Worker Clothing: The winter period is undoubtedly one of the most complicated in terms of the outfit of your company’s employees. The constant change of climate makes it difficult to determine which advertising clothing will work in the coming months.
While sweatshirts with prints are the most popular choice in the fall winter has its own rules and it would be appropriate to provide your employees with a warmer range of clothing.
Below we present a few elements of the employee’s clothing that are worth paying attention to when planning orders for uniforms for the fall and winter period.
3in1 jacket – a perfect solution for winter
The 3-in-1 jacket combines a fleece sweatshirt and an outer raincoat one of the advantages of this product. The fact that for the price of one you get three functional elements of your employee’s wardrobe which can be marked with your company’s logo using computer embroidery.
The 3-in-1 model works really well throughout the year of use thanks to the fact that it can be used in 3 ways depending on the weather conditions outside. The outer layer of the jacket is perfect for spring periods.
When the temperature increases day by day so warm clothing will cause thermal discomfort. However, the accompanying precipitation requires a protective raincoat. After the summer period, the beloved “Golden Polish Autumn” follows – the temperature drops compared to hot summer days.
In this case, the fleece lining will be perfect when it gets cooler outside, although there is no rainfall. Finally we come to the winter period,3in1 jackets are a fantastic compromise – but what if we are surprised by arctic frosts?
Down jackets
This solution for extreme weather conditions thanks to the down filling guarantee your employee thermal comfort at the highest level but not every type of filling has the same properties. So what should you decide on when looking for a warm winter jacket?
Types of down and their properties
Down is not equal to down and the quality of the filling is of paramount importance here we distinguish 3 main types of filling.
Down is small bird feathers, usually derived from geese or ducks. The best and most expensive down is goose down. Nevertheless both of them are very light thermally insulated and air-permeable. So they do not overheat the body.
Feathers just like down come from the same ‘bird suppliers’. Feathers consist of feathers along with the down in its lower part. It is slightly heavier than down and is also inferior in thermal insulation. Mainly used as an additive to down, it generally accounts for 10-20% of the fill value.
Synthetic or polyester down is the most common filling in this type of jackets. Due to the much lower price of products with this filling. Unfortunately in terms of parameters, they are much worse than natural raw materials. Which heat up immediately after putting them on while those with polyester filling gain temperature.
Only after the user’s body heats up this process takes much longer and brings weaker thermal insulation effects than natural fillings. However, their undoubted advantage is their anti-allergy much easier care and resistance to mold which unfortunately can appear in jackets filled with natural down.
Down jackets will work very well for employees who do not perform manual work on a daily basis. In their case the energy resulting from the work performed is converted into heat. Generating an improvement in thermal conditions in the case of a down jacket Black nitrile gloves the body may overheat. Which may lead to negative health effects.
Winter hats
As it is commonly known a large part of the heat ‘escapes’ through the head so in order to maintain adequate thermal comfort it is worth considering providing employees with winter hats with the company’s logo.
It is also one of the best advertising media for your business as the cap is a garment that is on top all the time. Thanks to this, your company’s logo will be properly displayed.
Marking of winter caps
In the case of decorating caps we most often use computer embroidery or indirect marking methods such as patches. In our offer you will find alternatives from classic embroidered patches through sublimated and innovative solutions such as aerography made on eco-leather.
Due to the structure of the material, which does not absorb prints, we do not offer them on most models nevertheless, in our offer you will also find a model prepared especially for printing.
Winter hats are not only one of the basic elements of your employees’ equipment for colder days. But also a great advertising gadget for customers or business partners. It is one of the cheaper items of clothing and each contractor will appreciate a small gift which can only positively affect business relations.
Thermoactivated shirts
By acting in direct contact with the body thermal clothing will take care of thermoregulation of the body. Protecting it from cooling down and overheating during activity on colder days. Especially recommended for employees of the outdoor industry who perform manual work in open areas in the autumn and winter period.
The use of thermoactivated clothing means that your employee does not need several layers of clothing to maintain the right body temperature. This affects both the improvement of mobility fewer layers of clothing reduces restraint of movements which significantly improves the comfort of physical work.
Fleece sweatshirts
Fleece sweatshirts with a grammage greater than 280 g / m2 are products typically intended for the outdoor industries. They are designed to protect the body against hypothermia. Their cut is usually quite simple, rarely fitted, and there are waterproof reinforcements on the elbows or shoulders.
The creation of the material was inspired by bear fur providing the animal with adequate thermal protection and water resistance. Therefore fleece is characterized by water-repellent properties and good heat insulation has much better thermal insulation properties than wool and does not lose them when wet.
In combination with thermoactivated clothing you get a functional hybrid, perfect for the autumn period and milder winter. As a result your employees will receive clothing that will provide them with comfort during the changing weather conditions.
Marking of winter clothing
Due to the thick and complicated structure of clothing intended for colder periods, computer embroidery will be the most universal method of decorating. It will work well on complex fleece structures, as well as on flexible structures of winter caps.
Also down jackets, most often with nylon outer coatings, do not adequately accept the textile glue. Which results in reduced durability of the print on such clothing. We try to discourage thermal transfer so that the purchased jacket with your company’s logo will serve your employees for a long time.
It happens, however, that the logo due to various tonal transitions or small elements, prevents the execution of computer embroidery. In this case we are left with one of the several available variants of special patches. The most commonly used form is the sublimated version which allows you to reflect all the details by using the sublimation form.
In the case of fleece sweatshirts there is still an alternative to printing in the form of flock foil. It is characterized by a fluff structure composed of cellulose fibers.
This technique gives an effect that is friendly to the touch and in addition, is characterized by high durability. It is especially recommended for use on fleece sweatshirts with a material texture similar to the flock foil itself.
Summary
Currently the winter periods are the hardest period to provide employees with company clothing. Because weather conditions and the average temperature are now a random factor and it is difficult to plan clothes suitable for the upcoming season.
In this case the most sensible solution will be a 3in1 jacket. Which we can use during the autumn period as well as during colder days. Remember that dressing an employee in appropriate clothing, ensuring him a high level of comfort at work, will translate effectively into the results of his work.
