How to Create Custom Shirts That Employees Actually Wear

Start with Comfort-First Fabrics

Choose soft, breathable blends—like tri-blend or poly-cotton—in flattering cuts. When garments feel good, employees wear them more consistently, boosting visibility and morale.

Design for Taste and Subtle Branding

Avoid oversized logos or screaming slogans. Instead, place a small embroidered logo on the left chest and optional screen-printed sleeve or back graphics that align with your brand voice—not just marketing messages.

Include Voice & Fit Options

Offer unisex and female-fit shirts, as well as long-sleeve options. Providing choices shows you care about your team’s comfort, which fosters pride in wearing branded items regularly.
