Native Spirit – Made to Print & Embroider.
For us here Fifth Column, top quality t-shirt printing and clothing customisation is the centre of our world. Consequently, we’re always on the lookout for plain clothing brands that set high standards and provide quality products. And, based in the London, we can access and source from a massive range of blank apparel suppliers. Well, we recently met up with the good folk from Native Spirit and thought they’d be a great subject for an article. They’re a progressive blank clothing brand and one which we think will be of interest if you’re considering ethical suppliers. You’ll get a good idea of what they offer in this piece. So, here we are, our Native Spirit clothing feature.
The Native Spirit Profile.
Relatively new to the UK market, Native Spirit have an impressively comprehensive catalogue. And they’ve put quality and environmental responsibility at the heart of it. Fashion is firmly in the mix but it’s minimalist and crafted from eco-friendly materials. Think organic cotton, linen, and recycled polyester and you’re in the right area. Beyond that, Native Spirit plain merchandise is fully customisable with no labels and delivered in recycled packaging. Yeah, you’re right, that sounds like our sort of supplier. Okay, let’s see some products.
T-Shirts – Native Spirit Clothing Feature.
Where better to start our look at Native Spirit plain apparel than t-shirts. Nowhere is the short answer because the customised tee never goes out of fashion. Whether it be promotions, workwear uniform or off the shelf brand sales.
It’s fair to say that Native Spirit offer a wide selection on the t-shirt front. All of the standard styles are in there. And there are junior and adult, unisex, male and female specific styles. Plus some interesting options that aren’t always found with blank clothing manufacturers. Above, we’ve picked out 4 of those to illustrate the point. All are unisex and eco-friendly.
- NS325 – it’s nice to see an organic cotton and linen blend in a shirt.
- NS345 – dip dye t-shirts are always an excellent fashion choice.
- NS308 – another on-trend tee that’s oversized and 300gsm French Terry.
- NS336 – a faded long sleeve t-shirt which is comparatively lightweight at 130gsm.
This is a snapshot, a small percentage of the Native Spirit range of tees. In other words, there’s a good chance they’ll have something of interest irrespective of your requirements.
Native Spirit Hoodies & Sweatshirts.
The hardworking hoodie and ever versatile sweatshirt are also staples for print and embroidery. So, no surprise that we’ve included them in our Native Spirit clothing feature. Once again, the catalogue is pretty much complete. That’s to say, adult and kids, men’s, women’s and unisex are included. With both pullover and zip hoodies.
- NS401 – a fashionable and comfortable 350gsm hooded sweatshirt.
- NS435 – a soft to the touch brushed fleece sweatshirt with dropped shoulders.
- NS409 – a delightful ladies zip hoodie with pockets.
- NS403 – a junior round neck sweatshirt made from sustainable materials.
With fabrics, we’re talking eco ethical organic cotton and recycled polyester. Again, there are lots more than the 4 four shown here.
Polos, Shirts & Dresses.
Right, all good so far, But our Native Spirit clothing feature isn’t confined to reliables such t-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts. Because the Native Spirit collection has far more than that. Items like polos, shirts and dresses. And, as with the products already mentioned, there are some refreshing styles and fabrics.
- NS221 – the ladies linen polo shirt which is chic and lightweight and also available in a male version.
- NS205 – an eco-friendly men’s waffle-knit polo shirt crafted from cotton and Tencel.
- NS515 – the stylish ladies cotton and lyocell shirt, an example of several male and female shirt styles.
- NS5010 – a ladies dungarees dress that sits alongside t-shirt and sweatshirt dresses.
Just a sample of this section of the Native Spirit offering. One that hopefully illustrates the diversity of apparel they produce. We could have shown children’s shirts and polos. Plus a number of other options for men and women with print shirts and plenty of other materials like jersey, linen and recycled in the mix.
Outdoor – Native Spirit Clothing Feature.
Okay, but what if your custom clothing range needs outerwear? Well, Native Spirit have some appealing options in that department. We’ve picked out a few examples.
- NS604 – a really nifty take on the sherpa jacket made from warm and fluffy recycled polyester.
- NS603 – on trend and eco-friendly, this men’s corduroy jacket is 100% organic cotton.
- NS615 – a unisex, waterproof jacket that marries fashion with practicality.
- NS601 – a water repellent, unisex wind-breaker.
Admittedly, not every customer will have jackets and coats on their print and embroidery list. However, if you do, Native Spirit are definitely worth a look.
Native Spirit Trousers & Shorts.
This is another area where Native Spirit have a really strong showing. And, it has to be said, a wide and interesting choice. At time of writing, there are about 30 products comprising joggers, trousers and shorts in child and adult. Shown above, we have the following.
- NS708 – a seasonal winner, men’s organic cotton and linen trousers.
- NS737 – a fashionable length, ladies eco-friendly 7/8 chinos.
- NS726 – super for summer, men’s cotton, modal and elastance shorts.
- NS750 – casual and cool, women’s jean shorts.
It’s easy to imagine any of these (or those not featured) looking the business with a spot of discrete custom branding. As with much of Native Spirit merchandise, the feel is on-trend but in many ways minimal. Which is a nice mixture when it comes to plain apparel for printing and embroidery.
Native Spirit Bags & Headwear.
Many brands want to expand their ranges once the custom wardrobe is under control. And bags and headwear are great ways of doing exactly that. Indeed, they may well be the primary focus of your business. In either case, Native Spirit could be your answer.
- NS132 – shop the sustainable way with a Jute shopping bag.
- NS140 – a fashionably faded organic cotton messenger bag.
- NS027 – get a vintage vibe to your branded headwear with this unisex ripped effect trucker cap.
- NS014 – an environmentally friendly unisex beanie.
In addition to these here, there are more tote bags, duffels and hats. With enough variation to fulfil a wide variety of requirements.
Native Spirit Clothing Feature.
Well, there we are, a short but sweet taster for Native Spirit. As you’ll have gathered, we can’t do justice to their entire catalogue in this piece. However, it should provide some idea of what Native Spirit offers. Especially in regard to the fact that they have a range that not only covers the basics but also has a unique feel to it. Simple yet somehow stylish, lots of natural fibres, and a colour palette inspired by the landscape. It’s an attractive combination. And certainly one to consider when you’re sourcing plain garments for your next print run.
