Planning a Cycling Event?

We receive more and more requests for technical apparel. Just recently one of our clients called us looking for a high quality bicycling jersey printed with their logo from collar to waistband. No Problem. As we have blogged before, the world of technical apparel with custom logos has become more the norm than the unusual.

MCM teamed up with one of our favorite screen printers who is a master at dye sublimation. Voila, in the blink of an eye we delivered this knock out looking jersey that feels like silk. That’s the beauty of great dye sublimation. You have to see and feel this shirt to truly appreciate the quality.

Our good friend Molly took the time to model it for this photo but we did not let her wear it on her ride with the old Promo Guy. He definitely would not cut it as a model.

When you are thinking of apparel for your next promotion seriously consider using one of the new technical apparel products. Don’t be left out in the cold. Call us at 888-344-6060 or click on www.mcmproduction.com

Technical Apparel for Corporate and School Promotions? Rash Guards

6 weeks ago I blogged about the big change in performance wear products making their entrance into the promotional products / advertising specialties industry. Call us slow adapters. Well, not really, it simply took the suppliers a little more time than we wanted.

Each industry and each sport moved at their own pace to make the big change to technical fabrics. When Chris and I seriously took up golf 15 years ago we were amazed at the total lack of breathable, wicking and truly water proof gear. Golfers always appeared cold and wet. Not any more.

By the middle of this decade the pendulum had swung and all sports were using the latest in technical fabrics. One of the hottest things out there today are Rash Guards. These are the spandex or polyester bodying hugging shirts than were adopted first by surfers and now are everywhere. Think “Under Armour”, it’s the most popular brand.

Today we have a number of great suppliers that offer a broad line of rash guard tops in countless, styles and colors. Through our relationships with some very technical printers we can print your logo or message in ways that you never imagined.

Looking for rash guards and other high performance technical apparel, we have got you covered. Click on MCM Productions or give us a call at 888344-6060. There’s no need to sweat about the right material.
