Letters on race vests

Muttley Mar 2019 6:57pm, 25 Mar 2019 366 posts	Quote Pin Muttley I have an old singlet that I use for (running) races. I would like to display a race name, 4 nice big letters, on it. What is the best way to do this? Where can I find suitable letters? The singlet is coolmax or other similar technical fabric so I'm guessing that iron-on won't work. Fabric glue perhaps? I'm a single bloke who can't sew but I can probably find someone who can. Ta in advance for info.

I got some for about £5 and have about 10 sets of my name in glittery black! (I only needed one) You do have to be careful ironing onto tech fabric, but it does work, and mine has been washed without problem.

Sets of letters (you can specify your choice of letters) are quite cheap on Amazon. I did VP's Fetch tops recently and it worked fine.
