Race to Dakar Bike Suits

One such example was Charley Boorman and his team when they took part in the Race to Dakar. Five individually crafted bike suits had over 30 badges made and stitched on by hand for this phenomenal event. We were given the brief of over 15 sponsors and only four days in which to produce 150 badges and get them on the bike suits. The Paris – Dakar is the toughest endurance race of it’s kind and the badges we produced had to be just as tough and also stay on the garments. One of the badges attached to the jacket, had the life saving information of the blood type of the rider, vital if the participant was injured and needed a blood transfusion. When we get asked to make embroidered badges, we have to ask the client a few questions in return. These are essential to ensure that we get the right concept straight away, there generally isn’t much time as most of the clients that require badges are from either a production company or are on a film set or photo shoot, which is normally taking place that day & the next. Wardrobe you have our sympathies. If you are on a production team and looking for some badges, it’s helpful to know the following:

• Have the correct artwork – you’d be surprised how many times we’re given the wrong files
• Know the dimensions for the final size of the badge
• Be Pantone specific, greeny blue could mean anything and it’s really not worth upsetting your producer
• Confirm the use of the badge e.g. will it need to be fire resistant, we have specialist threads that are fire retardant
• Know how you would like it finished and in what colour i.e. does it require a satin stitch edge the same as the background colour or a different colour
• Tell us the timescale – vital so we can get the job done in time, we’ve often ended up working 48 hour shifts to produce some work, because someone forgot to mention that it was needed for tomorrow!!
• Important to us – who will be paying? Have their name & the company address including the department & postcode.

Once we have ALL that, we can give you an idea of time,price and compatibility for the job. It’s tough for us making badges, but we try to rise to the challenge and if you check out our gallery, we think you’ll agree we do a pretty good job.

Sorcher’s production team contacted us on the morning of the day that he was shooting his latest video for his first big release. Could we produce some T-shirts, printed two colour in various combination for that afternoon. Naturally we rose to the challenge and with some great team work, we got the job done with time to spare.

Since that day – Scorcher and the crew have been back on a couple of occasions for more shirts, the man himself, has launched his own clothing label – The Skywalker Range – and now calls on us to produce his last minute wardrobe items.

Last week he met up with Snop Dog, for a publicity shoot and we came to the rescue again.

We’ve included a snippet from the lastest video, which has a good view of our T-shirts.

If you like the shirts we produced for Scorcher, why not Contact Us to find out how we did it and more importantly how we could do it for you.

One such team were the guys from Skillset. They supplied their own shirts and asked us to print a simple black logo on the front.

Michael Brandon the organiser kept his promised and sent in the team shot of the guys wearing the shirts – this is what he said and it made us laugh so much in the office that we just had to share it!

Just checking in (as promised) with the results of our football tournament.

We got into the quarter finals of the plate competition – so finished in the top 16 out of 52!

We’re very proud of ourselves, and have plenty of injuries to show for it (note the blood on the shirt of the fella on the far right!).
We have a team photo attached. Although – it was taken at the end of the day, so we’re abit worse for wear.
The kits looked fantastic with the print – thanks so much!

Skillset are a charitable organisation, for more details on what they do

Tower running, the sport of racing up tall man-made structures, is a worldwide phenomenon that has recently hit the UK.  On 22 May 2010, supporters of The Sick Children’s Trust will be racing up the tallest building in Yorkshire, Bridgewater Place in Leeds, in the Tower Power Challenge. 

Individuals and teams are invited to take part in this adrenaline charged event, to raise money for the Big Move Appeal.  So why not get your friends and colleagues involved in this fast growing new sport, which take endurance to new levels, and do something wonderful for charity?  All you need is a pair of running shoes and plenty of enthusiasm.  T-shirts and timing chips will be supplied.

JeaP Clothing & Promotions is proud to sponsor The Sick Children’s Trust for the fifth year running, please support them too!

We provide the Tower… you bring the Power!

Once again JeaP was proud to provide the England & Wales Mountain Rescue Display Team with their show uniform. Mountain Rescue work in conjunction with Victorinox – maker of the famous Swiss Army Knife – they needed to be seen so bright red shirts with bold embroidery & print were the answer.

As the guys would be swinging in from the exhibition rafters, the shirts needed to be visual & bright, as you can see we fitted the brief and the lads were not to be missed.

Did you know: In 1884, master cutler Karl Elsener, founder of Victorinox, opened a small cutlery workshop in the village of Ibach-Schwyz in Switzerland, before designing and developing the legendary Swiss Army Knife in 1897.
The name ‘Victorinox’ originates from a combination of the name of Karl Elsener’s mother, Victoria (who helped Karl to open his cutlery workshop in 1884), and the abbreviation for Stainless Steel (Inox)
Over the last 125 years Victorinox has become a universally recognized symbol of high quality Swiss craftsmanship and multi-functionality. http://www.victorinox.com

Remember when climbing – No matter how experienced or careful you are, in the blink of an eye you can find yourself in need of rescue – your life in the hands of a rescue team. And, should you be unfortunate enough to need our help, you’ll receive a professional, world-class service – from a group of highly trained, highly motivated individuals. http://www.mountain.rescue.org.uk/

Eventing is an equestrian event which comprises dressage, cross-country and show jumping. This event has its roots as a comprehensive cavalry test requiring mastery of several types of riding. The sport was once referred to as “Militaire”, and there is such a format that riders complete all three events in one day, called a “horse trial”. Also, a “combined test” is a spin off of eventing which encompasses dressage and show jumping, but leaves out the cross country phase.

Farm & Country Supplies have recently extended and improved their equine range of products & husbandry equipment. They are also experts in Horse Worming and Animal Husbandry. For more info visit their website http://www.famandcountrysupplies.co.uk/

Rachael regularly competes and hunts on Mia and has recently started riding side saddle. So far 2010 has proved to be successful in this new discipline for Rachael & Mia. We look forward to seeing more of this exciting pair and wish them a fantastic season in 2010.

The Moody Cows also raise money and awareness for Macmillan Cancer Research following the death of the Moody Cows founder member and close friend, Kay Booker. Kay lost her battle with breast cancer in July 2009. Despite this tragic setback, 2009  was still a very successful year and the Moody Cows acheived a high standard of rugby play and an new intake of players from across the country and the globe.

JeaP Clothing and Promotions is proud to see how the Moody Cows have consistently improved, in the three years that we have been embroidering kit for the girls they have gone from strength to strength. We look forward to supporting them in 2010 and are hoping they will bring home the cup this year! Well Done Ladies!

In 1983 a group of men training at the Olympians Gym in Streatham, South London discovered a mutual interest in American Football, they began to meet and train on Streatham Common and one of Britain’s founding teams, The London Olympians, were born.

The Olympians are the United Kingdom’s most successful amateur American Football club. In over 25 years of British American Football the London Olympians have played in 18 finals winning 12 of them giving them the best record of any British team.

This year the Olympians will be competing in the British American Football League Division 2, competing with several of the UK’s top teams for the right to call themselves national champions.

Last year the senior team saw three top players take advantage of great opportunities as a result of their experiences with the Olympians. Defensive Back Adeotatus Twumasi and Wide Receivers Folley Ogundele and Kenny Bello were selected to be members of the GB Lions National Team. The Lions will travel to Germany in 2010, to compete in the European Championships.

The Olympians pride themselves on welcoming anyone regardless of experience or age, and what better way to learn than to be taught by experienced, motivated and friendly coaches as well as getting additional support from some of the best players in the country. So whether you are looking to take your game to the next level, learn a new sport or just love the game then get in touch with London Olympians as we have opportunities for players in youth (14-19), senior (18+) , coaching and non-playing staff.
