugby's most successful clubs, and the school and club rugby scene beneath them needs the same reinforced seam and fabric construction, at club-sized quantities.
Freight On Your Doorstep
East Midlands Airport, the UK's largest dedicated cargo airport, sits roughly 12 miles from Leicester — orders aren't routed through a distant regional hub the way they are for most other UK cities.
"Leicester Clothes The World"
The phrase dates back to the city's 18th and 19th century hosiery boom, when Leicestershire's framework knitters — and later, firms like Corah's, founded in 1815 — turned the county into Britain's largest hosiery and knitwear producer. That industry has largely gone, but it's part of why Leicester, more than most UK cities, is a place where people still ask real questions about how a garment is actually made. It's also, coincidentally, the same question that led us to set up production in Sialkot rather than closer to home.
Why We Manufacture In SialkotShipping To Leicester
Air freight typically routes through East Midlands Airport, the UK's busiest dedicated cargo airport and a major DHL, UPS and FedEx hub, only around 12 miles from the city. Sea freight, since Leicester is landlocked, is generally quoted via Felixstowe.
Leicester Questions.
How do you ship to Leicester, and is it actually faster than other UK cities?
Air freight typically routes through East Midlands Airport, the UK's largest dedicated cargo airport, which sits right on Leicester's doorstep rather than a distant regional hub. Sea freight is quoted via Felixstowe.
Can one factory produce both our football and rugby kits?
Yes — both are produced in-house, with construction and fabric choices discussed specifically for each sport rather than a shared generic template.
Do you produce knitwear as well as sublimated kit?
Yes — alongside sublimated football and rugby kit, we produce knitted layers such as jumpers and base layers, a nod to the same knitwear tradition Leicester built its name on.
What's the minimum order for a club or school side?
20 pieces per design for bulk production, with zero MOQ on samples so you can confirm fit and fabric first.
