Marshall Artist is the name of Paul's brand

and they started it in London in 2001. They quickly became one of the UK’s most loved menswear brands. They aimed to create modern tailoring for modern people, producing contemporary, relevant clothing that is wearable, but also showcases British eccentricity. After producing a few seasons of both knit and woven styles ranging from wind runners to board shorts they were ready to start producing for other brands in Vietnam.

Un Available management spends a lot of time and energy understanding and adapting to Vietnamese culture to constantly improve efficiency, lower costs and add value to their clothing manufacturing business. For example, in Vietnamese culture the junior staff are brought up to be submissive. They wait to be told what to do. At Un Available, the staff is trained to be pro-active and speak up regardless of age or position. To this day, the management focuses on hiring and training staff that is open to adapting to a western way of working. Un Available encourages staff to take ownership in the work they do. This is what makes them one of the best custom t shirt maker in Vietnam.

The cornerstone of the Un Available culture is responsibility. They have developed processes and systems that clearly define individual accountability. When one person has a particularly productive day they get kudos on the spot. If one staff is not pulling their weight then management pinpoints the problem and implements corrective action quickly. Every action in the manufacturing process is transparent; that transparency breeds accountability. This is how Un Available has overcome cultural differences and is the most reliable premium custom t shirt maker in Vietnam employing a western way of working from top management to factory floor staff.

Paul's Accountability Culture

From Un Available’s point of view as a brand they saw a gap in the market for small quantity full service apparel manufacturing. They identified the weakness of Vietnam being clear communication and ownership in design, development, sourcing and customer service. They became a custom t-shirt maker in Vietnam and committed to Vietnam when Vietnam was hungry for new business. They caught the wave early and successfully navigated the culture to become the best street wear fashion producer in Vietnam that can produce both knit and woven fashion garments with an MOQ of 250 pieces per style per color - under one roof. Their culture of accountability has lead to a momentum that will last for many years to come. Get a piece of the action in Vietnam by working with Un Available to produce your custom t shirts that can pass Japanese quality control standards and meet your tight deadlines.

Water Based Screen Printing in Vietnam

Get water based screen printing
Vietnam has more than 100 silk screening companies that use a variety of inks. Water Based inks being one of them. Paul is one custom t-shirt maker in Vietnam knows water based inks.

Water-based inks are not only a good alternative to plastisol inks but they serve their own unique purpose as well. Water-based inks are great for jobs where you might require a high end vintage look with a soft feel. As mentioned earlier, plastisol isn't a great choice for these jobs. Another quality of water-based ink systems is that they seep into the fabric of the material being printed on instead of hardening over the top. This has a semi-transparent look to it which is great for that worn in print look.

Some of the strengths of water-based inks can also be it's weaknesses. This type of ink is more expensive to buy than plastisol and it's usually tougher to use. It's definitely slightly less user-friendly. Because the ink seeps into the fabric it's more semi-transparent which makes it very hard to print on dark garments. For that same reason, layering also becomes an issue. I know a custom t-shirt maker in Vietnam that has solved this problem.
