Can any one help - personalised emroidered polo in 6XL?

I am running out of ideas and wondered if anyone here could recommend anyone. I need 2 polo shirts in black with our business logo embroidered on. I have looked on ebay but those advertising only go up to a 5xl in black. I have tried google and emailed approx. 3 firms yesterday (those whom said they did 6xl on their site). Not one has bothered to respond. I have also looked on sheffieldforum to see if anyone there could help, but those advertising embroidery services have not replied to me.

Does anyone know of a company who can supply 2 shirts in (1 in black 6xl, 1 ladies 14) and will have the courtesy to respond? I know it is not a huge profitable order but I thought they must be available!

    Try Penhale Embroidery - I don't know what size they go up to but they are very very good. Their website isn't fantastic but their service is.

    Suggest supplying your own shirts to a local T shirt printer/embroiderer?
  • I sell a couple of Polo shirts that come in 6XL which is 52/54 Inch Chest.

    You can see them on my website logopress.co.uk

    If you go to the search page, which is the main link with /search at the end and enter product code 539M or 599M you will see the different shirts.

    The workwear one is less than £10 including delivery and there are lots of ladies shirts there too.

    Now I cant embroider for you as for 2 shirts it would be too expensive, but if you wanted a printed logo on then I can do that for £6.00 .

    Hope that helps.

    Regards

    Thanks - I'll look into those. One site now has come back to me and I'm awaiting a confirmed costing.

    Could you not buy the shirts and get someone who is good at sewing to embroider them for you? (When my son was 14, there was a very popular logo on shirts that I couldn't afford to buy him so, I set too and embroidered it by hand. To this day, he doesn'y know I didn't buy it!)

    What about your local College doingTextile/ embroidery courses. Could you put something on the notice board or phone to see if a student would be interested? Or, we have a local dressmaking/ mending shop - maybe they have an embroidery machine where it could be done.

    Try Sports Crest in Bangor Co. Down or Ski & Sports in Belfast. Both have done work for me and are very reasonably priced. Or buy the t-shirts and get someone to embroider them for you - I have a customer who does all of mine!
