The outer west is a different world to the inner city. Kenmore and Chapel Hill are busy family suburbs built around Moggill Road, while Brookfield, Pullenvale and Upper Brookfield open out into acreage, horse paddocks and bush. The orders we get from out here reflect that.
A lot of it is school and club gear. There's also a steady run of home-based businesses and tradies working off acreage properties who want a proper uniform without committing to fifty shirts.
Custom embroidery for the outer west
Embroidery is the backbone of what we do. Your logo gets digitised in-house, then stitched straight into the garment, so it lasts through years of washing. It's the neat, professional finish most outer-west businesses want on a polo or a work shirt.
Common jobs from around Kenmore include:
- Polos and business shirts for clinics, real estate offices and consultants
- Caps, beanies and jackets for coaches, parents and committees
- School hoodies and leavers' gear with names and year groups
- Towels and bags for swim squads and sports clubs
See how it all works on our embroidery services page.
Pony clubs, riding groups and acreage businesses
Brookfield, Pullenvale and Upper Brookfield have a strong horse culture, and that brings its own kind of order. Pony clubs and riding groups often want matching polos, embroidered vests, jackets for cold early starts and caps for the whole team.
Because there's no minimum order, a small club can get a handful of items done now and top up later. We keep your setup on file, so a new member's polo matches the ones bought three seasons ago.
Acreage-based businesses are similar. Landscapers, fencers, farriers and mobile trades working out of Pinjarra Hills or Anstead often want a few durable, branded shirts rather than a full corporate uniform. That's an easy job for us.
Printing for school events and community days
For fun runs, fetes, working bees and school camps, printed tees usually make more sense than embroidery. They're quicker to produce in volume and let you use bigger designs.
- Screen printing for bulk event shirts in a few solid colours
- DTF printing for full-colour artwork and smaller quantities
- Combination jobs with embroidery on the chest and print on the back
Have a look at our screen printing page if you're comparing methods.
School and sports uniforms
The outer west has lots of schools, plus sporting clubs playing footy, cricket, netball, hockey and soccer on weekends. We help with P&C uniform shops, sports carnival shirts, coaching staff polos and senior jerseys. Our school uniforms page explains what's involved for a whole-of-school order.
Workwear and hi-vis
Plenty of tradies live out this way and head into town every morning. We supply and brand hi-vis and workwear from Hard Yakka, King Gee, Syzmik and TradeMutt, with your logo embroidered or printed to hold up on site.
Sublimated club kit in the outer west
For full team strips, sublimation is usually the right call. The design is dyed right into the polyester with heat, so colours stay sharp and nothing cracks or peels. It suits soccer, rugby, touch and netball kit, plus pony club and equestrian team shirts in club colours.
Each player's name and number is included at no extra cost, as every garment is printed individually. Stock polyester garments have no real minimum. Full cut-and-sew kit needs a minimum quantity and more lead time, so plan ahead before the season starts.
