We recommend measuring yourself and comparing to the tables below.  You could also measure a top you already have that you know fits you well.  The Chest (half) measurements below are for the width of half the top, e.g. flat across the front, so you would need to double that for your measurement, e.g. the size 10 ladies’ vest is 43cm laid flat, or 86cm/approx 32″ all around.

I compared the ladies’ vests to the current orange t-shirts, and they seem to be almost identically sized, the style is fitted but the material is stretchy.  The unisex is a looser fit but with slightly larger arm holes.

Unfortunately not – as these are printed to order, we can’t return them to the supplier.

If your vest is faulty for some reason, we will of course get it replaced.

If you order a non-personalised one, you may find a member willing to swap or take it off your hands.  You can always get it personalised afterwards if you aren’t sure, Freedom Embroidery and Gooch Sports both offer this as a service.

Yes, unless you’re officially competing for Newent Runners, which most of us won’t be.  Just entering a race, e.g. Cardiff Half, as a Newent Runner doesn’t mean you’re competing, you will know if you come under that particular category.

Yes, within reason.  Your name, initials or nickname would be fine – it has to fit, so we’d suggest 15-20 characters maximum.  

And you’re publicly representing the club so keep it clean! No X-rated nicknames – you’ll be asked for alternate personalisation if we get anything we think is unsuitable.

No, not if you don’t want to.  You could have it blank on the front, or Newent Runners on both front and back if you would prefer.

The new vests are sublimation printed, meaning that the whole design is printed onto the fabric.  This means less seams to chafe (hooray!) but does mean that we need a minimum order quantity of 10 ladies/10 unisex before we can place an order.  It’s not worth the printing company doing a run of less than 10 units of any one garment.

So firstly, we have to wait until we have 10 of any style before ordering – secondly, once ordered, the vests currently take about 4-5weeks to be printed.  Hopefully the lead time will decrease once the world gets back to normal, but they’ll be worth the wait!

Yes we will, for plain training shirts please use the web shop.  For sublimated t-shirts or long sleeved tops that match the vest, please use the form below.

For hoodies, please go to Gooch Sports.

We now have a web shop with our other personalise items – please visit the Shop to view and purchase.  If there’s something not listed that you’d really like, please use the Contact Form and let us know.  We’ll put it on the list for consideration!

We’re very grateful to Julia and Gooch Sports for their support of us over the years, and they will still be providing hoodies for us so we can continue to give them some business.  The company we’re using for the new vests is also local, based in Highnam, and they have a great range of products available for us.

Don’t forget Gooch Sports also stock other sports gear so please continue to consider them for your trainers, socks and any other general sports items.
