Designing for Performance: The Ben Marksby Collaboration
When Ben Marksby approached the Suzi Wong Team with a vision for his new custom boxing shorts, we were thrilled to bring his ideas to life. The design process began with a discussion about his preferences, focusing on a grey and black colour scheme that would exude sophistication while maintaining a striking presence in the ring. Our team worked closely with Ben to ensure every detail reflected his personality and style, resulting in a unique combination of satin and leather fabric that provides both comfort and durability.
Material Selection: Satin and Leather
The choice of materials was pivotal in the creation of these custom boxing shorts. The luxurious satin fabric offers a smooth texture, enhancing the overall aesthetic, while the leather panel introduces an element of strength and resilience. This combination not only looks good but also allows for flexibility and movement—essential qualities for any boxer. Additionally, the long tassels highlighted with a pop of bright orange add a vibrant touch that catches the eye, making these shorts truly one-of-a-kind.
Techniques and Challenges in Custom Design
Creating bespoke boxing shorts involves a series of intricate techniques, from pattern-making to sewing. Our experienced team tackled the challenges of ensuring that the satin and leather were seamlessly integrated, maintaining both the design integrity and functionality. We employed advanced stitching techniques to secure the tassels and embroidery elements, which included Ben’s name in sparkling detail, making his shorts not just a piece of clothing but a canvas for personal expression.
Embroidered Details and Personalisation
We understand that personal touches can elevate custom boxing kits. For Ben Marksby, we incorporated bespoke embroidery that reflects his journey as a boxer, complementing the overall design while also paying tribute to his sponsors. This attention to detail highlights our commitment to creating not just custom boxing gear but also a narrative that resonates with the wearer.
