Shirts, flags, caps and other mementos of sporting endeavor look great framed. The challenge is to mount them without damaging them.
LION’s unique Sport Shirt Framing System makes mounting a sports shirt ready to frame quick and easy.
Tiny plastic T-tags can be inserted through the seams of clothing and other inconspicuous areas to anchor into a foam centered support board. Take care with fine or close weave fabrics.
For low value, replaceable items you can use high tack Tapestry Tape to hold folded sleeves in place at the back.

A T-tag Gun will be used to fix the shirt in place. This method is compact, hiding the collar, sleeves and hem of the shirt.
Measure the shirt and cut a window mount. Using a pre-made template from the Gunnar CMC is the best approach.
Place the window mount on top of the shirt. Measure and cut foamboard to allow wrapping of around 50mm of each side to the back.
Lay the shirt face down and centre the foamboard on top.
Fold the collar down and fit in the centre. Fold the hem up at the bottom and fit in place with the T-tag Gun.
Fold the sleeves and sides in, fixing in place with light tension.
Once happy with positioning work your way around the shirt, checking for unevenness and wrinkles.
Lay the shirt onto an undermount and fit strips of 10mm wide foamboard to fix it in place.
Fit the window mount on top and position into a deep rebate frame.
Finish the frame usual.
The LION Sports Shirt Framing System is for when you don't want to fit anything to the shirt or want to see the entire shirt.
Measure the shirt and create a template from the foamboard that will fill the body of the shirt.
Cut the shirt template out of the foam board and fit it to the shirt support with tape.
Slide the support into the shirt.
Bond a pierce of mountboard in an appropriate colour to a piece of foamboard, sized to fit the finished frame.
Work out where to position the shirt and mark out the location of the fixing post.
Pierce a hole with a bradawl then screw the fixing post in place.
Cut the excess thread off the screw then attach the shirt support to the fixing post.
For the sleeves, use foamboard to give them shape then fix in place with a T-tag gun.
Now it's ready to go into a deep rebate frame with spacer. Finish as usual.
