matt.c - 9/10/10 at 09:23 PM

I have a black race suit and would to like my name to the back and a few other things like race team names etc.

How can i have this done and how much would it cost to have this done?

Thanks

Matt,
A number of places do it. Google is your friend.

Costwise, the initial cost is to make the mandel for all the logos, names etc you want on the suit.

Volume brings the cost down but not in your case as its a low volume order,

I haven't had any donw for a long time but I would expect a mandel to set you back £150 ish. give or take.

What is a mandel ?

I presume that a race suit (rather than a kart suit) would need nomex thread??

Effing cheap, but not the best either

We must point out that it is not possible to embroider directly onto race suits that conform to the FIA 2000 specification after the suit has been manufactured.

You can have your name/design embroidered onto a badge backed with suitable FR fabric which can then be sewn onto your suit with the same FR thread that is used in the manufacture of the suit.
