INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 10 images NOVEMBER 2021 Visit us on Facebook: @imagesmaguk Want to know what your industry colleagues really think of the garments and accessories they decorate? Each issue, one reader tells us why they rate a particular product Aston Reilly, owner of Wild Hearts Embroidery and Merchandise in Forfar, Scotland, says her favourite garment to decorate is the Classic T (180M) from Russell Europe. This classic ringspun cotton T-shirt is an old faithful that never lets her down, she explains. “The 180M keeps its colour and shape well, and what I love most is that it can hold all types of garment decoration. “My customers are always so happy with these T-shirts, saying how comfortable they are and how vibrant the colours are — the sizing also goes from toddlers up to adults, so I can offer them to all of my customer base.” Aston says Result Clothing’s TX Performance Hooded Softshell Jacket (R230) is another absolute favourite of hers to decorate. “The sizing is great — I find that other brands can be shorter in the body, but these aren’t — and the ladies’ fit is so comfy. “The R230 is also available in a range of colours with contrast colour detailing, which really makes my customers stand out, and they love the added detail of the matching coloured zip pullers.” imagesmag.uk/nov21-readers-choice www.facebook.com/wildheartsembroiderynew READERS’ CHOICE Both the 180M and R230 are offered in a vibrant colour selection, says Aston Kylemark Workwear These smart leather aprons were embroidered by Kylemark Workwear in Ayr for The Black Lion pub in High Roding. imagesmag.uk/Kylemark-Black-Lion The Big Promotional Trade Show celebrates industry’s return Distributors and suppliers in the promotional products sector celebrated the revival in their sector at The Big New Products Trade Show, ahead of new dates in 2022.
