Bought some through my local embroidery shop (Dry-Tek is the brand) and they SUCK. After one day the have pulls all over. Even Steph wore one out to a quote and came back with snags. Where are you guys getting yours and what brand, and how successful have you been with keeping them holding together?

We paid decent money for em so I thought they would hold up but one day and they look like their 3 months old with all the snags!

I have always purchased ours at Kohl's ( dept store) I have had some for over 4 years. Same "wicking" type material and occasionally they'll snag but not often. I usually lose mine to "stripper" when doing VCT tile. I think the BN on collar is Grannd

Thanks, I like those. Did you get a deal because the print was backwards?

Even at that price it only takes one average job to pay for 6 shirts that will last for over 2 years and impress your clients much more that a cotton shirt or God forbid a freaking t shirt. The image improvement will pay for the shirts many time over. Image is very important in carpet cleaning.

Some of the lightweight shirt are poor quality. I buy the Port Authority Signature series. They seem to hold up pretty well. Local lady does my shirts. They end up cost to me about $26 each with print.

Chris look into the Gilden brand shirts. Not the same style fabric as your new ones. But very good quality for very fair price. I still have some 7-8 yrs old that look decent.

what you want is a 100% polyester shirt. these dry quickly are wrinkle free and stain free. yes polyester is very very good in some applications. I buy my 100% polyester/dryfit shirts at walmart for $12 each in various styles. sometimes they are on special for alot less. I bought a long sleeve one on clearance for $3 recently. I normally wear short sleeve.

We just got new moisture dry type shirts from our local embroidery store. We got the Holloway Brand and they are a snag free type shirt. PN 65378 or PN 85378 is the model number on the tag. Difficult to read the dang thing....and I have my arms stretched out a long way, cheaters on and the magnifing app on the phone and a real magnifing glass on it.

Here is a link to our Facebook with the pics.

Here is our Saiger's Steam Clean Facebook link with a bunch of more pics of cleaning and us wearing the shirts.

The Nike dryfits hold up well. But, From my experience, they sure are hot and don't breath well.

Nike, I have some that are three years old and still look great. Some days when it is really hot and humid I switch back to two cotton polos for the day, change after lunch
