The brief
The first order led to clothing featuring BCCB’s own branding. In March 2019 the work expanded to a point cover, the small cover over part of the motorcycle’s ignition system.
Our approach
The clothing included chest and back prints, a distressed white version and multicolour retro designs. The photos also show a zip-up hoodie with back and sleeve embroidery, a beanie and a cap with raised 3D embroidery. For the first point cover, the customer confirmed in advance that the part was made of chrome-plated aluminium.
The result
The BCCB branding appears in several forms, from a large chest print and raised lettering on a cap to an engraving on a motorcycle part.

How do printed and embroidered clothing work together?
Choose the placement and size for each design first. A multicolour retro print can cover a large area. The embroidered clothing uses thread for a different finish, especially on the raised lettering of the cap.
