It seems all clubs are struggling in supplying shirts for fans.

And there lies the problem, Asia. Even though our shirt manufacturer Macron is an Italian company, the shirts are made in China.

Perhaps with new ethos we can find a company that manufactures them here for next season (I know the last time we did it they were poor quality) But needs looking at surely

Where do Hope and Glory manufacture their kits? They are supplying Cleethorpes and Broadley so Matt who runs Broadley FC might actually have some insight into their manufacturing. I suspect virtually every supplier has them made in the Far East or India, Bangladesh etc.

I think the Macron deal has another year to run too but I would like to think progressive owners across the pyramid will look to get next seasons kits signed off earlier and seek some guarantees regarding supply.

Designed and manufactured in Oldham. They do some decent looking gear to be fair…

Oh! Thanks for that. I thought they were made in Italy. I probably won't be buying one. The club doesn't see all that much from a shirt sale anyway, especially with the ST discount

I believe the club are looking at a factory to produce it in weatherfield, Manchester

Shirts
Authentic (players) V Replica (fans) differ in quality of material and finish. So whilst the Hi Tech shirts can and are designed/manufactured in the UK, its the replica shirts that are the problem, UK doesn't have the sweat-shops that China has. But the price is not that expensive at the beginning of manufacture.  
This is an excerpt from a BBC Business report
"Typically, around 5.8% (£3.48 of the cost of a £60 replica shirt is the cost of the fabric, sewing and shipping, according to Rohlmann. About 11.5% (£6.90) of the sale price is profit for the manufacturer while the club receives just 3.6% (£2.16) of the sale price as its licensing fee. Retailers take a considerable chunk of the pie, with 22% (£13.2) of the shirt price accounting for their profit. The rest of the price(£34.26)  is gobbled up by VAT, distribution and marketing costs."

If some enterprising clubs banded together and approached a UK design House/manufacturer then I bet all could be to everyone's satisfaction.
Income for the Clubs, great gear for the fans, employment for the UK.
It won't happen though.

Cleethorpes shirts are much better quality than Town's and 13 quid cheaper. The badges are top notch.  Town's looks cheap.

When you’re not making as many I guess you can take more time and care with the quality…
