Electrician Company Long Sleeve Shirts for Spring, Fall, and Sun Protection

Long sleeve shirts cover the temperature gap between a tee and a hoodie, and they double as sun protection on long outdoor service days. Most electrician companies undervalue this piece. Crew members who own the company long sleeve wear it 3-4 days a week from October through May. Here is what to stock and how to make the long sleeve part of the brand wardrobe.

Two Jobs the Long Sleeve Handles

1. Shoulder-season warmth. Spring and fall mornings where a hoodie is too much and a tee is not enough.
2. Summer sun protection. Long outdoor service days where covered arms beat sunscreen and sunburn.

Design Placement for Long Sleeves

• Left chest plus full back. Same as the tee. Most-used layout.
• Sleeve printing. Long sleeves open up the sleeve as a print zone. Service area, license number, or "Licensed | Bonded | Insured" reads down the upper arm.
• Back yoke text. Small text below the collar (company website, social handle).

When Crews Actually Wear the Long Sleeve

Working pattern for residential and commercial electrical crews:

• October-April. Long sleeve under the work shirt or alone. Most-worn shoulder-season piece.
• May-September outdoor service. Performance polyester long sleeve for sun-exposed work (service entry replacement, EV charger installation, solar tie-in).
• Attic work year-round. Long sleeve cotton or performance for arm coverage in insulation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is cotton or performance better for outdoor electrical work?

Cotton is more comfortable cold, performance handles heat and sun better. Most crews stock both and rotate by season.

Do long sleeves cost more than short sleeves?

Slightly. The long sleeve cotton shirt is about $5-$10 more than the equivalent short sleeve. Margin per piece holds up at standard $28-$36 retail.

Can I print down the sleeve?

Yes. Sleeve printing is available as an additional placement at no extra setup fee.

Are these long sleeves FR-rated?

No. We do not produce FR-rated apparel. Wear the branded long sleeve as a base layer or over a tee. Wear your arc-rated work shirt on top for FR-required jobs.
