Custom workwear for franchises and trades

Trade workwear is the cheapest advertising a business will ever buy, and it only works if the phone number is legible from a passing car. The complication is that the same crew walks into a client's home an hour later, where a shirt that reads as a billboard undercuts the pitch. Most of these jobs end up as two versions of one brand: a loud one for the jobsite and a quiet one for the walkthrough.

Franchise work has the opposite problem — no creative latitude at all. The logo arrives with a brand standards document and the job is reproducing it exactly, usually across garment colours that were never considered when the mark was drawn. Gradients, fine keylines and white detail on a dark hoodie are where that gets decided, and it is generally what determines whether we screen print it or run it as DTF.
