Windbreaker Jackets South Africa
A windbreaker Jacket is an item that should be in everyone’s cupboard. I use mine to walk my dogs or when I go for a run or walk, like to have one with me, just in case. So even in good weather, it is a good idea to take a windbreaker with you just in case it gets cold or starts to rain.
You know those times when you think, “should I take a jacket or not?”. Also a windbreaker jacket is light, so is fine to carry or to tie around your waist.
Our best seller and one that we have 1000’s of units of stock of is the US Basic Miami Windbreaker Jacket, CODE BAS-819.
Miami Unisex Jacket BAS-819
This is our cheapest jacket and a great budget beater is you are looking for lightweight rain jacket for your staff.
Lightweight Down Jackets
A High End jacket option that is also a great seller and that we have large stockholding of is the Elevate Scotia Light Down Jacket (Men’s ELE-5610 & Women’s ELE-5611)
Down jackets are high fashion at the moment and we have a great option added to our range for those companies who want to add a little fashion to their corporate image.
Our Scotia Down Jacket is a lightweight jacket which makes it easy to fold up and carry around, but it is also insluated and very warm. And as of March 2017 this is also available in a down bodywarmer!

Matric Jackets
Matric jackets are a big think in South Africa. Every matric wants a jacket with their school name embroidery saying matric and the year. A scholar, or now called learner in South Africa, loves to celebrate their time at school, and more so their last year of school. This includes having a jacket that celebrates that this is their matric year.
For something a little more trendy, why not try a cool branded hoodie? We have a cool selection of matric jackets and hoodies for you to choose from.
I would start off with any of our brand names like the Slazenger or US BASIC. These are super cool and long lasting, ask us!
We do all the branding for you too.
Matric Jacket Designs
If you are looking for a matric jacket, you could think, well where do we start?
Hellooo, budget is a good idea. Often when we ask clients what their budgets are, they don’t want to tell us, but giving a minimum and maximum budget is a really good idea as it gives us a starting point and we can focus on jackets that would suit you.
Then we would put a selection of jackets together for you to choose from.
This makes it easier for you. Rather choose from 3 to 5 jackets, than from 40 jackets because that is just confusing.
For your matric designs, you can choose something you have seen or even an image and our designer will then convert it to a high resolution logo for you.
Matric Jackets Quotes
- For quotes for matric jackets, we could quote you on 3 different options.

Corporate Clothing Branding
What type of branding is best for corporate clothing? In this case, specifically jackets?
Well, we tend to recommend embroidery where the item is fancier or more expensive, so a jacket would usually be a perfect item to get embroidered with your logo instead of having the jackets printed.
Embroidery on Jackets
How does the pricing work for embroidery on jackets?
The price of the embroidery depends on the thread count. So if the logo takes 4000 stitches, that will cost more than a logo that just takes 1000 stitches.
Screen Printing on Jackets
For screenprinting, the cost of the print depends on how many colours in the logo. So a one colour print is always recommended before a 5 colour, even for the reason only of price.
A print is usually the type of branding done on a tshirt.
Engraving on Jackets
We also have a brand new method to brand some of our jackets; laser engraving. This is a subtle, tone-on-tone branding method that modern and very stylish.
Because engraving is so intricate, this method results in very detailed logos and images that can be branded like never before. And we can also do engraving over zips and seams!
For more on this new clothing branding method, contact us.
Corporate Jackets
When you think of corporate jackets, do you imagine something smart, or something to keep you warm? Whichever, way, we have the more formal jackets and then also the really heavy jackets, like our 3-in-1 jackets.
Some clients might prefer a jacket that can do both; something that is suitable for the office and also a great option for casual wear. One of our top sellers; the Cromwell Softshell is very popular specifically for that purpose.
Because this is a smart looking soft shell fabric jacket it is great for business. This jacket also does not have a hood, it has a more formal looking collar.
3 in 1 Jackets
3 in 1 jackets will always be popular in South Africa because of their versatility. These jackets are usually a hardy outer coat for with a zip-out inner fleece lining.
It can be worn as a thick winter coat combination with the outer and inner together. Optionally the lining can be zipped out and worn as a separate fleece jacket, or you can wear the outer jacket alone, as a windbreaker jacket.
This is truly the ultimate winter jacket!
We have a few jacket options in this style.
One of our best seller is the Barron 3-in-1 Jacket. This jacket is available in a mens and ladies styles and there are 5 different colour combinations to choose from.
Bodywarmer Jackets
Bodywarmers are trendy, sleeveless jackets that are very popular because they can be worn year-round. Without the sleeves, these jackets are perfect to keep your body warm, but still be cool if needed.
We have a few bodywarmer options that are all very trendy and great for staff uniforms. We have even had two of these options branded for our own staff uniforms here at Brand Innovation.
Or personal favourite has been the new Slazenger Evolution Bodywarmer:
The Slazenger Evolution is a padded jacket style bodywarmer. We also have other styles like fleece, down and softshell options.
