Why JL Racing Is the Trusted Choice for Team Uniforms in the UK

Most suppliers rely on fixed stock sizing designed to be “close enough.” In real line-ups, that does not work. Two athletes may wear the same size yet have completely different torso lengths, inseams, or proportions. A single pattern cannot solve that, and athletes are forced to choose the “closest fit,” which compromises comfort and performance. 

JL solves that problem with an on-demand sizing system we’ve refined over decades, giving every athlete access to a tailored fit no other supplier can match. We offer mixed sizing in many unisuits and optional length adjustments on a majority of custom products, so every athlete can move comfortably through the stroke without restriction. 

When athletes feel good in their gear, they perform better.  And when the whole roster matches cleanly, the team looks sharper on race day. 

One of the most frustrating issues for coaches and managers is when reorders come back in a different shade or print than the original. With many suppliers, colour drift is common because they outsource production or rely on lower-grade printing methods. 

JL’s family-owned manufacturing gives us unprecedented oversight into your team’s colour profiles, ensuring consistent results year after year. We maintain dedicated profiles for each team and preserve those settings season after season, reducing shade variance. 

Your team kit remains true, whether you're reordering two pieces or fifty. 

JL does not compromise on textiles. We prioritise bluesign-approved materials, partner with mills moving toward low-to-no PFAS chemistry, and rely on fabrics refined over 45 years in real racing conditions. Every material is selected for durability, stretch recovery, colour stability, and comfort. 

Many suppliers choose cheaper fabrics to protect their margins. JL invests in fabrics that protect your athletes. 

Durability is one of JL’s strongest reputational anchors. Coaches often send us photos of JL kit that has lasted decades. Our construction is engineered for heavy mileage — thousands of strokes, friction, and constant wear. 

Every JL all-in-one and trou includes a reinforced double seat and methods that maintain shape year after year. 

JL’s craftsmanship has been trusted on the sport’s biggest stages, including as the performance-gear partner behind the Chanel J12 Boat Race with Oxford and Cambridge and by national teams across the world.
