Product & Service Policies
Custom apparel, Top-notch service, Affordable pricing
 We strive to provide the best custom cycling jerseys and accessoriespossible every step of the process. Carvalho is one of
the best companies we have ever worked with and provides professional
quality clothing at affordable prices. Your cycling clothing
can be as custom as you wish; we accept designs and high-resolution
artwork in a variety of formats, as well as offer design templates to
help you get started.
You tell us what you need and we’ll
work with you every step of the way to ensure the kit you envision
is the kit you order! Moreover, our sizing system let’s
men and women, tall and short, stocky and thin each find the  right
size for them. We produce ladies specific
sizing and non-bib shorts, as well as a FULL RANGE of TRIATHALON
CLOTHING, and even Motocross clothing. Moreover, should
you need specific tailoring, please contact
us, as many
requests can be made at NO EXTRA CHARGE. In addition, for
a small fee, we can individualize kit with specific logo’s
or names; click for a design
template.
Up-front pricing with no hidden fees
We believe we offer some of the most competitive pricing in
the industry. Unlike many other companies, who hide their
set-up fees and tack on lots of extra charges, including Fed-Ex
domestic shipping*, our pricing is all up-front. You
pay a one-time design fee at start-up and then our base prices
for each item. You can also Compare our Prices with
our competitors; note the additional charges many companies charge.
*Expedited orders may incur additional international shipping
charges. We CANNOT guarantee shipping times, however.
No minimums
We regularly accept small orders, and have no qualms
about making less than 5 cycling jerseys, or other clothing pieces; in
fact, you pay the same for 5 jerseys as you do 15! While ordering
fewer than 5 pieces incurs a surcharge of 30%, many teams find the
flexibility of being able to order just a few choice items worth the
extra cost. In addition, individual triathletes find this option
appealing for their triathlon clothing needs.
More than just cycling kit
By working closely with one of Portugal’s largest clothing
producers, we are able to offer bib and non-bib shorts*, a full product range of casual
wear to cyclists and triathletes, as well as sports apparel to
speed skating, track & field and motocross racers. If
you do not see an item on our list, contact us!
The latest in clothing technology
Our clothing uses high-tech fabrics tested under
racing conditions, such as VTMicroTM jerseys,
NEWTECTM jersey liners, DRYSTORM outer shells,
the latest chamois, and our hottest seller, the
perforated NBA fabric; possibly the coolest jersey out there! Moreover,
our kit is made to last; while we do not recommend frequent
machine drying, you need not fear the occasional high temperature
drying! If you would prefer to review our quality prior to
ordering, please complete our Sample Request and
fax it back to us. All you pay is shipping, which you will get back should you order!
PLEASE NOTE – You may only request up to THREE SAMPLES of
our size choice. Sizing samples are only sent following deposit. Let’s get started!
 Once you’re ready to order, please contact us and
tell us what you need, including pieces and quantities, whether
you have logos, when you need it by and if you would like to
see samples. The more information you provide us up front,
the faster and easier it will be for us to get you started! Once
we receive your 50% deposit and designs/artwork you may request

4 weeks for production. You may also speed up the process
