Cold weather work layers laid out side by side: moisture-wicking base layer, fleece mid layer and insulated work jacket

How to Layer for Cold Weather Work: A Guide for Crews and Teams

The simplest way to layer for cold weather work is in three parts: a moisture-wicking base layer next to the skin, an insulating mid layer to hold your heat, and a wind- and water-resistant outer layer on top. You then adjust through the shift as the work and the weather change. OSHA’s cold-stress guidance points the same way, recommending at least three layers of loose-fitting clothing. Most layering guides stop there. This one also covers what a crew leader or business owner needs when choosing cold weather work clothes: how to size layers so they

A beanie is usually a close-fitting knit hat without a brim, though hybrids like the visor beanie add a short one. Beyond that, the differences that matter are smaller: how long the knit runs, whether there’s a cuff, how tall the crown is, and how much of your ears it covers.

That’s why the word can describe a warehouse crew’s plush jacket, a school’s spirit-wear hoodie and a velvety throw blanket, three things that feel nothing alike.

Types of Shirt Printing: 7 Methods and the Blanks for Each

The main types of shirt printing, also called t-shirt printing methods, are screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG), direct-to-film (DTF), dye sublimation, heat transfer vinyl, plastisol transfers and embroidery, which uses thread instead of ink. A logo that looks sharp on one shirt can crack on another, vanish on a dark color, or feel like a sticker after a few washes, so the shirt matters as much as the method. GotApparel has supplied blank apparel since 2007 and carries more than 8,500 products from over 160 brands, so the blanks named below come from a working catalog.

29 Types of Pants for Men and Women: Names, Cuts and What Each Is Best For

Few clothing words stretch as far as “pants” A flannel pajama bottom, a pressed work pant and a football pant with pockets sewn in for pads all qualify, and they share little beyond a waistband and two legs. So a search for the different types of pants usually means one of two things: someone trying to put a name to a style they’ve seen, or someone trying to choose the right style for a job, a team or a store shelf. This guide is meant to help with both. GotApparel has supplied blank and custom
