Custom Work Shirts

Thirteen trades, one shirt each, all printed to order. Custom work shirts with your name on the chest and your trade on the back — or your company logo on both, if you are kitting out a crew.

Shop by Trade

Each trade has its own listing rather than a generic template with the job title swapped out, because the details that matter differ by trade:

• Medical and emergency — nurse, first responder, firefighter. Unit, station number, shift, credentials after the name.
• Skilled trades — electrician, welder, plumber, mechanic, construction. License number, union local, years in the trade, specialization.
• Service and hospitality — chef, barber, hairstylist. Shop name, chair number, the line your regulars already quote back at you.
• On the road — truck driver, veteran. Route, rig, branch, years of service.

Crew and Company Orders

The most common order in this collection is not one shirt — it is eight to forty for a crew, which is why custom work shirts no minimum is a term people search before they search anything else. Most printers quote a twelve or twenty-four piece minimum and a setup fee on top. Here there is neither.

The usual layout for a crew: company name or logo small on the left chest, the same mark larger across the back, and each person's first name under the chest logo so the shirt doubles as identification on site. Send us the name list in whatever form you have it — a spreadsheet, a text message, a photograph of a sign-up sheet taped to the shop wall. We will lay out every shirt individually and send one proof covering the set.

Fifteen shirts or more takes 25% off, and you can mix trades, sizes and colors freely across that count. A crew of eighteen with four different job titles and sizes from S to 4XL still counts as eighteen.

What to Print, and Where

Work shirts get read at a distance and in bad light, which rules out a lot of design ideas that look fine on a screen.

• Left chest — logo, first name, or both stacked. Roughly credit-card sized, so one color and clean type. Fine script and logos with small text underneath do not survive at this scale.
• Full back — company name, phone number, trade, license number. This is the panel that functions as advertising on a job site, so bigger and simpler wins.
• Sleeve — a phone number, a union local, a year. Narrow, so short text only.

On color: Graphite, Granite, Espresso, Moss, Pepper and Black hide grease, dust and the general state of a working day. Ivory and White photograph beautifully and show every minute of it. Navy and Denim sit in between and are what most crews settle on.

Shirts People Actually Wear Off the Clock

There is a difference between a uniform and a shirt someone chooses to wear on a Sunday. The second one gets your company name in front of more people, and it costs the same to print. The trick is restraint: a small left-chest mark, no phone number, no slogan. Hairstylists, barbers, chefs and anyone client-facing tend to want this version — identification without looking like signage.

Name, Trade, License Number

Three pieces of information do almost all the work on a trade shirt, and the order they appear in changes who the shirt is for. Name first, trade underneath, reads as personal — it is a shirt about the person wearing it, which is what you want for a gift or for somebody proud of the work. Trade first, name underneath, reads as a service — it is a shirt about what you do, which is what you want on a job site where a homeowner is trying to work out who to talk to. A license or certification number is the detail most people leave off and the one that quietly does the most: it tells a customer you are the real thing before anyone has to ask.

For anyone client-facing, add a phone number only on the back. Putting it on the chest makes the shirt feel like a flyer, and the people who see your chest at close range are already talking to you.

Gifts and Milestones

Trade shirts are bought as gifts more than you would guess: apprentices finishing their program, a license number earned, twenty years at the same shop, a retirement. Printing the date and the number turns a shirt into a record. For veterans, branch and years of service with the name underneath is the layout that gets ordered most.

Fabric, Sizing and Terms

Soft ring-spun cotton in a classic unisex fit, fifteen colors, sizes S through 4XL on every listing — nobody gets told their size is unavailable. S through XL share one price, with a small step up for 2XL and above. Shipping is a flat $4.75 per order, free over $50, and orders land within 6 to 11 business days after you approve your proof. Every shirt is printed in the USA, and a free digital proof goes out before anything is printed.
