Search "custom jackets with logo" and you will land here along with a dozen other results, so the honest thing to do is tell you upfront what is actually in this catalog before you build a shop around a piece that is not. There is no dedicated jacket category. What there is instead covers most of the same use case, and it is worth knowing exactly which piece to reach for.

What Is Not in the Bear Grips Catalog

To save a wasted search, here is what this platform does not currently produce: bomber jackets, leather jackets, rain shells, flotation-rated life jackets, or certified FR and ANSI-rated work jackets. If one of those is specifically what you need, a specialty apparel or safety supplier is the right source. What follows is what actually ships with your logo on it.

Why a Quarter-Zip Pullover Works as a Jacket Substitute

A quarter-zip layers over a short-sleeve polo the way a light jacket would, has a collar instead of a hood, and zips partway rather than pulling fully over the head. It reads more polished than a hoodie in a client-facing setting without claiming to be waterproof or insulated the way an actual technical jacket would be. For most office, sales, and event use cases where "jacket" really means "something to layer over the polo," the quarter-zip is the honest match.

When You Actually Need a Certified or Technical Jacket

If the requirement is a genuinely FR-rated work jacket, an ANSI hi-vis rated shell, a waterproof rain jacket, or a flotation-rated life jacket, source that from a specialty supplier built for certified safety and technical gear. Use the branded lineup here for everything around it instead: the quarter-zip and hoodie for client visits and cold mornings, and a long sleeve shirt for a lighter layer underneath.

Getting a Logo on the Quarter-Zip or Hoodie

  1. Left chest embroidered logo is the standard placement, matching a polo.
  2. A full back print or embroidery works for a company name or tagline.
  3. Upload a transparent PNG at shops.beargrips.com and preview the mockup before ordering.
  4. Single-piece printing applies, so order one to test fit and finish before outfitting the full team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you carry any style of jacket at all?

No. There is no jacket category in the current catalog. The closest pieces are the quarter-zip pullover and the hoodie lineup.

Can the quarter-zip be embroidered like a polo?

Yes. Left chest embroidery is standard, matching the polo look it is designed to layer over.

Is there a minimum order for the quarter-zip pullover?

No. A single piece is priced the same as a large order, same as everything else in the catalog.

Will an actual jacket be added to the catalog eventually?

The catalog changes over time. Check back periodically or ask your Pro Shop advisor if you are on the Done-For-You VIP plan.
