Band Shoppe is Proud to Partner With:
Free Swatches
Fabric swatches are an important tool to ensure that your uniforms and flags look just right! While Band Shoppe strives to represent colors as accurately as possible, colors and textures look quite different in person. That’s why we recommend requesting fabric swatches.
Choose from any fabrics listed on our website or catalog, including color guard, marching band, and flag fabrics. If you have specific colors in mind, speak with our Sales Team; they will be happy to make suggestions.
Style Options
DID YOU KNOW: You can substitute sleeve and pant styles on most of our custom uniforms! That means, if we show a unitard as a legging style, you can easily change it to a straight leg, jazz leg, or boy short. You can also shorten or lengthen skirts, and change necklines.
The options are nearly limitless! That’s why we created a handy guide to designing your next color guard uniform. You can download this guide free, including drawing templates and digital color suggestions.
Design Services
Let Band Shoppe design your next uniform! Our Sales and Design Teams can work with you to create the perfect custom design. Just give us a little bit of information including the show theme, color scheme, and budget range — and we do the rest.
Our always-free design services include sketches, so you can see what your uniform will look like before you buy.
Taking Measurements
If you are not exactly sure how to measure for a new uniform, taking your group’s measurement for those new uniforms can seem like a daunting task. Band Shoppe wants to take the stress out of this crucial step with your uniform purchase. We are excited to share this step-by-step uniform measurements instruction video that walks you through the entire process.
