Almost every company in Orange County and elsewhere uses some sort of uniform, and many are choosing embroidered shirts as part of their company dress. There are many great fabric options available, and it is important to choose carefully before you have the shirts embroidered with your Orange County company logo.
Cotton
Many people truly love cotton or cotton blends because it breathes and is comfortable. There are many options, including Pima, Egyptian, and Poly/Cotton that can allow your employees to feel comfortable throughout the day.
Pima cotton is very soft cotton and has a higher resistance to pilling than other cotton options. This means that the shirt is considered more durable and will last longer than regular cotton.
Egyptian cotton is considered to be a high-end cotton material that breathes better than regular cotton and is very soft, fine and comfortable. Many times, this fabric is used for hand-made dress shirt options.
Cotton/Poly or Poly/Cotton shirts are actually a blend of polyester and cotton in differing variations. This option is the choice for most companies in Orange County and is comfortable. Caring for this type of shirt is also quite easy, as it can be machine washed and dried, and they are already pre-shrunk, don’t require an iron and you don’t have to dry-clean them.
Oxford
Oxford fabric is considered a heavier thread and is slightly rough in texture, but is considered to be more durable than other fabrics. It is actually more of a casual shirt fabric, so if your company does not require full dress attire, embroidered shirts with this fabric are a great option.
Pinpoint Oxford is another type of oxford fabric and is slightly thinner and less rough than regular oxford. It is considered to be a more formal cloth, but not as formal as broadcloth. If you are looking for a company shirt that is nicely made, not extremely dressy but not extremely casual, this is a great choice.
Broadcloth or Poplin
This type of fabric is very dressy and has a slight sheen to it. Because of its sheen, it is popular with women, though men can look very impressive in a broadcloth-fabric shirt, as well. It is also light and thin in weight, making white seem slightly transparent, so another color option may work better for your Orange County company’s needs.
