Two hundred polos go out and a hundred and fifty get worn, because the other fifty went to people who do not wear polos. Good merch starts with the people, not the logo.
Choose the garment for the wearer
- Polos: the office standard, smart enough for client meetings. Embroider the logo.
- T-shirts: the most worn, for offsites, launches and everyday.
- Hoodies and sweatshirts: the most kept. People wear a good hoodie for years.
- Jackets: for teams on the move or in the field.
If your team is mixed, offer a choice of two garments rather than one for everyone.
Get the sizes right
Collect sizes from each person rather than guessing a spread. A size chart with chest and length measured flat avoids most returns. We make nine sizes, XS to 5XL, so nobody is left out.
Colours people wear
Navy, black, grey and off-white get worn far more than bright brand colours. Use your brand colour in the details instead: a contrast collar, tipping on a polo, or the logo itself. If you want the body in your exact brand colour, we dye it to your Pantone; that starts at one roll of cloth, about 50 polos or 75 tees.
Logo placement
A small left chest logo is the one people wear outside work. A large back print turns a shirt into something worn only when required.
Order a sample first
One piece is a real order on most of our range, so approve a sample before the run.
Start with your logo, or build a polo yourself.
