Focus on Schoolwear Keep schoolwear production moving
The back-to-school rush can put even the most organised embroidery department under pressure. With hundreds of polos, sweatshirts, blazers and PE kits to personalise, every minute of lost production matters.
The SWF Dual Function embroidery machine is designed to reduce downtime and keep more heads producing throughout the working day. Unlike a conventional multi-head, the Dual Function machine can operate in two independent sections. This means that while one side is being framed or prepared for the next schoolwear order, the other side can continue embroidering.
The same principle applies when something interrupts production. A thread break only affects one half of the machine, rather than bringing the entire multi-head to a standstill. Changeovers can also take place on one side while production continues on the other. For schoolwear decorators managing multiple schools, garment styles, sizes and logos, that fl exibility can make a signifi cant difference during peak season.
It isn’t about making the machine stitch faster. It’s about reducing the time your embroidery heads aren’t stitching. With SWF Dual Function, those saved minutes can quickly become additional garments produced, helping businesses get more from every working day.

Chadwick Teamwear is seeing a rising trend with schools swapping blazers and sweaters for midlayers over a shirt and tie. There’s been a lot of talk about evolving to a more ‘active uniform’. Schools creating a more functional modern day hybrid uniform while aiming to reduce parents overall basket spend.
Chadwick’s 790 Functional Midlayer makes a great smart alternative to traditional school blazers or knitwear. Made from 220gsm full dull fl at knit polyester, the 790 is built to handle the demands of daily school wear. The anti-pill fl eece lining keeps students warm through the school day without sacrifi cing.
This versatile layer can be styled with the classic shirt and tie, or with more casual uniform setup such as polos, T shirts, and activewear. Chadwick is looking to expand its colour range to include red and royal, giving schools more options particularly suited to younger year groups. More colours, more co-ordination.
Chadwick’s 111 Kinetic Hoodie is available in 11 stock colour combinations, making it easier than ever to build a look that refl ects your team, club, or school’s identity.
Made from 260gsm super-soft, high-count technical polyester, it delivers warmth and comfort with a modern, contemporary-inspired fi nish. As with the rest of the Kinetic range, the design includes a technical 3D cationic melange effect fabric on the shoulder panels, colour insert details, and contrast colour rubber print details on the sleeve and side. Overall, the 111 Hoodie with its premium quality ribbed cuffs and open hem delivers a modern athletic fi t built for comfort and movement. Want to build a full kit? Next month sees the launch of our 985 Kinetic Pant, completing the fully co-ordinated Kinetic range team bundle. Available to order now in sizes Youth XS to Adult 4XL.
