About Us
Ben and Romie Gotts are prairie transplants with a passion for business, textiles and design. With respective degrees in Commerce and Fine Arts, they came to the Kootenays hoping to find work, and spend their free time skiing and biking.
As luck would have it, Bruce and Arlene Van Hellemond, the owners of Van Hellemond Sporte had over the past 44 years, built a legacy around textiles and printing here in the Kootenays. They were ready to enjoy a deserved retirement. In April 2017, VH Sporte shed its ‘E’, gained two fresh leaders, and a new chapter began for this long respected imprinting and customization company.
Since that first year, the company has learned an immeasurable amount and evolved. The team has grown, and continues to strive to be the best place for custom merch in the Kootenays.
VH Sport helps schools, businesses, athletic teams, non-profit organizations, and special events committees visualize and represent their identity and brand.
Whether you are looking a dozen hats for your business, or 1,000 t-shirts for you festival we are happy to help you turn your plan into reality.

From October–December, production times may be longer due to high seasonal volume.
From January–March and July–September, turnaround times are often shorter.
We are closed on all Stat Holidays.
If you place the extra order within 3 weeks of your original, we’ll only charge a $15 setup fee and give you the same volume discount you received on your first order.
After 3 weeks, the job will be re-quoted based on the new total volume.
Volume, complexity, and garment cost all affect the final price.
- The bigger the design → the more stitches → the higher the cost.
- First-time designs require a one-time $60 digitizing fee.
- If your file is already digitized, we charge $15 to load it into the machine.
We use top-of-the-line multi-headed industrial embroidery machines that can sew 6 garments at a time. Because of this, price breaks occur in multiples of 6—so think in dozens!
- Each colour requires its own screen, and each screen costs $30 to set up.
- Every print location (front, back, sleeve, etc.) needs a separate screen setup.

They have a slightly different sheen, but DTF prints are durable, long-lasting, and excellent for complex logos and small runs. Because all colours are printed at once using a digital print head, pricing is simpler, and the quality is fantastic.
