Ok so a couple of season's ago our club kit was made by D&M. Probably the worst kit I've ever worn. ill fitting, poor quality stitching and generally has not worn well.

Now I realise making sure you're wearing the correct size is a basic start that not everyone gets right but I have rarely seen kit at club level which looks like it's well fitted, presentable and stands the test of a full season or two.

Generally I like upright collars, and minimal colouring in the kits. Something like these.

I'm keen to see which companies are used or recommended by forum members and can provide designs like these?

I think we can help.

We carry cricket clothing from all the leading brand names, but also have our own range that has been designed to give a smart tailored fit - not the baggy style you have referred to in your post. Please email me on vinay@vks.com and I'll be happy to discuss this further.

Thanks. Looks like the club may have chosen a supplier already

Any feedback on MKK anyone?

Decent kit but very white and very pricey! Definitely better options for cheaper - can't beat adidas IMO, first year we've had the kit and it's head and shoulders above all our previous whites

I've got the adidas kit and i'm not really impressed to be honest. It takes some getting clean!!

Kukri - avoid, hopeless suppliers and the kit didn't last overly well (frayed and falling apart after a season)

Masuri - kit is nice enough (but very white) but they were a pain in the backside. Quoted 3 weeks to get new kit to us, actually took 12.

We had that problem at Uni, all the kit turned up about 4 months late.

At our club we use Surridge whites and they're not too bad. My shirt and short sleeved jumper have lasted me two seasons

Our Club Kit is from Cicada, not sure about price but the shirt has held well after a good seasons use and weekly wash.

I have a standard MKK long sleeve white Shirt which seem to be of decent quality, nothing special. I think I paid �5 from rematch clearance.

My Surridge shirt is of a different class altogether but heavy if it is a very hot day.

In my experience Surridge were the best fit.

VKS might be a worth a go for next time but sadly I don't have a say in kit supplier at my club.

Ours took 18 months after a few false starts but they are trying to make amends now.

MKK is some of the best in the business but it is pricey so your members would have to be on board from the off as I imagine they'd be a big difference between them and D&M.

Cricket Haven delivered our kit when promised and at a great price. They allow you to put in the design yourself which is good as ours colours aren't usually stocked by most. It lasted a couple of seasons before it looked a bit ragged so you get what you pay for really. Surridge kit always looks good when I seem them

Thanks for the input guys, clearly what is considered good is a bit subjective. I prefer ivory but not overly fussed by white kit. Comfort and fit is highest priority.

I had no idea D&M were before it turned up and previously didn't care too much about kit because it was generally ok. But D&M were so poor that some of the guys who provide sponsorship (have their branding on the kit) and play for the club didn't wear the kit. So keen to get it right this time.

Adidas sounds interesting. How do they compare price wise to MKK (which I agree are pricey. Probably will only get essentials for the price of complete D&M kit)...? And I've done a quick search but can't seem to find adidas club kit site?

MKK do very nice quality shirts and we did have them in cream as opposed to white. We switched to Kukri as they had more design options and the kit looks great. Delivery time was ok. The shirt has worn well, the trousers less so. The service lately from Kukri, on training items with club badges and initials added (such as hoodies and polo shirts), has been appalling...I think they've become too big too quickly.

We have adidas via all rounder and it's great. The best thing is the consistency over the seasons. The design hasn't changed since we signed up a few years ago so everyone is now wearing the same
