Branded knit teamwear for construction and trades companies
For construction and trades companies, branded knit teamwear means heavyweight cotton tees of 240–260 GSM, 320–400 GSM (up to 480) fleece or terry hoodies and piqué polos for the office and client visits, all carrying your logo. These are branded garments only. We do not make hi-vis clothing or certified PPE, so wear them where site rules allow or under the required safety gear.
Key takeaways
- Heavyweight tees in 240–260 GSM cotton jersey hold their shape on active days.
- Hoodies and sweatshirts come in 320–400 GSM (up to 480) French terry or brushed fleece.
- Piqué polos in 200–260 GSM suit site managers and client meetings.
- Not PPE: we do not make hi-vis or certified protective clothing.
- Every finished garment passes 100% metal needle detection.
Branded teamwear, not PPE
Trades and construction companies use branded clothing to get recognised on vans, on sites and at clients’ homes. We make knit teamwear: T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and polos with your logo.
We do not make hi-vis garments or certified personal protective equipment, and our garments make no protective claims. Where site rules require hi-vis or PPE, wear it as specified. Our teamwear is for off-site work, travel, workshops and offices, or under required gear where that is permitted.

Branding that lasts
Screen printing suits large back logos in bold artwork on T-shirts and hoodies. Chest logos are best embroidered on polos and sweatshirts. Names or trade roles go on by heat transfer.

Built for repeated washing
Workwear gets washed hard. We tape the shoulders with TPU so tee necklines don’t drop, join rib cuffs and hems on 4-thread overlock, and relax the knit fabric before cutting to control shrinkage. Darker colours hide dust and marks.
Hoodie details
Many trades teams prefer hoodies without drawstrings, since cords snag on tools and machinery. Tell us and we will specify it.
Sizing and reorders
Agree a graded size chart that covers your whole crew. We can pack by person or by size so handing out is easy. Keep the tech pack on file so new starters get matching kit.
How ordering works with us
Start with a brief covering garments, quantities and logos; the tech pack builder helps. Next we settle the spec: fabric, GSM, colours and decoration. You approve a sample for fit and logo placement. Bulk then runs through our 8-stage process, with final inspection and 100% metal needle detection.
Minimums, pricing and lead times are confirmed with your quote. See also logistics and warehouse uniforms.
Final thoughts
Heavyweight tees, warm hoodies and smart polos with your logo give a trades team a solid identity. Keep them as branded teamwear and buy hi-vis and certified PPE from a specialist. Send us your logo and quantities and we will recommend a teamwear set.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are your T-shirts and hoodies suitable as site PPE?
No. They are branded knit teamwear, not hi-vis or certified protective clothing. Follow your site rules and wear required PPE over or instead of them.
What is the best T-shirt weight for trades teams?
Heavier jersey around 240–260 GSM feels more durable and holds its shape. Lighter 180–220 GSM suits hot climates.
Can we have our logo on the back of hoodies?
Yes. Large back logos are usually screen printed, and chest logos can be embroidered or printed.
What is the minimum order?
Minimums depend on the garment, fabric and decoration, and we confirm them with your quote.
