Training Tops
Warm-up and training layers for the part of the week that is not match day — long-sleeve tops and quarter-zip styles that carry club colour into training, travel and the bench. Printed or embroidered to match the match kit exactly.

Wicking knit, plain or brushed
Training layers work harder than match kit — they get worn for warm-ups, travel and the bench. We build them from a wicking knit, either plain for a clean embroidered look or printed to match the match kit exactly. A brushed inner face can be specified where the programme trains through a cold season.
Full breakdown of constructions, weights and how to specify them in the fabric guide.
