Two Tee Fabrics Cover the Year
| Fabric | Best for | Pieces in catalog |
|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton | Cooler months, daily wear | Bear Grips Airlume athletic tee, Next Level premium cotton crew |
| Performance polyester | Hot attics, crawlspaces, sweat-friendly | Sport-Tek mens moisture-wicking performance tee |
Most working plumbing companies stock one of each in the company shop. Techs pick which they want based on the season and the call.
Logo Placement That Reads Professional
- Left chest only. Single-color logo, 3-4 inches. Cleanest, most professional, best for customer-facing visits.
- Left chest plus full back. Front logo plus large back graphic. Best for high-visibility job sites.
- Full back only. No front logo, single large back graphic with the phone number.
- Sleeve callout. "Licensed | Bonded | Insured" or a service area tag on the sleeve.
What to Print on the Back That Actually Generates Calls
The back of a plumbing crew tee is mobile billboard space. Working layouts that have generated callbacks:
- Company name (large) plus phone (clearly readable) plus service area tag. The simplest, most-used layout.
- "24/7 Emergency Service" plus phone. Drives off-hours calls for companies that run emergency service.
- Service list. "Drain Cleaning | Water Heaters | Leak Repair" tells homeowners in one glance what you do.
- License number plus state. Builds trust at industrial sites and large commercial jobs.
Fit Notes for a Plumbing Crew
- Tees should run true to size for most techs. Crew working crawlspace and attic access points often prefer a slightly more athletic fit for tight spaces.
- Stock the full XS-3XL range. Plumbing crews carry a wide build range.
- Performance polyester runs slightly more athletic. Techs between sizes should pick the larger.
Retail Pricing for Crew and Customer-Facing Tees
- Company-issued. Cost-plus or at cost. The company buys at base, ships to the tech home.
- Self-serve crew. $26-$32 retail with a company discount code at half price.
- Customer-facing public tees. $28-$32 retail. Customers occasionally buy company tees as a keepsake or gift.
