Common questions from painting contractors

How fast can you print shirts for a new crew hire?

Since your art is on file, reorders (even one shirt) ship 4 business days after you approve the proof, or 2 with rush. Adding one shirt for a new hire is a two-line email.

Do you do embroidered patches for jackets and vests?

Yes — patches are quoted per order: we embroider them with your logo, business name, and phone number, ready to sew onto Carhartt jackets, hi-vis vests, or hats. Or we embroider direct-to-garment for a cleaner finish.

What's the best shirt for painters who work in bright colors?

Light-color shirts (white, ash gray) hide splatter better than dark colors on painters. Dark navy or black shirts show every drop of primer, which is why most crews go with grey or white daily wear.
