Frequently Asked Questions

The daily-wear tee is what most ground crew and climbers put on before every job, so getting the fit and fabric right matters more than any other piece in the shop. Get it wrong and crew avoid wearing it. Get it right and it becomes the piece they reach for first. Here is the working guide to men's tree service tees, covering fabric choice, fit, and logo placement.

Two Fabrics Cover the Year

Fabric	Best for	Piece in catalog
100% cotton	Spring, fall, winter daily wear	Bear Grips Airlume athletic tee
Performance polyester	Hot summer canopy work, sweat-friendly	Sport-Tek moisture-wicking tee

Most working tree service companies stock one of each in the shop. Crew members pick based on the season and the type of job on their schedule that day.

Fit Notes for Tree Service Crews

Tees run true to size for most ground crew. Climbers and crew doing overhead reach work often prefer one size up for freedom of movement.
Stock the full size range. Tree service crews carry a wide build range across ground crew, climbers, and office staff.
Performance polyester runs slightly more athletic. Crew members between sizes should pick the larger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest tee I can put my logo on?

The Bear Grips Airlume cotton athletic tee at $19.88 VIP base. It sets up a $26-$30 retail zone with healthy margin.

Is cotton or performance polyester better for canopy work?

Cotton is more comfortable in cool weather, performance polyester handles heat and sweat better. Most crews stock both and switch by season.

Do I have to order in bulk for the crew?

No. Single piece works the same as a hundred-piece order. A new ground crew hire gets their tee the same week they start.

Can I print on the front and back of the same tee?

Yes. Company name on the front chest, larger logo or service callout on the back, at no extra setup fee.
