About the Navy Carolina Sublimated Varsity Jacket
Forty jackets, forty different names and numbers, same unit price as forty blank ones. Send the roster as a spreadsheet and each panel prints individually — this is the reason teams move from twill lettering to sublimation.
Navy and carolina blue is the safest two-tone in school sport: it sits inside almost every academy palette and needs no explaining to a committee.
Sublimation changes the economics of a varsity jacket. Because the artwork is printed into the polyester panel before the jacket is cut, a nine-colour gradient costs exactly what a single flat colour costs, and giving all forty players a different name and number costs nothing extra either. Screen print and embroidery both charge per colour and per placement; this does not.
The fabric is a 240 gsm brushed polyester interlock with a fleece-backed face — it holds colour density without going stiff, and the brushed back makes it wearable rather than clammy. Panels are printed, cut and then sewn, which is why the artwork runs cleanly through the seams instead of stopping at them.
Printing happens on our own floor: eight machines, six Mimaki and two Roland. Your artwork never leaves the factory for a subcontractor, which keeps colour consistent between the sample and the reorder you place eight months later. Where a design needs a raised element, we embroider a crest over the printed ground and you get both.
Blackthorn World has manufactured outerwear in Sialkot since 1995 under ISO 9001:2015 quality management, with WRAP and SMETA/Sedex social compliance. Cutting, embroidery, chenille and stitching all stay under one roof, so the colour standard you approve on your sample is the one repeated on your fifth reorder. We ship door to door to the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Europe, the Nordics, Japan, Australia and New Zealand by DHL, UPS and FedEx, and by sea for container volumes.
Send a tech pack, a reference photo or a rough sketch to sales@blackthorn-textile.com, or message WhatsApp +92 334 096 2222, and we will come back with fabric options, a costed proposal and a sample plan.

Frequently asked questions
Will a sublimated print fade or crack?
No. Sublimation dyes the polyester fibre itself rather than sitting on top of it, so there is no layer to crack, peel or wash away. The print outlasts the garment, which is not true of screen print or transfers.
Can every jacket have a different name and number?
Yes, at no extra cost. Send us the roster as a spreadsheet and each jacket is printed individually. This is the single biggest reason teams choose sublimation over twill lettering.
What artwork do you need?
Vector files are ideal — AI, EPS or PDF. We also work from a layered PSD at 300 dpi at full size. If all you have is a sketch or a photo, our in-house design team will redraw it; send whatever you have to sales@blackthorn-textile.com.
Can you sublimate a wool or leather varsity jacket?
No — sublimation only bonds to polyester. For a wool or leather jacket we use chenille, tackle twill or embroidery instead, or print the lining and keep the shell traditional.
