CUSTOM

How it works

First of all, here's some information on the process and range:

https://lecolcustom.cc/pages/product-ranges
https://lecolcustom.cc/pages/how-it-works

We offer 3 ranges of custom kit: Club (regular fit), Elite (Slim) and Pro (Ultraslim)

We are able to custom design the following items:
Short Sleeve Jersey, Bib Shorts, Long Sleeve Jersey, Winter Jackets, Bib Tights, Speedsuits (short sleeve with pockets and long sleeve with race window), Arm/Knee/Leg Warmers, Race Mitts, Winter Gloves, Gilets, Rain jackets, Socks and Caps

There is a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 10 of each garment and we can supply samples on request. MOQ for Socks & Caps is 100pcs, and Aero Socks 30 pcs.

We understand the importance of the perfect fit whether it's for a charity ride or racing.

We currently offer sizes from XXS to 5XL. However, if necessary, we can supply 6XL and 7XL.

If you are supplying us with club logos or images, please submit them in .eps, .ai or pdf format. If you are providing a scanned file, this should be at least 300 dpi or in .tiff to be usable.

We offer in-house graphic design services at a small additional cost if required. The fee is £65+VAT which is waived if 20+ main garments are ordered.

If the above sounds like it might work for you, please submit your enquiry via https://lecolcustom.cc/ - you'll see the enquire now button in multiple places on the site, so that'll get your message directly through to the team for someone to follow up with you about your requirements.

Sizing

Please see the size guides on the individual product pages. If you have any questions regarding sizing in the first instance, please refer to your kitmaster. If your club has placed orders previously, your team members may have prior experience and can help guide you based on their experience of the fit/feel.

Our general Fit guide can be found below and is to be used for reference in conjunction with the individual size guides.

Need to make changes to your order?

Please note, Custom orders cannot be amended once they have been placed. If the Club shop window is still open, we will need to cancel the order and have you reorder with the correct item(s)/size(s). If the Club shop window has already closed, it may be too late for a manual change request to be made. Please contact your kitmaster for guidance in this instance.

If the order has already been submitted to our Factory for production, unfortunately, it is too late to make any further changes.

What happens next? 

Once the Club shop order window has closed, all orders are collated and then submitted to our Factory in Italy for production.

Typically there is an 8-12 week lead time from the point the full order is submitted, however this may vary depending on the time of the year.

Depending on how early in the order window you purchase, please note that this will effect the overall lead time.

Your kitmaster/event organiser will be able to update you on the expected turnaround time for the club's order and ETA for delivery.

If you have any questions regarding your purchase, these should be directed through to your kitmaster in the first instance, who will liaise with the Custom team on your behalf.

Delivery

Once your club's order has been received at our warehouse, it will go through a QA process before all orders are picked, packed and dispatched according to the delivery agreement between Le Col Custom and your club.

If your order is being dispatched directly to you from our warehouse, you'll receive a shipping confirmation once your order dispatches containing your tracking details.

Please note that international deliveries may be subject to Customs delays, which are beyond our control.

If you have any questions post-dispatch, please reach out to your kitmaster initially.

Returns/Exchanges

Due to the nature of Custom kit, we cannot facilitate returns or exchanges.

Please refer to your kitmaster if you have any further questions!

SIZING

How do I know which size to purchase?

You can find our size guides on individual product pages.

STRAVA

How do I participate in the Le Col Strava challenges?

Firstly, make sure you're a member of the Le Col club on Strava https://www.strava.com/clubs/88156 to be the first to hear about our upcoming and current challenges.

You'll be able to register to join the challenges as soon as they're announced and once you've completed the requirements of the challenge, you'll be able to redeem your £50GBP reward for your efforts!

Why aren't my activities counting towards the Strava challenge?

For us to recognise your efforts in the Strava challenge, you'll need to change your privacy settings for the individual rides to “everyone”.

Once you have done this you will see that your kms will log against the challenge and once you’ve completed it, you’ll be able to redeem your reward!

How do I apply my Strava code to my order?

For the Strava reward voucher to work, your total basket value must be over £100GBP.

To redeem your voucher, please checkout on your order - entering the code into the “Gift card or discount code” or "Please enter coupon code" box and hit apply - this will deduct £50 (or local currency equivalent) from the total order value.

Please note: Your Strava Code is for one time use only and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers that require a code.

If you're purchasing in a currency other than GBP and are getting an error message, please try to add an additional item to your basket as currency fluctuations may mean that the items in your basket don't quite meet the £100 GBP threshold for the voucher to work.

Please see the Strava terms and conditions here for more information.

How do I redeem my Strava challenge reward?

Well done on completing the latest Le Col Strava challenge!

Please claim your voucher via the Redeem Reward button on Strava or in the challenge completion email you receive. Your unique voucher code will be sent via email but you can also click through to the website and it will apply automatically for you.

Please contact us if you're having any issues!

What are the terms & conditions of the Strava challenges?

More information on the Strava voucher can be found here: https://lecol.cc/pages/strava-challenge-t-cs, but the most important bit is as follows:

Reward & Prize Information

  1. Reward: Each Finisher will receive a £50 Le Col discount voucher code. The £50 discount voucher requires a minimum order of £100 (so a minimum spend of £50 with the reward applied). If items purchased with the voucher are returned only the discounted price will be refunded. The unique discount code can only be used once per person. Only one discount voucher can be redeemed per single transaction. The offer excludes the purchase of gift cards and our custom kit. Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash. We reserve the right to withdraw, alter or decline this offer without prior notice.
  2. International Strava vouchers are subject to currency rate fluctuations and as such we cannot be held liable for discount codes under-indexing amount advertised in $ & €.

PAYMENT

Which payment methods are available?

We offer payments via debit/credit card, Paypal and Google Pay. Some international countries offer additional methods such as Klarna, Multibanco etc. The available payment methods for your location will appear at checkout.

All payments made via the Le Col website are encrypted using secure technology and your card details are not retained or visible to Le Col employees.

All orders will be charged for in the moment that the order is placed - including orders containing pre-order items.

Can I buy a gift voucher?

Shopping for someone else but not sure what to give them? Give them the gift of choice with a Le Col gift card.

We offer gift vouchers in the UK only - from the value of £10 up to £200 which can be purchased here: https://lecol.cc/products/gift-card?variant=617677488147

How do I apply a gift voucher to my order? (UK customers only)

If you've received a gift card, you'll need to enter the code as part or full payment towards your order. Paste the code into the "Gift card or discount code" box and hit apply. This will deduct the product value from your gift voucher. If your order value exceeds your gift voucher amount, you'll be required to complete payment for the remaining amount.

If you have misplaced your gift voucher code, please contact us and we'll resend the voucher to the original purchaser. If you are querying how much is remaining on a gift voucher, reach out to us and let us know who purchased the gift voucher for you and we'll be able to confirm.

If you return an order which has been paid for with a gift voucher, the relevant amount will be refunded back to the gift voucher when processed and can then be reused.

How do I apply a discount code to my order?

If you are using a discount code please enter it into the "Gift card or discount code" or "Please enter coupon code" box and hit apply.

The discount will automatically be calculated. Promotional codes are for one time use only and may not be used in separate orders or applied to different products. Multiple discount codes cannot be combined or stacked in a single order.

If you're using a Strava reward, please note there is a minimum spend of £100GBP required (before the discount is added) for this to work. If you're having trouble using a discount code, please check the expiry date and any conditions linked to it before you contact us.

Can you send me an invoice?

Yes of course we can! Please contact us with your order number and we'll provide any relevant invoices/receipts you require.
