Q: What kind of work does Brazen Canadian do?
A: Brazen Sportswear is your source for embroidery on shirts, caps, jackets, casual business wear, aprons, baby blankets, bibs, and just about anything else that can support a thread and needle. We do work for all your different needs, whether you need something for business, promotions, family, conventions or golf outings.
Q: Do you work with companies from other countries?
A: Of course! We are ready, and well equipped to deal with the global community! If United Parcel Service or Federal Express services your location, we can go to work for you right away! It is easy to handle most if not all of the particulars for your order in a professional and personal manner right here on the Internet. With e-mail, scanned pictures, and the rest of the electronic age at our fingertips, you get service that is just like being at our shop!
Q: Do you have an embroidery design catalog?
A: For the most part, we create designs to your specifications. However, we also have a stock design catalogs containing over 20,000 designs - which would be most difficult to post on the Internet or combine into a single catalog. If you are interested in a specific topic, we can fax or e-mail you scanned images from our collection that would best suit your needs for you to choose from.
Q: Do you supply the items to be embroidered?
A: Yes! We can supply you with highest quality, name-brand apparel that was made specifically for embroidery. Check out the catalogue links to find top quality garments for embroidery. We can also work with quality garments you provide. If you elect to provide your own goods for production, please send us a sample for inspection, since not every garment is capable of supporting or accepting quality embroidery.
Q: What kind of minimums does Brazen Sportswear have?
A: We will accept orders as low as 1 piece.
Q: How much does embroidery cost?
A: We realize that most shoppers start their purchasing process by comparing prices. That is very difficult when shopping for embroidery. Since no two embroidery jobs are quite alike, pricing an embroidery order is a difficult task. We can tell you that Brazen Sportswear offers the highest quality service at a competitive price. All designs are quoted based upon estimated stitch count and quantity, and we always offer a firm quotation of price in advance.
Q: Can I phone in, or fax in, my order?
A: Yes. You can e-mail a description or scanned image of your requirements to us by clicking here brazen@brazencanadian.com , or fax us your ideas for a quote at (250) 897-3135. We will return a quotation for your approval as quickly as possible. Brazen Sportswear gladly accepts VISA, Mastercard and debit card.
Q: Do you have any stock designs available?
A: Yes. Besides having the ability to custom create any design you wish, we offer a catalog of over 20,000 stock designs and 40 lettering typestyles from which you can choose.
Q: What kind of embroidery designs can I choose from?

Q: Do you have different typestyles available?
A: You bet! We have over 40 typestyles to choose from. We have block styles, script styles, old English and more.
Q: Will there be a set-up charge if I create a design using stock designs and stock lettering?
A: There is a small, one time charge starting at $10 for having one of our artists put your design together from stock components.
Q: Can I change colors within stock designs?
A: No problem! Just tell us what you would like to see, and we can get it done. We'll even offer our advice if we foresee a conflict in your color choices and the design layout / background colors.
Q: What colors do I have to choose from?
A: We offer a wide variety of colors and shades of thread. If you like, we can send you sample threads to examine.
Q: What do I need to supply to Brazen Sportswear for Artwork?
A: The better the quality of the artwork you provide, the more closely we can match what you are looking for. We prefer to work with good, clean full color renditions of the art you want reproduced. If you have a design that you are happy with, that was previously created by another embroidery shop, sending us the disk (the computer disk that created that design) from that job ensures a perfect reproduction, and lower setup fees.
Q: Can you create artwork for me?
A: Yes! Just e-mail or fax your ideas, design or logo, and our art department will go right to work. We'll send you a proof for your approval before committing the order. Artwork charges are assessed at $40.00 per hour for design creation.
Q: I have a logo. What disk formats can Brazen Sportswear work with?
A: Our computers can read all the major bitmap formats, such as .BMP, .TIFF, .JPG and .GIF. We can also work with vector formats of .EPS.
Q: How do you send a file by E-mail?
A: File attachments are one of the best things that ever happened to E-mail, and almost every E-mail program supports this function
