As you may have seen already, we've launched our newest products.... The Ultra Luxury T-shirts. The question everyone is asking is what's the difference between these t-shirts and our original t-shirts? What makes them Ultra and Luxury? So let's talk about it........
Our Ultra Luxury Regular T-shirts! Available in 4 colours: White, Black, Khaki and Beige. These t-shirts have been designed to give a stylish, comfortable fit...with an expensive feel. With a blend of 100% premium cotton and a heavyweight of 280gsm, these t-shirts scream quality. We have designed these with a raglan sleeve, that drops mid tricep and a waist that drops neatly. They are similar to our original regular t-shirts, but with a more luxury feel and look- hence where the title came from!
Then there's our Ultra Luxury Oversized T-shirts. These are available in 3 colours: White, Black and Khaki. With these t-shirts, we have differed them from our original oversized t-shirts and have tried to implement more style. We went for an oversized "boxy-american" look, with a low drop shoulder and a loose sleeve length that reaches almost your elbow.... so more of an oversized-oversized t-shirt. These have also got their Ultra Luxury name from their quality! Complimented like the other t-shirts with a blend of 100% premium cotton and a heavyweight of 280gsm.
We really have paid as much attention to detail, and listened to our customers when it comes to creating these. From reviews alone, we know these have been a hit, so be sure to purchase yourself some. These can be worn in all weathers, and can be used for your daily wear with any fit or can be used to brand your brand. We have made sure all our garments can be used for branding with all printing and embroidery techniques and these are available in single or bulk buy.
These are just 2 of our latest drops for 2023, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled. At Branded, we focus mainly on the quality, style and what's in fashion.... so you know we have some more great things coming.

Why do we here at Branded think slim fit is so in right now? Easy..
When choosing any of these four fits; slim fit, classic fit, regular fit and oversized fit we tend to think about two key factors.
In this day and age more and more people have become very health conscious thus dietary plans and scheduled workout days within the week. Naturally with such dedication will come results and desirably a more fitting clothing choice will help accentuate the hard work that's gone into achieving their current body goal.
A slim fit T-shirt for example has a narrow cut that focuses on minimal fabric, therefore, leading to a tighter fit that looks more modernized and hugs tightly to the body. Slim fit shirts tend to slim down through the chest and shoulders, giving you a more toned and sharp appearance.
For all you gymaholics who are packed with confidence this is definitely the style for you!
The classic fit T-shirt however emphasizes comfort with precise cut throughout the chest and waist. It has a broader cut across the shoulders and sides.
A regular fit T-shirt usually hugs more snug around the body while leaving enough room for comfort in the sleeves and waist. Regular fit T-shirts are loose, but not too much where it could be confused for an oversized fit. Most of our quick go to t-shirts will 9 times out of 10 be a regular fit style.
Last but most definitely not least one of our other best sellers is the oversized fit, a style best known for being the roomiest fit. The oversized T-shirts have no body definition at all. This style is most fashion forward for being an edgy fit or as many of us know it to be the most relaxed fit where we can just let our bellies hang in perfect peace!
So our overall end conclusion is it really is down to you on the style of fit and it really all depends on what you want and how you envision the clothing on you to look. Ideally you would want to imagine how the T-shirt would frame your whole body.
Our statement still very much stands that this summer 2022 slim fit clothing in general not just T-shirts as we used as an example today will be most peoples choice of fit purely based on the fact the last 2 years we've very much been locked up and away in our covid towers, with restrictions easing and holiday destinations opening up a lot of people have been pre getting their bodies ready to come with a bang this summer, so what better way to get that well deserved attention than throwing on a slim fit set!
When we’re picking out any outfit for our day, colour is definitely
majorly important.
I know some of us started our January ‘ New Year, New Me’ , probably traded in all your jeans for gym leggings or joggers and have spent the last three weeks living in active wear attire but Spring is slowly creeping on us and we’ve got to have a quick Love Island chat about what colours are trending this year!
We all have our go to colours, whether they complement our complexion, enhance or illude our figure; or just simply we live and breath our favourite colours so have to wear them everyday there’s never any harm in keeping an eye out on what’s trending and new ideas to keep you one step ahead as a current fashionista.
Like always most our colour trend palettes are inspired by the runway, what current fashion trending celebs are wearing and top designers. Spring/summer 2022 will offer a variety of different shades that will ultimately revamp our wardrobes if we dare to explore.
In no particular order and of course just some of our predictions based on the current runways from New York to Paris we have seen some very warm and soft colours such as Lilac and yellow which come very close to the light blue and cream shades we also have here at Branded, our team is always one step ahead for you guys! The more dare devil and bolder colours being royal blue and hot pinks will be head turners for sure.
As quickly as trends and colours recycle it'll be interesting to see what colours you guys choose to explore and step out with this Spring/Summer.
Well, What can we say... 2021 brought us some great trends and colours such as oversized tracksuits and different variations of the NUDE shade.
2022 is destined to provide a variety of new trends that will swoop us off our feet. One of these trends that we know will be very popular is the SHELL TRACKSUITS. These tracksuits debuted in 90s and was very popular in the American market amongst very high profile rappers and entertainers. They would wear them in music videos and to big events.
Soon it hit the UK scene and all the leading brands at the time began to sell these tracksuits with vibrant colours, shapes and panels. You could hardly wear one of these tracksuits and not be noticed from the other side of the room. All the leading brands of the 90s jumped on the wave and it was a sensation. They were oversized, really comfortable and really bright
Example below
At Branded Plain we anticipate just like all great historic trends, Shell Tracksuits will do a complete 180 turn and come back into fashion this year. However like TRAPSTAR and CORTEZ, it wont be as vibrant as the shell tracksuits of the 90s rather the complete opposite.
We anticipate that the Shell Tracksuits relaunch will follow the colour palette of 2021 and forgo the bold colourful theme of the 90s.
Thus, we will be dropping the SHELL TRACKSUITS in Black, Grey and Khaki and they will be available at the end of February 2022. These will sell out very quick so grab yours when you get a chance.
When manufacturing or starting any type of business, sampling is important to test your product. Sampling can be managed in many different ways. When manufacturing clothing from scratch, sometimes it's good to find stores that sell products that are the same shape or quality that you are trying to achieve. I've also known people to tailor their clothes in the UK and send them abroad to replicate, this can be expensive but will be worth it when you get the finished product.
Sample clothes will always be more expensive than bulk/wholesale clothing, which is why branded plain clothing have reduced their sample prices to wholesale prices to make it easier for you to check out the quality of the plain hoodies, t-shirts, joggers and caps before committing to a bulk order. Samples are a great way to launch your products before receiving the bulk order and to also check out the quality of product, almost every manufacturer and wholesalers will offer samples to their customers.
Depending on the business and the product you are working on, many businesses operate in different ways. When ordering some companies take orders for samples and some don't, just because they don't take individual sample orders this doesn't mean you won't receive a sample. If this is the case the manufacturer will supply you a sample before they start the bulk production, not every manufacturer works like this but i find this more cost effective but can also be a risk if the manufacturer struggles with your design concept. To avoid this from happening, spend some time creating tech packs with clear sketches and details about the product you are creating so that way you are eliminating any room for error.
When manufacturers and wholesalers offer cheap samples this runs the risk of new companies constantly ordering samples to fulfil customer orders, this is like drop shipping. This slows down order fulfilment times and also increases expenses, the point of sampling is to see a product before you place the bulk order or the bulk order is started.
Branded Plain Clothes have launched their very own luxury plain peak caps in 3 different styles starting with the cotton cargo strap back, cotton mesh snapback and a suede mesh snapback. Brandedltd.co.uk offer wholesale prices as well as sample prices on orders under 20 units, sample prices are always more expensive but also minimizes the risk of ordering thousands of pounds worth of stock and not liking fit or the quality.
As a thank you to our customers for the support over the first few months and a successful launch Branded Plain Clothes are offering 1 sample cap for free to every customer. This is a great way to review the product and to see if it will work well with your brand. The caps available are part of the luxury collection with a faux leather peak on all caps and a leather strap on the strap backs. The discount will apply when you take the product to check out, although the cap is free shipping from an external company unfortunately is not free. The shipping price covers the packaging and guaranteed shipping. At branded we use systems to guarantee fulfilment and returns and DPD to take your clothing from door to door.
Caps are a perfect accessory to finish off a great outfit, and these black faux leather caps aren't as common amongst UK streetwear brands. Clothing has been accessible to street wear brands with plain clothing brands like fruit of the loom being rebrandable with tear away labels, but unfortunately plain caps haven't been as accessible till recently. Brands like New Era, Mitchell and Ness and Nike were dominating. The only way brands could introduce custom caps to their range was with extremely high MOQs from factories in Pakistan or China. Fortunately companies like Branded have plain caps available with MOQs as small as 20.
Branded Plain Clothing have finally launched their Plain Flat Peak Caps with a plastic adjustable snapback, these plain caps were popular during the early 2000’s. They was the evolution of the new era fitter caps which were worn by rappers and athletes in America, these caps were mainly sports associated with team logos from the NFL, NBA and NHL. Most popular was the Miami Heat, Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bulls, with brands like New Era and Mitchell & Ness heavily dominating the fitter and snapback market there wasn't much room for start up brands to release caps like these.
Later on caps and accessories became more accessible to start up brands, clothing like hoodies and t-shirts were easy to come by with brands like fruit of the loom and gildan but caps not so much. Until the Plain Cargo Distressed Strap Backs were introduced to suppliers in the UK and Flat Peak SnapBacks were not as popular, but now it seems that snapbacks are again growing in popularity amongst the streetwear community. Caps are a great way to compliment an outfit, hats allow you to make a statement without saying a word
Branded have 9 colourways available in these new Flat Peak SnapBacks, starting with the popular Black, Grey, Navy and White these colours are for everyday wear and can work well with almost any outfit, logo or colour. Also stocking vibrant colours like Red and Royal Blue these are commonly associated with the american flag and are rapidly growing in popularity amongst the streetwear community, adidas have been big advocates for these colours with the Adidas Originals SS Tracksuit becoming popular after Stormzy wore it in his Shut Up freestyle reaching 100 Million + views on his own channel.
