Retrofittng marketing logos onto clothes (outdoor gear)

[foliedouce]

I am sponsoring some children's outdoor wet weather gear but want it logoed up. The usual promotional items companies don't seem to see the gear I want to buy, so I was going to source it myself and then get the logos printed on afterwards.

Does anyone know of a company that can help with the printing? Ideally decent quality so it doesn't rub off after the first few uses.

Many thanks

I used to buy good quality coats and take them to an embroidery company to get my company logo added, so its certainly possible and embroidery is the way to go, not a transfer.

What type of clothing is it ?
We print with heat tranfers onto T shirts and hoodies etc.
The garment will wear out before the print comes off.

It is outdoor wet weather gear, so PVC / plastic finish, something like this:-



Can you help? If so, what are the costs?

If you're happy to source, then your best bet will be a local screen printer I should think, rather than a promotional print related business.

I'd have thought that, but due to lack of response from this thread, I found these guys:-

Cheaper than I could find on eBay or Amazon,

Order placed, arriving at the school tomorrow.

But doesn't that put lots of holes in the waterproof gear?
