Besides NEBS,(I already have their catalogs), where are some good places to get work shirts. You know, just a polo with company logo, or maybe a short-sleeve button up shirt. I can't really seem to find something I like. I think I'm being too particular but I'm fussy sometimes about clothes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Randy

Or check locally. If you buy local, you will be able to see the shirts before you purchase them, not just looking at a catalog.

I use a local embroidery (SP) shop. Very nice older ladies who do a great job.

Ray,

Do you know by chance if they are equipped to do embroidery on carhartt coats and such?? I have been looking for a place that can handle the heavier materials.

Thanks for any assistance.

We have are carharts done at a local store ,so I know this can be done. I don't suggest button down shirts for mowing
we have tried this and and the walkbehind handle alway seems to get caught in the front (where the it buttons up)
and untucks your shirt, we use pocket t's and polos,in the fall and spring long sleeve t-shirts
Just a thought

I was thinking I could buy a couple of golf shirts,
and a pack of permanent magic markers.

As long as I keep moving,
and at a distance,

when its raining, at night,
no one would know the difference!!
I'm on a BUDGET!

Try a local print shop. The have catalogs to look through and then thay can screen print or embroide your logo on the shirt. This is what I had done and it looks great.

Definitely go local. The prices I was was quoted locally were 25-40% lower than NEBS. Plus I can see the product and work with the staff in person.

I say go local because you support local economy. I might consider buying online office supply merchandise but equipment, parts, etc. I would always go local. Even if it cost me a little more.

Thanks guys, I was leaning towards local also for all the reasons you stated, especially keeping money local, maybe one day it will come back to you.

I always try to get the best deal, and that's always been on the internet. I supply pocket t's to my crews (5 each) when they have been with me for a month. I get them screened back and front with my logo. I just got some from a new place, in Texas, at a cost of $6.50 a piece.Before this order I was ordered from Canada! ($5.50, but no pocket)

If your looking for good prices my mother is a part of a Promotional company that does all my work. The company name is Perfect Promotions, 1-631-956-1402 ask for Alice tell her SodFather sent you. She is alot cheaper than NEBS. Try it.

I have a complete uniform that I put together from Wal-Mart and a military surplus store.

White polo shirt ($11.50) Wal-Mart

HP ink jet iron-on transfer paper. (Logo ironed on over left breast pocket)

Green cargo shorts with black web belt ($22.50)

Adidas hiking boots ($45.00) Payless Shoes

Looks really good, too.
