Custom cycling clothing: VTR, Fat Cat, Grom, and 'Cycling and Triathlon'

FATRACING · Updated

Team kit starts with a shared brief: who will wear it, what kind of riding it is for, how many items you need and when you need them. Below are four manufacturers to look up and a checklist of details to agree. Custom artwork and made-to-measure patterns are different services: check exactly what the offer includes.

VTR: separate customization bureau

VTR has official custom bureau for teams, clubs, and communities. The page lists our own production in Moscow, design assistance, and custom-made apparel for cycling, triathlon, and running.

For cycling and triathlon, a minimum order of five items is declared; the standard production time is 25 working days after final design approval and payment. Clarify how the minimum is calculated for different models and sizes and how long the fitting, mock-up, and delivery will take.

Important: in the VTR FAQ, limitations on changing the design and sewing according to personal measurements are explained separately. If a participant needs a non-standard height or special seating, coordinate this before collecting money. The official VK page is VTR / veter.cc.

Fat Cat: its own studio and the possibility of additional ordering

U FATCAT / Fat Cat Examples of team cycling clothing have been published, along with a description of our own sewing workshop and sublimation printing. The studio is located in Moscow, on Krylatskaya St., 14. Contacts and the current price list can be found on the same page.

The manufacturer offers to work with you on the design and agree sizes, height ranges, trims and finishing. Its FAQ says lead times depend on quantity and that design, model and fabric details are retained for repeat orders. Delivery of a large order in separate batches must be discussed individually.

Request the minimum batch specifically for the desired model, a fitting set, and the exact name of the bib insert. Ask to confirm the price and lead time for one item: the published reorder opportunity does not fix its cost.

Grom Family: a form with an individual design

The right direction — custom Grom Family. In Order instructions The application to the manager, coordination of quantity and design or color proofs, payment, and delivery are described.

Before calculating, specify the cycling clothing model: jersey, bibs, vest, or one-piece suit. The conditions for different sportswear items may vary. Ask to confirm the minimum order quantity, the cost of design development, and the readiness date after all sizes are approved.

Contacts related to the official store: Telegram Grom Family and VK Grom. Send the same technical assignment to all manufacturers to make the comparison meaningful.

'Cycling clothing and Triathlon': small orders and your own design

The Tyumen version from this collection is presented by the channel "Cycling and Triathlon". The description states individual design, several levels of materials, and free drawing of simple design. The contact for ordering is different from the channel address: @VELOFORMATRIATHLON.

The channel indicates manufacturing guidelines: 25–30 days for one order and 43–45 days for large volumes. Before paying, clarify if these are calendar days, what is considered a large volume, and from which stage the countdown starts. Individual models in publications may have their own deadlines.

The channel has example of the FATRACING form. In this group photo, girls and a guy on the right are wearing Tyumen clothing, and Arthur is wearing VTR. The material, insert, patterns, and cost of the new kit should be agreed separately.

What to send to all four manufacturers

  1. The composition of the order. Quantity of jerseys, bibs, vests, and other items; separately for men's, women's, and children's models.
  2. Tasks. Road, gravel or MTB; training, racing or long rides; the right season.
  3. Dimensions and fitting. Measurements according to the manufacturer's scheme, the need for sizes and the opportunity to get a fitting set.
  4. Layout. Logos, colors, examples of the desired design, surnames, and spaces for partners. Clarify file requirements.
  5. Date of receipt. We need the day when the items will be with the team, with a margin before the first start, not just the date of completion of sewing.
  6. Budget. Ask for the final estimate: products, design, sample, personalisation and delivery.

If the answer consists only of the price 'per set', ask for a breakdown. Two sets may differ in the insert, zipper, sleeve fabric, and seam treatment.

What to approve before starting production

Try on samples in a cycling position. If possible, compare shorts on your saddle: a beautiful mock-up does not show the position of the diaper. In the mock-up, check the readability of logos, their location relative to seams and pockets, and differences between sizes.

Ask for a colour proof on your chosen fabric. Colours can look different on a screen, on a paper print and on a finished stretch garment. Keep the final artwork, size breakdown, agreed specification and written confirmation of the delivery date.

Arrange for a reorder in advance: the minimum quantity, price per item, and material preservation. For a team that gets new participants, this may be more important than a small discount on the first batch.

How to compare answers without a conditional rating

Put the offers into one table: exact model, fabric, insert, quantity, fitting, design, time to delivery, total amount and terms of additional order. Mark an empty cell as a question for the manufacturer. Compare the cost of orders with the same composition.

Open conditions are verified on October 22, 2026: VTR, Fat Cat, Grom Family and "Cycling and Triathlon". Public landmarks do not replace the calculation of your batch. To buy ready-made clothing, start with List of Chinese brands, and the selection of the seasonal set is disassembled in an article about cold weather.
