How does the production of customised cycle jerseys work?

Have you ever wondered ‘how do I design my own cycling jersey?’. Well, it's very easy to create all kinds of custom cycle clothing. Kalas Sportswear is a manufacturer of custom cycling clothes that has been producing cycling team kit for more than 30 years. The following article explains how the production of personalised sports clothing takes place, what needs to be fulfilled and what are the individual steps of the production itself.

Whether you are a group of friends, a cycling team, a club or a company that wants to give your customers or employees an unique sports-themed gift, we have a solution for you. Kalas Sportswear is here for anyone interested in producing original custom apparel. And not just cycling jerseys, our range includes everything from shorts to gilets, jackets and accessories like socks and caps. Anyone can customize their set to their liking. We produce custom cycling kit from as little as five pieces, and it can be any combination of tops and bottoms.

And how does the production process itself work?

1. It all starts with contacting our sales team, who will be happy to show you all the possibilities of custom cycling jerseys. They will explain the different products, the production conditions and help you find the ideal option for your needs. 

2. If you are struggling with the design and have no clear idea of how the clothing should look, we have the GET ISPIRED tool for you. We offer you a wide range of pre-made designs to choose from, which our graphic designers will then modify according to your personal preferences - placing logos, adjusting colours, etc. Making your own cycling jersey design is a fun and creative process.

However, if your idea is clear from the start, the graphic designers will prepare everything according to your specifications.

3. If you are not sure which specific products and sizes will suit you, we will be happy to send you a test set before you order. This allows everyone to test which products fit best and which size is ideal for them.

4. In case you want to order cycle team jerseys and other cycling team apparel for a larger number of people, for clarity and convenience we offer to open your own personalized eShop for your company or club, where each individual rider can create their own order.

5. Once you have confirmed the order, your bespoke cycling jersey goes into production. There, it goes through several departments, from the cutting room, where all the fabrics are cut, to the printer and press, where the design is transferred to the clothes, to the sewing room, where the clothes get their final shape. Then it goes on to inspection and distribution. This whole handmade process from fabric cutting to delivery takes approximately 6-8 weeks.

The following video shows what it looks like in our production:

6. If you are concerned about the subsequent distribution of individual products to all your members, we will be happy to help you with this. We will arrange distribution according to the list of people supplied and we will also take care of matching individual sizes for specific people.

With over a decade of experience in the manufacture of cycling team clothing, we have perfected the entire process to make it as simple and enjoyable as possible for our customers. We use the latest technology and top-quality materials, with around 90% of our raw materials coming from European countries. Our aim is to do our job with the utmost precision. Our jerseys are worn by the best riders in the world, including riders in the Tour de France, where there is no room for error. Not only are we trusted by teams such as Alpecin-Deceuninck with world champion Mathieu van der Poel, but also by the British and Czech national teams, thousands of clubs and hundreds of companies.

So, if you're thinking about getting your cycling jersey personalised, don't hesitate to contact us by email or phone (+420 381 406 511). We'll be happy to help and advise you.

The insert, known among cyclists as the 'chamois’ or ‘pad’, is probably the most important part of any pair of cycling shorts. The quality of the pad is crucial for comfort and performance when cycling. A properly designed pad minimizes pressure on sensitive areas, provides ergonomic support and helps prevent blisters or abrasions. That's why our shorts and tights only feature pads from Elastic Interface, the world-renowned leader in this field. Years of experience, a proactive approach to development and the brand's exquisite materials ensure maximum comfort in the saddle.
