VS Wear designs and manufactures custom field hockey dresses for Australian clubs, schools and representative squads. Cut from lightweight technical fabric, each dress is built to move with the short sprints, low defensive stances and quick direction changes hockey demands, and finished in fully sublimated club colours that stay sharp all season. The performance features behind that are set out below.
Dresses are factory-direct, giving your club 30 to 40% savings on premium quality, with unlimited design revisions before manufacturing begins and no compromise on fabric or construction. We are Australian owned with local service and support throughout the process.
Field hockey combines short sprints, low defensive positions and sudden changes of direction, so a dress needs to move with those actions rather than restrict them.
The built-in shorts give players secure coverage low to the ground, so diving to block a shot or dropping into a defensive crouch is never a coverage worry. High-impact zones are reinforced too, standing up to the sliding, tackling and turf contact hockey involves across a full season.
Defensive positions in particular spend a lot of time low to the ground, whether that is blocking a shot, sweeping the ball away or simply defending in a crouched stance for extended periods. A dress that was not designed with this in mind quickly becomes a genuine coverage concern, which is exactly the gap built-in shorts are designed to close without adding bulk or restricting movement.
Advanced moisture management is built into the fabric itself rather than relying on a loose fit for ventilation, which matters given how much of the Australian field hockey season is played in warm weather. Players stay comfortable through longer matches and tournament weekends without the dress feeling heavy or clinging with sweat by the second half.

Sublimated team colours resist fading through countless washes and matches, and custom length options suit different playing positions and preferences rather than forcing every player into the same cut.
Strategic ventilation panels enhance airflow where players need it most, an important detail given how much running and sustained effort the sport demands. Custom length options mean a defender who wants extra coverage for diving saves and an attacking player who prefers a shorter, more athletic cut can both be accommodated within the same overall club design.
Rather than forcing every player into one fixed length regardless of position or personal preference, we treat length as a genuine design variable within the club's overall colours and branding. This means a squad can agree on a shared identity through colours, logos and panel design while individual players still get a length that suits how they play. Club colours are matched from your existing kit or a Pantone reference, so a dress ordered this season still lines up with jerseys, skirts and warm-up wear ordered earlier.
Coverage that holds through tackles, dives and low defensive work.

Our field hockey dresses are sized to suit junior development programs, community clubs and representative squads at state level, with a minimum order of 20 units per design.
The fabric wicks sweat and dries fast, which matters across a season played largely in warm weather, so a dress does not feel heavy by the second half. Design is free with unlimited revisions before manufacturing, so the mock-up lands exactly where your club wants it.
Manufacturing factory-direct is what makes the 30 to 40% saving possible without dropping fabric or construction quality. Turnaround is a guaranteed 3 to 4 weeks from artwork approval, and with your design held on file, topping up dresses for a growing squad later in the season stays simple.

We serve junior development programs, community clubs and representative squads at state level, adjusting the level of design detail and finish to suit the competition your club plays at.
A junior development squad and a state representative program expect different things from a uniform, but both need consistent sizing, accurate club colours and a garment that lasts a full season of matches and training. We build to that standard for clubs and schools at every level, whatever the size of the run. Goalkeepers and outfield players can also be sized and cut differently within the one design where a squad needs it.
Community clubs in particular often need a uniform that works equally well for a wide range of playing standards within the one team, from social players to more competitive members. Building genuine performance features into every dress, rather than reserving them for a premium representative tier, means every club gets the same quality regardless of the level they compete at.
Whether your club has an existing relationship with VS Wear through other uniforms or is ordering with us for the first time, the same design process and guarantees apply. We keep your approved colours and artwork on file once a design is finalised, which makes future orders across other garments in your kit considerably more straightforward.
