As the UK’s number one supplier of embroidered epaulettes we receive all kinds of orders from a huge range of business, charities and societies. However, there are few orders that bring a bigger smile to our faces than those from the emergency services. If you did not quite appreciate just what a tough and sometimes unforgiving job the UK’s emergency services do, then this week’s riots will have no doubt reminded you just how proud of them we should be. Fire-fighters working through the night to put out infernos; the police facing a constant barrage of bottles, bricks and blazing road blocks and paramedics whose selfless medical support helped hundreds of innocent people caught up in the riots.
So when we received the call to produce embroidered epaulettes for the nation’s paramedics, we were only too pleased to oblige. Take a look at the embroidered epaulettes we produced...
Embroidered epaulettes are a particularly important part of the uniform, helping to identify paramedics as exactly that. So when arriving at a scene people will know to step back and let the professionals take over.
If you require embroidered epaulettes please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team here at the GF Shop. We will produce a high quality product which perfectly meets your brief.

Clothing has seen some changes over the decades. The 60s bought us the mini-skirt, the 70s was the decade of flares and the 80’s was the decade best left forgotten! Clothing trends come and go, but until now clothes have rarely performed any other function than providing a fashionable covering or protection for the body. Our embroidered clothing service offers customisation for many different clothing items, but we haven’t seen any new innovations to hit the clothing market in a long time. Until now!
Japan has suffered many electricity outages and restrictions recently following the tragic earthquake and tsunami. Such restrictions have meant many office workers have struggled against the heat as the mercury goes through the roof. Unable to rely on air cooling fans and air conditioning, office workers have been forced to sit dripping sweat in very hot and humid conditions.
Often out of desperation comes genius and some clever people at Kuchofuko’s Clothes decided to design special clothing that also provides air conditioning for the body. The hottest item in their range right now is the air-cooled jacket. Sporting two cooling fans on each side, the coat allows air to be drawn in and cooled. The coat then inflates allowing cool air to circulate around the insulated internal walls of the coat cooling the wearer down considerably. What might seem like a gimmick actually has sound financial and environmental gains. Whereas offices needed to switch on air conditioning units to cool an entire office, the air conditioned coats now do the job perfectly well at a fraction of the cost. As a result of keeping air conditioning units switched off, companies can also reduce their carbon footprint.
Uptake of the coat is growing and the company has sold at least 40,000 air-conditioned products since they first began. Each coat costs around £80 which seems like a high price, but when you consider the comfort, economic and environmental advantages it is actually quite a small price to pay.
Air conditioned clothing has so many possibilities. Factory workers, office workers and construction workers often work in very hot conditions causing drops in productivity. Being able to keep cool in these conditions would ensure staff are comfortable and more able to carry out tasks more efficiently. It’s probably only a matter of time before branding starts to be seen on these items of clothing in the form of logos and company names. It’s not clear yet how that branding will take shape, but possibly in the form of printed or embroidered clothing.
So watch this space. The moment that air conditioned clothing comes to the UK we’ll be keeping a close eye on its progress. We can brand most things and this type of clothing is no exception! These items would be perfect for our embroidered clothing service and would not only look cool, but keep you cool too!
Ok, so i’m assuming you read last week’s article heralding the coming of summer, and probably went and bought yourself a pair of embroidered shorts as a result. Well I cannot apologise profusely enough. The last thing you need in this weather is a pair of embroidered shorts. Next time I write about summer gear I intend on attaching a disclaimer to the bottom of the article, removing any responsibility from my shoulders should you suffer a bout of hyperthermia as a result. A safer topic this week, embroidered jackets!
For work or play outdoors, our range of embroidered jackets will provide you with the protection you need. Our range includes:
• Workguard heavy duty combo coats
• Result waterproof work crew jackets

Here at the GF Shop we offer a full customisation process, making our embroidered jackets perfect for an outdoors workforce. However, as well as protection from the elements, they are also extremely smart and help to create an excellent first impression. And once we have let our highly skilled embroidery team loose on your jacket, who can professionally embroider the name, logo or message most associated with your business onto the lapel, chest or sleeve, you will be left with a rather resplendent over garment.
So if your workforce needs to look smart outside, then our embroidered jackets offer the perfect solution, and at a fantastic price. What’s more, the more you buy, the cheaper the unit price becomes. So browse our selection of embroidered jackets and buy online today.

Summer’s here at last; well sort of. Visitors to our fair isle would no doubt snigger in the face of our predominantly overcast, mildly warm days. Well sod them. It’s all we’ve got. And you know how we need to show them just how proud we are of our resplendent British summers? By getting our disappointingly thin, pasty little legs out, that’s how. Look at me Shane from Australia (who’s no doubt found work in your local bar), it may be drizzling outside but i’ve got a pair of embroidered shorts on, and you know what, you can sneer all you want sunshine, my legs may look like a couple of pipe cleaners, but this is how the Brits enjoy their summer.
Well if you’re looking for the perfect pair of embroidered shorts to frame your pathetic little carriers, look no further than the GF Shop. We have an extensive range of shorts for both men and women from some of the industry’s most recognised brands, and what’s more, they can be tailored to your taste. Our embroidery service enables us to professionally adorn your shorts with a team name, emblem or design of your choosing, which will leave Shane from the bar aghast and drooling into his tasteless Australian lager.
Just have a look at our embroidered shorts collection. We have everything from Henbury chino and cargo shorts for men and women, through to work shorts to keep your employees smart and cool during the tepid summer months. And of course, your work shorts will look all the more dazzling once they are faultlessly embroidered with your business name or logo; just think of the possibilities!
So here’s to the British summer. Buy yourself a high quality but fantastically priced pair of embroidered shorts here at the GF Shop. If nothing else, they’ll be perfect for indoors.
There’s absolutely no risk of finding a hole in one of our items of embroidered clothing. And you know where else there is no risk of a hole in one? On the golf course, that’s where. If you doubt the authenticity of this statement then the proof will be in the pudding. And the pudding is to come in the form of the Macmillan – Longest Day Golf Challenge.
Now in pudding terms this is a big one, like a massive sprawling trifle. On June 21 we are supporting the fantastic work of the good people at Macmillan Cancer Support by completed 4 rounds of golf in just one day. Some figures to put this endeavour into perspective: we will have to walk over 25 miles, play for over 15 hours and hit around 300 shots (realistically more like 3,000).
Last year over 300 teams took part in the challenge and raised more than £325,000 to help those people in the UK living with cancer. So here at The GF Shop we thought it was about time we did our bit.
Now the last thing we want to do is to hold everyone up; so naturally we’ve been putting in a bit of training. This has been the difficult bit. Because as a real golf fan, training has meant playing lots and lots of golf – the things we have to do ay.
