General contractor apparel is the branded uniform layer that sits over the safety gear: company tees on the framing crew, polos at the client walk-through, hoodies on cold-morning starts, and embroidered caps on every truck. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints the full lineup with no minimum order, free US shipping, and a flat $19.88 VIP base on the entry tee. Order one shirt or one hundred from the same shop link.
General contractor apparel covers four wear contexts on a typical project:
Most general contractors run all four contexts off a single shop link rather than juggling four different vendors. The shop holds the company logo, all the color options, and every piece the company ever orders.
The catalog covers tees, long-sleeves, hoodies, crewneck sweatshirts, polos, performance shirts, hats, and athletic pants. The standard starter lineup for a general contractor:

Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The cleanest contractor apparel designs lean into the company logo, not into novelty graphics:
Avoid four-color photographic prints and busy gradients. Construction apparel takes a beating across washes and sun exposure. High-contrast single-color or two-color logo prints hold up better and read cleaner across every fabric color in the catalog.
Two pricing models cover most general contractors:
Model A: Cost-only crew apparel. The company covers the cost of crew tees, polos, and hats and issues them as part of the uniform. No revenue line, the apparel is an expense.
Model B: Crew apparel as a profit center. The company sells branded apparel to clients, subcontractors, and the public off the same shop link, with markup that funds the cost-only crew pieces. A $20 base tee retailed at $30 yields $10 margin per tee.
Quick math for a mid-size GC with a 25-person crew and an active social media presence:
| Channel | Annual Units | Margin per Unit | Annual Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subcontractor crews ordering branded pieces | 200 | $10 | $2,000 |
| Client gifts at project completion | 80 | $0 (cost-only) | $0 |
| Public shop sales (referrals, social) | 120 | $12 | $1,440 |
| Topping-out and ribbon-cutting events | 150 | $8 | $1,200 |
$4,640 in annual margin from apparel without holding any inventory, plus the brand impressions every piece generates when subs and clients wear it across the city.
For general contractors who want a full shop built, the Done-For-You VIP plan at $109 a month assigns a shop advisor who handles the multi-product build, color selection, and seasonal refresh. The advisor builds the shop layout, sets the retail pricing, and writes every product page so the GC can focus on running projects.

Yes. One shop holds cost-only pieces (issued to the crew), standard-retail pieces (sold to subs and clients), and public-facing pieces (sold to anyone who finds the link). Each piece can have its own pricing without rebuilding the shop.
