Electrical contractor shirts and polos with your logo
Electrical contractors split between commercial crews that need a hi-vis layer and residential techs who need to look sharp at the door. An embroidered logo on both the tee and the polo reads more professional than print, and it survives the laundry. Battle Born Clothing stitches both from one file.
Who orders
Commercial and residential electrical contractors, 5 to 60 people. Commercial GCs often require company-identified shirts on site, which is what drives the order.
What they order

Questions
Why embroider a tee instead of printing it?
At 48 pieces an embroidered left chest on a PC61 is $11.54 each versus $10.63 for a 1-color front print. For $0.91 more the logo outlasts the shirt. Add a back print and screen print pulls ahead on price.
