Custom Jackets & Outerwear

A company jacket isn't just something employees throw on when it gets cold.

It's often the most visible piece of branded apparel your team owns.

Whether someone's walking into a client meeting, setting up at a trade show, working outdoors, or grabbing coffee on the way to the office, a great jacket represents your brand long after the workday ends.

The challenge?

Not every jacket is built for the same job.

Some are designed for construction crews. Others are made for executives, golfers, event staff, or employees who simply need a lightweight layer throughout the day.

At Logo Unlimited, every project is reviewed by our in-house production team before decoration begins. We take the time to understand how your outerwear will actually be used before recommending the right garment, the right branding method, and the right finishing details.

Because the best company jacket isn't always the most expensive one.

It's the one people actually want to wear.

Which Jacket Is Right For Your Team?

Outerwear isn't one-size-fits-all.

The environment your team works in often determines the best option.

Soft Shell Jackets

One of the most versatile options available.

Soft shell jackets provide lightweight warmth while remaining comfortable enough for everyday wear.

Perfect for:
Sales teams Company uniforms Trade shows Golf tournaments Everyday office wear Customer-facing employees

Fleece Jackets

Looking for comfort?

Fleece jackets provide warmth without unnecessary bulk, making them perfect for cooler offices, travel, and casual company apparel.

They're often one of the most popular additions to employee onboarding kits because they're something people continue wearing long after their first day.

Best for:
Employee onboarding Company stores Corporate gifts Office environments

Insulated Jackets

When warmth is the priority, insulated jackets provide excellent protection while maintaining a clean professional appearance.

Ideal for:
Outdoor crews Winter events Construction companies Field technicians Utility teams

Rain Jackets

Weather doesn't stop the job.

Rain jackets keep employees comfortable while maintaining a professional appearance during outdoor work, events, and travel.

Great for:
Event staff Sales professionals Field crews Hospitality Outdoor events

Vests

Sometimes sleeves just get in the way.

Branded vests provide warmth while allowing complete freedom of movement, making them incredibly popular with warehouse staff, installers, golfers, and customer-facing employees.

They're also one of the easiest garments to layer over polos and woven shirts.

Planning For Every Season

One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is trying to find one jacket that works all year.

The reality is that different seasons call for different outerwear.

Lightweight soft shells are perfect for spring mornings, customer visits, and everyday office wear. Fleece jackets provide warmth without unnecessary bulk, making them ideal for cooler weather and travel. Insulated jackets become the better choice for outdoor crews working through winter, while waterproof rain jackets help teams stay comfortable when conditions become unpredictable.

Many businesses build seasonal outerwear programs rather than relying on one jacket for every situation.

The result is apparel that's more comfortable, more practical, and far more likely to be worn throughout the year.

Choosing The Right Brand

The logo matters.

The decoration matters.

But the jacket itself has just as much influence on how your brand is perceived.

The North Face

When people think premium outerwear, this is usually the first name that comes to mind.

Perfect for executive gifts, premium company stores, and organizations looking to create apparel employees genuinely get excited about.

Best for:
Executive apparel Premium company stores Client gifts Leadership teams

TravisMathew

Modern.

Clean.

Retail-inspired.

TravisMathew blends business apparel with everyday lifestyle clothing, making it one of our favorite recommendations for customer-facing teams, golf tournaments, and premium company apparel.

Carhartt

Built to work.

Carhartt remains the gold standard for construction companies, industrial businesses, manufacturing, and outdoor crews who need apparel that's as tough as the work they do.

Port Authority

One of the most versatile outerwear brands available.

Reliable quality, outstanding value, and styles suited to almost every industry make Port Authority a popular choice for company-wide uniform programs.

OGIO

Looking for something more contemporary?

OGIO combines modern styling with technical performance, making it a favorite for sales teams, technology companies, and professionals who spend time traveling between meetings.

Sport-Tek

For active teams and performance apparel, Sport-Tek offers lightweight, athletic-inspired jackets that balance comfort, flexibility, and affordability.

Choosing The Right Decoration Method

Adding your logo is only part of the equation.

The decoration method should complement the garment, not compete with it.

One thing many customers don't realize is that different jacket materials respond differently to different decoration methods.

Soft shell jackets, fleece, insulated outerwear, waterproof shells, and performance fabrics all behave differently during production. A decoration method that looks fantastic on one garment may not create the same result on another.

That's why every project is reviewed by our in-house production team before production begins. We help match the right branding method to the right jacket so your finished apparel looks great, performs well, and lasts for years.

Premium Embroidery

For jackets, embroidery is almost always our first recommendation.

It creates a clean, durable finish that holds up exceptionally well while maintaining the premium appearance most businesses are looking for.

Perfect for:
Corporate uniforms Executive apparel Customer-facing teams Company stores Employee onboarding

3D Embroidery

Want your logo to stand out a little more?

Three-dimensional embroidery adds subtle depth without sacrificing professionalism, particularly on structured jackets, fleece, and outerwear.

Patches

Leather patches.

Woven patches.

Rubber patches.

These techniques create a premium retail-inspired look that's become increasingly popular for company stores, lifestyle brands, and executive apparel.

When used on the right garment, patches create apparel that feels less like a uniform and more like something someone would choose to wear on the weekend.

Choosing the right decoration method isn't just about appearance—it's about how the garment is constructed.

Some jackets perform best with premium embroidery, while others are better suited to woven patches, leather patches, or specialty branding techniques. Our production team recommends the combination that delivers the best long-term result based on your jacket, your logo, and how the garment will actually be used.

Logo Placement Matters

Most people immediately think about the logo.

Few think about where it should go.

A left-chest logo creates a timeless professional appearance that's ideal for everyday uniforms.

A sleeve logo offers subtle branding without overwhelming the garment.

Back embroidery works well for event staff and larger teams where visibility matters.

The best placement depends entirely on how the jacket will be used.

Building a Complete Outerwear Program

One jacket rarely solves every problem.

The strongest outerwear programs are planned around how employees work throughout the year rather than relying on a single garment for every season. Different teams often require different layers depending on their role, work environment, and local climate.

Many organizations create layered apparel programs that include:

Polos for everyday wear Woven shirts for meetings Quarter-zips for executives Soft shell jackets for daily use Heavy insulated jackets for field teams

The result?

A consistent brand experience across every department without forcing every employee into the same garment.

That's the type of planning we help customers with every day.

Growing Your Apparel Program

The best branded apparel programs grow alongside your business.

Most companies don't purchase jackets in isolation. They build apparel systems that evolve over time—starting with polos or work shirts, adding quarter-zips for managers, introducing outerwear for colder months, and expanding into company stores, employee onboarding kits, and event apparel as their team grows.

Planning your outerwear as part of a larger apparel strategy helps create a consistent brand experience across every employee, department, and customer interaction. Instead of choosing garments one order at a time, you're building a coordinated program that keeps your brand looking professional no matter where your team is working.

Common Mistakes When Ordering Outerwear

Choosing based on appearance alone

A jacket may look great online but still be the wrong choice for how your team works.

Comfort, climate, and durability all matter.

Ignoring layering

Many jackets are designed to be worn over polos, quarter-zips, or woven shirts.

Planning your apparel program as a complete system usually creates better long-term value.

Choosing the decoration before the garment

Embroidery performs differently on fleece than it does on soft shells or insulated jackets.

The garment should always guide the branding method.
