27th January 2012 A note about e-mails. As you probably realise, it is quite an unreliable means of communication! Some get eaten by gremlins before we get to see them! If you need to email us, please use the link on the main page. We check emails twice a day and respond straight away, so if you do not receive a response within 24 hours, we are not ignoring you! Just give us a ring on 01730 817527 and we will provide you with an alternative email address to try. You can also fax us on 01730 817537 - an antiquated technology, but still more reliable! Would you like your business promoted on our website? Just buy your new embroidered uniforms from us, take a photo of yourself/your staff wearing the new uniforms, and bring it in along with a couple of paragraphs about your business, and then we will happily put a feature on our website for you free of charge. No catch! A useful idea for everyone - interesting information for readers of the website, promotion for your business, and a chance for us to show off our embroidery work. We take a great pride in our embroidery and always make sure we produce perfect results. Attention to detail is the key to great embroidered logos. Take lettering for example. Most embroiderers will just type in your business name to some embroidery software, send it through to their machine and hey-presto! Not us! We make dozens of minute adjustments to get the perfect finish - letter spacing (embroidery software never gets that right!), stitch density, compensation for stitch direction dependent on fabric, vertical alignment. Then we run off the design on a piece of fabric to make sure it is exactly right, before we finally embroider the garments, making sure that the embroidery is in exactly the right place. Do other embroiderers do that? We see plenty of the results of other embroiderers' work, often with a shudder! Don't fall into the trap of websites offering free embroidery. You might not like what arrives in the post! Come and see us with your design, leave it with us, and we will produce a runoff and a quotation. You will see exactly what you will be getting before you pay a penny. Beware of embroiderers who present you with runoffs on felt! Anything looks ok on felt, and it masks poor quality embroidery work. The end results are not the same. Your shirts won't be made of felt! We run off your embroidery on genuine garment material. We look forward to seeing you soon with your company logo or design ideas - the cost is surprisingly reasonable. 26th January 2012 Our latest safety trainer is now in stock! The LW600 Safety Trainers are stylish and comfortable. You would never guess they were safety footwear by their casual appearance! They are suitable for men or ladies, and are available from size 4 to 12. 11th January 2012 The latest addition to our range is the LW199 Memory Foam Insoles. These are extremely comfortable to wear. Made of the famous 'memory' foam, they shape themselves to your foot to provide arch support and heel cushioning. 10th January 2012 The Work Gloves Range has been updated, with three new additions: The LW451 PVC Gauntlets are useful where waterproof hand protection is needed. These are a very long gauntlet, perfect for drain work, etc. The LW452 Professional Finest Gloves are the ultimate work or gardening glove. We have had extremely positive feedback about these - our customers are telling us that these are the strongest work gloves they have ever had, but with plenty of dexterity. They are well worth the price, for such a top quality product. Do you have a little helper when you do the gardening? If so, why not treat them to the LW453 Children's Gardening Gloves? Kids love these bright and fun gloves. Another addition to our product range today is the LW340 Wax Hat. The attention to detail here is superb, in this traditionally styled waterproof hat, for under £25. 9th January 2012 A new polo shirt has been added to our range. The LW339 Ladies Polo offers the same high quality as our men's range but in a stylish ladies' fit. These polos wash well, and are suitable for embroidery. 7th January 2012 Some more new products have been added to our range today: LW297 Short Zip Fleece is a top quality, heavy fleece jacket, with a 1/4 length zip. This is a useful compromise between a fleece jacket and a sweatshirt. It has been designed in a top quality fabric, with embroidery in mind. We specialise in embroidering fleece garments and offer a superior embroidery finish, utilising a water-soluble topping that prevents the stitching from sinking too far into the soft pile of the fleece. LW298 Cotton Lined Bodywarmer has been re-introduced to our range. These have been a popular bodywarmer for many years, but last year we were not happy with the quality of make, so we did not stock them. We are extremely careful on the quality of everything we stock, to make sure we offer the best possible garments. We are pleased to report that the manufacturers have followed our advice and are now producing these in the same high quality that our customers are used to. They feature a traditional tartan cotton lining and are suitable for embroidery. LW299 Fleece Bodywarmer is our new, high quality fleece bodywarmer, excellent value at under £16. On special offer in store at the moment are some Bottle Green Hoodies, reduced from £13.99 to just £7.50. These are excellent quality and are available in sizes Medium or Large. Buy soon while limited stocks last! This offer is only available in store. We have received the following messages from events we have sponsored during 2012: From Heyshott Bonfire & Fireworks: "Many, many thanks for providing beautifully embroidered hi-viz jackets for our event, you support is very much appreciated and gives us encouragement. I think the fireworks were wonderful this year. We had a full page spread in the local paper which was very complimentary, also someone from Spirit FM was there and gave a glowing report on the radio next morning. We did well with our collections so we will have enough to pay for essential training upgrades for our pyrotechnicians." From Madhurst Festival: "On behalf of the MADhurst Festival Committee I would like to thank you very much for undertaking all the embroidery for the MADhurst Band Concert Polos, as well as the embroidery on the volunteers polo shirts. The MADhurst logo you managed to incorporate, as well as your personal design for the back of the Band member polos was terrific. We are enormously grateful for all the hours you spent doing this for us... I hope you saw the photos in the Midhurst and Petworth Observer of the concert itself. It was one of the most successful events of the whole festival... And of course, the 'uniform' worn by the band made the whole thing look so professional." Supporting local events is very important to us at Lavant Workwear. We cannot do everything, but we always try to be of assistance to local good causes whenever we can. We are featured this week on Page 2 of the Midhurst and Petworth Observer, on sale until Wednesday 11th January. Don't miss it! 6th January 2012 The Aprons range has been updated, including our exclusive embroidered motif designs: The LW449 Lets Cook Apron and The LW449 Flower Design Apron. These aprons feature lovingly-crafted designs in beautiful quality embroidery, and they are only available at Lavant Workwear. We have also added a new product today to our Tear-Resistant Waterproofs Range. The LW296 Fleece Lined Flex Jacket is the perfect coat for the outdoor worker in winter. It is waterproof, has a warm fleece lining and is resistant to tearing. It also features a fully-detachable, fleece-lined hood - all this for under £40. 4th January 2012 We have added some new products to our range today: LW196 Fleece Lined Wellingtons are the perfect non-safety wellingtons for the winter, with a warm fleecy lining and a robust construction. LW313 Kids Cotton T-Shirts - our popular 100% cotton T-Shirts are now available in a wide range of Children's sizes. These are made of the same high quality fabric as the adult version, and are suitable for embroidery. 3rd January 2012 Happy New Year! We are proud to present the latest in our wellington range, the LW198 Safety Wellingtons. We have searched for what we believe to be the best possible safety wellington and have found this amazing product. Incorporating the latest technology, a special process fills the polyurethane with millions of tiny air bubbles to cushion and insulate. These boots are warm in winter and cool in summer, resistant to oils, disinfectants and manure, slip-resistant and anti-static. Most importantly, they are amazingly comfortable and last up to 3 times as long as PVC wellingtons. Do your safety wellies split after a few months? A lot of people have this problem, as the rigid steel cap pushes against the unforgiving PVC. With the movement of the foot, eventually a split often occurs on the side of the wellington. Give these wellingtons a try and see how much stronger and more comfortable they are! 31st December 2011 The Baseball Caps range has been updated, illustrating the various different designs we stock, including our popular exclusive embroidered motif designs. Do you know an 'Old Timer', a 'Head Gardener' an 'Ancient Mariner' or somebody who loves fishing? If so, we have the perfect presents! 30th December 2011 The Product Range section of the website has been completely redesigned, to give much easier access to all the items we sell. Popular products are at the top of the page, with an A to Z section below. Hopefully this will make it much easier to find what you are looking for! We have more improvements and additions planned very soon, so watch this space! 28th December 2011 Some new products have been added to our range today: LW197 Waterproof Safety Boots are the ultimate in waterproof safety footwear, with a top quality whole cut leather upper, and a breathable waterproof lining. LW293 Heavy Fleece is our new heavy weight fleece jacket, with top quality, heavy duty zips and strong pocketing. LW294 Mac in a Sac Jacket offers excellent breathablility and waterproof protection from the elements. LW295 Mac in a Sac Trousers match the jackets, and offer the same excellent waterproof and breathable protection. On special offer in store at the moment are some Casual Socks in packs of 3, just £3 a pack, or two packs for £5. A very happy new year to all our customers!
