When the team at 1st & 2nd Brigg Explorer Scout Unit got in touch, they had a clear vision—and a bit of a problem to solve. They wanted a necker that looked sharp, represented their unit with pride, and cut down on fiddly stitching work. Here’s how we helped make that happen.
🧭 The Brief: Practical Meets Personal
1st & 2nd Brigg ESU had a few goals in mind for their custom necker:
- A bold red border featuring their unit name
- A strong central colour to make the red pop
- No more hassle sewing badges on manually
Like many Explorer units, they’re active, adventurous, and busy—so their gear had to be practical and personalised.
🧵 The Solution: Embroidered, Border-Branded Neckers
We worked closely with the leaders to create a clean, striking design:
✅ Dark green main panel for a bold, modern look
✅ Bright red border to stand out in photos and at events
✅ Custom embroidered unit name stiched along the border
✅ Direct embroidery of their logo—so no more sewing on separate badges!
This combo gave the unit a uniform, professional look while saving loads of time during kit prep.
🎉 The Result: One Happy Unit!
Brigg ESU were thrilled with the result—so were we! The embroidery added a high-end finish that looked fantastic both up close and from a distance. Plus, the stitched-in unit name on the border made their neckers instantly recognisable at events.
“These neckers are brilliant—exactly what we needed. They look great, and no more sewing badges on one by one!” – Simon Price
