jopa teamwear entirely produced in the netherlands Jopa is for many years known for their MX brand ‘Jopa MX’. What most people don’t know is that this clothing is completely produced in the Netherlands, creating a lot of possibilities for teamwear. We travel to Enter, a little village in the east of the Netherlands, where in 1983 a new company was founded with passion.. Jopa, a name that comes from the first two letters of the first- and sur-name of the owner Johan Paus, founds his company in the garage that is attached to his house in 1983. By importing small and starting brand such as Sidi, he was able to create a dealer network throughout the country. Johan himself was also a motocross rider and quickly saw a growing market in motocross clothing. Therefore he started the production of his own clothing. The bright and cool colors were a big hit back in the days, which helped Jopa gain market. The brand still exists today and is working hard to re-life the old days. In the meantime Jopa has grown steadily and is now housed in a 6000square meter building, just 2 kilometers from the old garage, where Jopa also functions as wholesaler of the brands Sidi, Airoh and Furygan. The building also houses the production facilities of the MX brand and Jopa Teamwear. We speak with Ryan, responsible for customer-service and the production, about how the Jopa MX and teamwear facility works. “Teamwear customers come here through various ways. Most of the orders come through our representatives, our website or through our steady customer base. We have a large network of clients that come back every year to get their hands on the new collection. They like to have an update of their own jersey or they prefer something completely new. The collection we develop here in-house is created with our own branding-style combined with the latest trends in the market. We also look at what has sold well before or what teams like to wear. It

may happen that none of the colors we offer appeals to the team; Then we can easily adjust it! We can also design a completely custom design to the requirements of our customer. This does not stop by making a custom jersey design, which is the case at many other brands, but we can also add custom pants and jackets if required. If a team wants, we also deliver it’s team wear or free time clothing, flags and banners, the possibilities are enormous.” Marco, once also an active motocross rider, makes all the designs for the clients. “We create the designs as best-fit to the customer needs and taste. They need to feel comfortable wearing it. We have clients coming regularly to our studio, so we can create the design easily and quickly together. The best part is that we design for both teams and individual riders, creating a lot of variation in needs. I can honestly say that its really rare that we cannot help a customer. Many teams struggle with the fact that they are stuck to the mass-produced pants of the big brands. It’s not rare to see a team wearing a jersey that mismatches their pants, which I personally think is sad. That makes us different; We can make that matching gear, we can adjust pants, jackets..., anything! And we’re not stuck to big quantities, we even can produce one-piece only if needed.” “That brings me to another advantage!” Says Ryan. “It gives us the possibility to deliver an additional pant, jacket or jersey afterwards, a problem many BMX clubs struggled with. We not only produce MX, but also BMX gear. BMX clubs love our advantage; They regularly get a new member who needs a club-outfit quickly.”

The studio of Jopa

It has been told shortly, but Jopa also develops its own collection, how does that work? “We primarily look towards the color-use and the styles of the moment” Says Marco. “Like everyone in Europe, we look at the USA, where Motocross is at its best. But logically we also look at our own markets, the Netherlands and Germany, where most of our riders go ride every weekend.” “Due our production is literally around the corner, and not in the Middle East, we can start relatively late with the development of our gear for next year. This gives us the possibility to spot the latest trends and create unique styles, an advantage no one has. Many brands determine their collection for next year before the current collection is even in the shops. That’s also an advantage for our customers; They don’t need to pre-order at the moment the current collection needs to be sold, not knowing if it will sell well or not. Once the season is half-way, we start with our development. We do plan big things ahead, but most of it is done in a short time-span. This is our big advantage as small organization and we’d like to use it as much as possible. Each year we improve and add products on different levels, keeping up with the competition.”

The heat-press

“Once the collection is ready, we produce it and we make photos in our own photostudio! Yes,” Ryan laughs”, we have that in-house too! We also produce in short notice our own catalog and do a photoshoot on the track. We have all qualities and facilities here at Jopa, helping us to do things fast.”

Jopa Sponsored rider Kevin Spanninga

If something appear to be wrong in the print, we can adjust it directly before we have a finished product. This helps us preventing from any failures but also a longer delivery time for our customer.” “In the mean time we cut the patterns out of the fabric. The pattern differs with each product, just like the fabric itself. We collect all pieces for the needed product, of which a part goes to the printing office.” “After printing, we put the pieces of fabric on the prints. The large paper roll will go straight into a heat-press with the fabrics placed on it. The heat ‘presses’ the color into the fabric. This process is called sublimation, what means that the color is really in the fabric, and does not lays on the fabric. This helps our colors to remain bright, even after time. The color does not peel off.” “The fabric with print is ready, but we don’t have a finished product yet. All pieces need to be put together still. We do this in our own studio, where a few ladies put the pieces together to create an high quality pants. They ensure the product matches all our quality standards. For example, our MX-pants are triple stitched and we use a high quality Kevlar for our pants. It’s not without means half of the teams in the World Championship Sidecar Motocross racing are riding with our gear.” “Once all products are finished, we send it to our customer who can be sure of a top-notch product. Depending on the time and amount of orders, we can deliver mostly within 3 weeks.” “It’s actually a really simple process which we can perform quickly,” says Ryan. “We can offer our clients everything they want, something we are very proud of.”
