Ordering custom work jackets for a company is part wardrobe decision and part branding project, and getting both right takes a little planning. You have to choose a jacket style that fits the job, pick a decoration method that survives the work site, place the logo where it actually gets seen, and size a whole crew without endless reorders. This guide walks through each step so your branded work jackets look sharp, hold up to daily wear, and arrive ready to issue, whether you need a dozen or a few hundred.

Why go custom instead of buying plain jackets?

Plain jackets from a big-box store work for one person, but they fall short for a crew. Everyone shows up in slightly different colors and styles, so the team looks thrown together rather than professional. There’s no logo, so you lose free brand exposure on every job site. And mismatched gear makes it harder to spot your own people on a busy site. Custom work jackets solve all three: a consistent look, your logo on display, and instantly recognizable crew gear that doubles as advertising.

Decoration methods: embroidery vs screen print vs patch

How you put your logo on the jacket affects cost, durability, and look. Here’s how the three main methods compare.

For most companies, an embroidered left-chest logo plus an optional screen-printed back logo is the winning combination: professional up close and visible across a site. Not sure which jacket style to brand? Our work jacket types guide breaks down softshell, insulated, and hi-vis.

Where to put your logo

Placement decides how much your branding actually gets seen on the job:

Left chest

The standard spot for an embroidered company logo, sometimes paired with an employee name on the right chest. Reads as professional and uniform.

Full back

A large screen-printed or patch logo on the back is your billboard, visible from across a site or parking lot. Keep it simple and high-contrast.

Sleeve and collar

A small sleeve logo or collar tag adds polish and is great for a secondary mark, certification, or crew identifier.

Sizing a whole crew

Sizing is where bulk orders go wrong, so plan it early. Collect everyone’s size before you order rather than guessing, build in a few extra jackets in common sizes for new hires, and remember work jackets are often worn over layers, so many crews size up half a step. We can supply a size kit or chart so people pick confidently the first time and you avoid costly reorders.

Ordering in bulk: pricing by quantity

Custom work jackets get noticeably cheaper per unit as the order grows, because setup costs for embroidery and print spread across more pieces. That’s why companies tend to order in batches and keep a few spares on hand. Here’s how unit cost typically scales:

If you’re outfitting a full crew, get an exact figure rather than guessing. You can request a bulk quote and we’ll price it to your jacket style, decoration, quantity, and timeline.

Who orders custom work jackets?

• Construction & trades companies—branded, durable jackets that hold up on site.
• Utilities & roadwork crews—hi-vis jackets with embroidered logos for safety and branding.
• Landscaping & field service teams—softshells that look sharp at every customer visit.
• Facilities & logistics staff—consistent, easy-to-spot crew gear.

Frequently asked questions

How much do custom work jackets cost?

It depends on jacket style, decoration method, and quantity. Softshells cost less than insulated or hi-vis jackets, and embroidery and print setup spreads across the order, so per-jacket price drops significantly with volume. Request a quote for your exact numbers.

Is embroidery or screen print better for work jackets?

Embroidery is more durable and premium, ideal for chest logos and names. Screen print is better for large, colorful back logos. Many companies use both, embroidery on the chest and a printed logo on the back.

Can I get custom work jackets with my company logo?

Yes. You can add an embroidered or printed logo, employee names, and a back design, then preview the layout before ordering. That’s exactly what the builder is for.

Can I order custom work jackets in bulk with different sizes?

Absolutely. You can order a full size run for the crew while keeping one consistent style, logo, and layout. Collect sizes up front and add a few spares in common sizes for new hires.
