UNIFORM ESSENTIALS

Our loose fit rashies are oversize and designed with comfort in mind. They are ideal for swim instructors, or any use where you are fitting a wide range of different sized people. All our rashies are unisex, but the loose fit rashies are designed to be a loose fit for the equivalent men’s size.

Our tight fit rashies are more like a surf rashie, tight fitted for activity like surfing or swimming. They are tapered at the hip to fit firm. These are also unisex but are a firm fitted design so there is minimal drag when you are swimming or surfing.

As our rashies are designed to be sun safe, the sleeve length on the short sleeve rashie is designed to finish above the elbow. Of course, everyone is different, so they will be slightly longer on people who have short arms, and shorter on those who have long arms.

As there is a wide range of activities and uses for our rashies we have three fabrics to choose from.

Extra Life Lycra

Made with: spandex, it is stretchy, smooth to touch and as a result of this can have a shiny finish.

Feels like: Smooth to touch

Ideal for: Rashies to be used in the ocean – not recommended for chlorine pools, use in chlorine pools can cause premature wear.

Eco option: Yes – but keep in mind the recycled lycra is thicker and does not have as much stretch, as a result of this is tends to be more durable.

Fit: There are two options for this, recycled (firmer fit) or standard (more stretch)

 

Chlorine Proof (Aquamax)

Made with: polyester base this makes it a durable option when exposed to harsh chemicals like chlorine

Feels like: Rougher matt finish  

Ideal for: Rashies to be used in chlorine pools – not recommended for surf as the rough finish when combined with salt can cause chaffing

Eco option: Yes

Fit: limited stretch so can make for a firmer fit

 

Performance surf

Made with: Spandex/poly with a ribbed finish

Feels like: Buttery soft fabric

Ideal for: Rashies to be worn doing activity in or near the ocean due to the stretchy fabric that moves with you and silky finish eliminating opportunity for chaffing

Eco option: Not currently available in this fabric due to the specific nature of it  

Fit: standard – stretchy fabric moves with you

Sublimation

Ideal for: garments with more than 2 logos, or multi coloured logos

Sublimation uses high heat & pressure to sublimate inks into fabric. The design, logos and colours are all applied at the very first step of the manufacture process. All designs are done digitally, so there is unlimited designs, colours and logos for no additional costs. Which makes it a great option for garments that need to be a specific colour as colours can be matched, or for multi coloured logos, or for all over designs. There is no limit to what can be done with sublimation.

Lead times vary from 2 weeks to 8 weeks. 

All custom made sublimated garments take 6-8 weeks to manufacture. NOTE: This does not include design time. 

Our express service offers a quick turnaround for off the shelf apparel. This is a 1-2 week lead time (subject to availability)

All our lead times are quoted from payment and production order signed off. 

When we make custom sublimated garments for you we are literally starting from a roll of white fabric. We print, cut and sew each garment to order with a capacity for over 10,000 pieces a day. Quality control is so important to us, and every detail of your garment is carefully considered.

Every seam features a specific style of stitch to best support that particular seam, using colour matched cottons to ensure that you don't even notice it. 

We will always strive to deliver ahead of schedule for you, but we will never under quote time frames as we know how important it is that you receive your gear on time, every time. 

No worries, but please ensure you let us know time frames so we can work towards that time frame from day 1. We can express items but there is an express fee, but we mostly prefer to push early to ensure we hit your delivery date. If you let us know  up front, we will let you know if we think it is possible. 

Different styles attract different minimum order quantities. We do our best to provide the lowest minimums possible to allow every club or team to have access to great uniforms and merch. We have some items that have a minimum of 1 unit, others that start as low as 2 unit minimum. Many items attract a better price at 10 unit minimum or 20 unit minimum.

We strongly recommend club's get samples as items are custom made so cannot be returned or refunded if you got the wrong size. We can facilitate exchanges if we host a club room, only if the item you wish to exchange is in stock.

Still not sure? You can email us hello@catfishdesigns.com.au and we’ll be happy to help you out or  you can book in a 15 minute phone size consult.

NOTE: this is a general guide. If this information is different to the information on a particular product you are looking at, use the information from the particular product you want to purchase. Also note any size notes on the specific item you are looking at. 

Prices for our garments vary depending on a number of factors but the biggest factor is quantity ordered. The more that are ordered, the better pricing we can offer. The other main impacts on price are, use of fluro colours, requiring express delivery (under 6 weeks) and level of performance/tech you're looking at. 

On our products we have advertised most common quantity price and this MOQ will be noted on the product. Please keep in mind that prices are much more expensive the fewer items you get. 

Best to get in touch to request a price list for our pricing or provide a design brief so we can accurately price. 

A couple of things that are a certainty: 

• Set up fees - usually $120+gst 
• Logo re-draw fees - if you cannot provide a vector format logo it is $60+gst to re-draw 
• Delivery fees - these depend on where you are and how big the box is we're shipping to you. We use Australia Post and Startrack as the most cost effective and fast options. We will quote delivery charges with your order but keep in mind $20-50 per box depending on your location.
