Custom Work Shirts & Shirt-Jackets for Trades, Retail, and Uniform Crews

Custom shirt-jackets — often called "jac-shirts" or heavyweight overshirts — are the versatile layering workhorse of modern workwear. Heavier than a button-up shirt, lighter than a full work coat, they carry chest logos and back graphics with heritage-trade character while staying comfortable from morning crew check-in through end-of-day cleanup.

At DTLA Print, we decorate shirt-jackets with premium chest embroidery, chain-stitch back graphics, custom chenille and woven patches, screen printing, and water-based transfers. We source from Linksoul, Patagonia, Carhartt, and AS Colour, handling all decoration in-house in Vernon, CA. Every order includes a free creative proof before production begins.

Chest embroidery that survives the crew shift

Chest embroidery is the industry standard for work shirts and shirt-jackets. Our raised-thread logos are tested on heavyweight flannel, hemp canvas, and cotton-blend surfaces to hold up through industrial laundering and daily crew wear.

  • · Raised-thread embroidery up to 4"x4" or 8,000 stitches
  • · Tested on flannel, hemp canvas, and cotton-blend
  • · Chain-stitch back graphics for heritage trade marks

Chain-stitch & patch application for heritage trade graphics

For larger back-panel graphics, we chain-stitch vintage-style trade marks, band-merch illustrations, and heritage workwear graphics onto hemp canvas and cotton shirt-jackets. Woven and chenille patches apply cleanly to the front and sleeves for lifestyle retail brands.

  • · Chain-stitch back graphics up to 12"x14"
  • · Chenille, woven, and embroidered patches
  • · Ideal for heritage and trade-retail branding

Shirt-jackets for layering, uniforms, and retail

From heavyweight Patagonia Iron Forge jac-shirts to flannel Carhartt shirt-jackets and minimalist AS Colour work jackets, we decorate shirt-jackets for every climate and every use case. Choose your silhouette based on the fabric weight, the weather, and the brand feel.

  • · Flannel, hemp canvas, and cotton-blend silhouettes
  • · Fleece-lined, unlined, and technical cuts
  • · Men's, women's, and unisex fits

Questions about Custom Work Shirts & Shirt-Jackets?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about fabrics, decoration, and delivery.

What's the difference between a work shirt and a shirt-jacket?

A work shirt is a lighter button-up worn as a primary garment. A shirt-jacket (or "jac-shirt") is heavier — built with thicker fabric, often fleece-lined, designed to be worn as a mid-layer or light outerwear. DTLA decorates both.

Can you embroider on plaid flannel without disrupting the pattern?

Yes. For chest embroidery on plaid flannel, we recommend tonal thread color matching to keep the logo readable without fighting the plaid. For bolder branding, contrast thread on a solid-panel area works well.

What's the largest chest and back size on a shirt-jacket?

Chest embroidery, chain-stitch back graphics, and screen-printed back panels are all available — your free creative proof confirms the design, placement, and size before production.

Do you decorate fleece-lined shirt-jackets?

Yes — Patagonia Iron Forge Jac-Shirts and Carhartt Fleece-Lined Shirt Jackets both support chest embroidery, woven patches, and chain-stitch back graphics. We test every decoration on the outer shell before production.

Is there a minimum order for work shirts and shirt-jackets?

1-piece minimum for embroidery and DTG. Wholesale bulk discounts for screen printing begin at 12+ pieces.

How fast can I get work shirts for a crew onboarding?

Standard production is 10-14 business days after proof approval. For tight crew-onboarding or seasonal drops, rush production is available — share your deadline so we can prioritize.
