Searches for custom embroidered jackets almost always come from someone picturing a soft-shell or fleece jacket with a stitched company logo on the chest. The Bear Grips Pro Shops catalog does not carry a standalone jacket item, and the closest piece, the quarter-zip pullover, is printed rather than embroidered, same as the rest of the apparel line. That does not mean the outerwear look is off the table. Here is what is actually available and how it fits into a cold-weather or event uniform.

What the Catalog Actually Has for Outerwear

PieceBrandBest forVIP base
Mens performance quarter-zip pulloverSport-TekSales calls, cold mornings, layering$29.88
Ladies quarter-zip pulloverSport-TekSame use, womens fit$29.88
Champion unisex performance hoodieChampionHeavier cold-weather layer$45.88
Classic zip-up hoodieGildanEasy on and off through the day$41.88

The quarter-zip pullover functions as the closest thing to a business jacket in the lineup, worn over a printed polo or tee.

Why the Quarter-Zip Is Printed, Not Stitched

Printing on the quarter-zip allows a full left-chest logo plus a larger back design at no extra setup fee, and there is no color limit. The zip splits the front panel, which is part of why most companies print rather than stitch this piece: an embroidered design across a working zipper does not sit as cleanly as a printed one does.

Who Actually Wears the Quarter-Zip

Complete the Look With an Embroidered Hat

The one piece in a cold-weather outfit that actually embroiders is the Yupoong Cuffed Winter Hat, $25.86 VIP base. Paired with a printed quarter-zip, the outfit reads as a coordinated, professional cold-weather uniform without needing an actual embroidered jacket that the catalog does not carry.
