Your crew's workwear has to last — and it has to come back.

Workwear takes a beating. Jackets get torn, hoodies get covered in compound, hats end up in the truck. The crew burns through gear. New hires need uniforms in the size and brand the rest of the crew wears. None of this is your problem to solve in the back of a notebook.

We carry Carhartt, Berne, Dickies, and the rest of the workwear lineup when you need durable gear, plus Sport-Tek and Port Authority when you want lighter performance fits for warm-weather work. Embroidery for company names that should last. DTF for full-color crew logos and back graphics. Reorder as you hire — same brands, same colors, same decoration as the last run.

Common questions

Questions we hear about workwear for trades & contractors

What brands do you recommend for workwear?

It depends on the work. Heavy duty trades: Carhartt, Berne, Dickies. Mid-weight service and trades: Dickies, Red Kap, Sport-Tek. Warm-weather and performance: Port Authority, Nike, Bella+Canvas. We'll recommend a tier when we scope your crew.

Embroidery or DTF for our crew apparel?

Embroidery looks premium and lasts forever — great for company names on hats, polos, and outerwear. DTF gives you full-color graphics and works great on tees, hoodies, and hi-vis. Many crews use both: embroidered name on the chest, DTF graphic on the back.

Do you handle hi-vis and ANSI compliance?

Yes. We carry ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 hi-vis tees, hoodies, vests, and outerwear and can decorate them with your logo while maintaining compliance. Tell us the class when you scope the order.

Can you ship to job sites?

Yes. We ship to active job sites, your office, your shop, or individual employees. Many crews ship directly to the job site so the gear's there when the crew arrives.
