Custom Harvest Crew Apparel
Quick Answer- Custom harvest crews follow the harvest north from Texas to Canada; crew apparel identifies the operation across every field.
- Crew tees, embroidered hats, hoodies for cool mornings, and long sleeves for sun protection.
- Tees from $19.88 VIP, embroidered hats from $29.86, no minimum on any piece.
- Free US shipping to wherever the crew is parked for the week.
Custom harvest crews follow the wheat north for 4-6 months, working from Texas through the Dakotas and into Canada. The crew shirt is the operation's identity to every farmer, every truck stop, and every elevator they touch. Most operations carry 4-15 crew members at peak, plus family who join for stretches. Bear Grips Pro Shops gives the operation a branded shop with no minimum and no setup fees, so a new combine operator hired mid-harvest can have a crew tee shipped to the next overnight stop.
What Custom Harvest Crew Apparel Covers
- Crew tees: daily wear with operation name on the back yoke and brand or logo on the front
- Embroidered hats: rope or flat-bill hats with operation name
- Hoodies for cool northern mornings: late-summer mornings in the Dakotas hit 45 degrees
- Long sleeves: sun protection during 14-hour combine days
- Cool-tee for hot southern stretches: moisture-wicking tees for Texas and Oklahoma stretches

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I ship to a new address every week as we move?
Yes. Each order ships to whatever address the order uses; you can change addresses on a per-order basis through the season.
How fast can a new hire have a crew tee?
About a week from order placement. Order on the shop link the day the hire joins; ship to the next overnight stop.
Do you have anything tougher than a standard tee for combine work?
The Premium Cotton Crew Tee (Next Level, $23.88 VIP) is a heavier-weight option that holds up better to repeated wash and dust exposure. Long sleeves run the same heavier weight.
Can sponsor logos go on the crew shirts?
Yes. Trailer dealers, fuel suppliers, and equipment sponsors often sponsor a crew shirt run; their logo goes on the sleeve.
