Custom Work Shirts with Your Logo, Made at Factory Scale

A custom work shirt is a standard, proven shirt platform — your fabric choice, your colour, your logo, your size chart and your packaging — produced at a program scale where the unit economics actually reward customisation. Below is exactly how a custom shirt order is specified, so you can price your program before you ever send an inquiry.

Step 1 — Choose the base and fabric

Start from the two shirt platforms on the work shirts page (long-sleeve SHIRT-01, short-sleeve SHIRT-02) or the polo bases in the same fabric library (knit tee bases are quoted as development items against your specification). Fabric choices: TC 65/35 at the crisp end, CVC where a cotton-rich hand matters, weights 100–200 GSM by climate. If your crews work hot, the fabric guide explains the Cool Cotton option honestly — including where it is not the right choice.

Step 2 — Fix the logo method

Three methods are in production:

• Embroidery — the default for workwear. A stitched mark has no ink film to crack or peel through repeated industrial washing; best for chest logos and names. Cost scales with stitch count.
• Screen print — economical for large back designs and simple one- or two-colour marks on lighter shirts.
• Heat transfer — for fine detail and photographic marks, and for small runs of a design within a big order.

The wash-by-wash comparison is in embroidery vs printing for workwear logos. Send your artwork with the inquiry; placement and scale are checked on the physical sample before any bulk is sewn.

Step 3 — Colours, sizes and details

Custom colours are dyed to your reference (swatch or Pantone) and locked as the program standard for reorders. Size charts can follow our graded run or yours; the sizing guide shows the measurements we need to adopt a buyer's chart without fit surprises. Collars, cuffs, placket buttons, pen pockets and epaulettes are all specifiable details — list them in the inquiry rather than discovering them at sample stage.

Step 4 — Packaging and delivery

Private-label neck labels, individual polybags, hang tags and carton marks are part of the custom program (see also custom workwear for full-range programs and corporate workwear for multi-site rollouts). Timelines: samples in 7 days from a confirmed specification, bulk in 35 days (China) or 90–120 days (Myanmar) plus freight. Minimums are confirmed per style at quotation; at program volumes the embroidery setup and dye-lot costs spread to a per-shirt figure your program can defend.

Two specification patterns that recur

Custom shirt programs generally follow one of two patterns, and naming yours speeds up the quotation. The fleet pattern: one shirt platform, one colour, chest embroidery only, broad size run, price-optimised — typical for logistics, facilities and distribution buyers clothing several hundred wearers. The identity pattern: two colours by role (supervisors distinguished), chest and sleeve embroidery, buyer size chart, private-label packaging — typical for service brands whose uniform is part of the customer experience. Both run on per-style minimums confirmed at quotation and the same 7-day sample window; the identity pattern simply carries more setup, which the sample stage exists to lock down.
