What do you think about Cut-Off or Tank top shirts. Do you think they are a good idea for. i have seen lcos out there with tanks in and they look bad, and some with cut offs and they dont look that bad.

I think it would be ok. most of my customers are understanding abpout the type of heat i work in and no shirt or sleaves does not bother them, just have it be a company shirt with your logo on it and tuck it in.

if you put your logo on it, and maybe not go white, it looks alright, but if its all sweaty dirty and not lettered, it looks bad.

When you say cut-offs do you mean the bottom or the sleeves?
If you do mean the bottom I think that's kind of sloppy. If you mean the sleeves then I think that would be ok. As long as they are silk screened with your company name and the shirts are made without sleeves not cut off with a scissors. We had 3 types last year regular T's, sleeveless, and tanks. I will never buy tanks again they look like crap. I didn't think they would look that bad when I ordered them. But once the guys started wearing them.......:rolleyes: not good, real low class IMHO.

I wear tanks. Tuck 'em in and they don't look half bad. I think the way you present yourself says more about you than the clothes you wear (within reason!) and tanks are a good alternative for those warm days.

You all say that taking your shirt off to work is scrubby, I think the tank tops look a hundred times worse.

Looks aside not having a two or three inch sleave would be that much cooler plus you need that sleave in case your nose starts to run ha ha

Cut off sleeves w/logo a must. No tanks.

I have worn tanks for the last 2 season for tanning reasons, but my opinion could change on this matter an business continues to grow and expand.

cut offs and tanks look too leasurlie in my opinion ! Think T shirts are the only way to go.. for professionalism.. And come on... How much hotter is a T shirt ..... ???? It's what you get used to I guess ?? I wear long pants, usually jeans and a T shirt, usually hanes heavy beefy t's cause they dont rip as easily on shrubs, and stone, all summer long ... Guess I'm just used to that... Beats picking trimmer line out of your shin, etc, etc, etc.........

I wear premade sleaveless t-shirts and lightweight workpants that match. I don't ever wear shorts to work in because trimming tears up my legs in shorts, (learned that the hard way). Down here I have found out anything you can do to stay a little cooler,do it. I have however, thought of looking into uniforms this year.

I say let your work, equipment, and dependability promote your image. Who cares what type of shirt your wearing. It's not like your mowing the White House, or Disney World for Gods sake :eek: . When its hot, and I have to even out my tan, off comes the shirt and onto the backrest of the mower seat. If I see a customer come out, I put the shirt back on.

We are a small company, but we believe that looking professional is just as important as doing professional quality work, and all the other things that go with being professional. Me and my wife to be both wear matching polos and hats with our logo on them. Most people on this site seem to be of the mind frame of not liking scrubs, so if that is the case then why not go for the complete professional look. For example here in our area the largest, most professional and succesful companies all seem to have a very clean classy look to them. Not to say that you dont see the guys out there all dirty but they start off with a finished look. It has been said that you become what you associate with so why not associate with the best in every way you can.
