I was asked about my current work shirts and asked to post about them.

I got them from my local embroidery shop and a link to their website and catalogues.: http://www.arrowembroidery.com/promotional-catalog.html

Being a former racer, I was attracted to the cut of the shirt and a better looking "Untucked" style shirt. I do wear a tank top style cotton t-shirt under them to keep tucked in.

The one shirt I use more is with a pocket so it is easier to keep my note pad and a pen. It is a bit heavier shirt (but all shirts seem heavy when working). It is a racing shirt. Retail price per shirt is: Downshifter twill shirt 908- $49.50.

Material content: 60% cotton, 40% Polyester

I like the shirt for the fit. As far as it a "Cool" shirt to work in....It can be a bit warm, but I really don't know a shirt that is cool when you sweat in this business like we can.

The other shirt I have DOES NOT have a pocket. It is a lighter weight shirt, but It makes it more difficult to take a call and notes as fast as the other shirt if needed.

Port Authority Retro Camp shirt

PA retro camp shirt S300- $29.98

It is 55% cotton and 45% Polyester. It is lighter weight than the other.

I have no picture of it on me, but it is in this short video of me showing the 2 different size Seal-a-door door drapes we are using.

Anyway, that is the info I have at this time. You will see on the catalogue links there are of course other colors besides "Saiger's Steam Clean Blue" :)

We get the same cotton/ poly blend for half that much but in solid colors. http://www.queensboro.com/style/147...olo-with-anionic-energy-plus.html#lid-2002523

I looked at the link and have access to the same shirts at the same price....I don't see that they have the Port Authority Camp style shirt offered.

I actually wanted a clean looking untucked type shirt vs the polo and other tuck in classic button downs.

Would be curious if they offer the camp style shirt and I am not seeing it.

I see they have this Dickie short sleeve shirt http://www.queensboro.com/style/3257/c/buttondowns/dickies-adult-short-sleeve-blend-work-shirt.html

And here in Eddie Bauer long sleeve http://www.queensboro.com/style/360...er-long-sleeve-performance-fishing-shirt.html

Some options there....


Thanks!

Here is the shirts that we use.. its lets you breathe good on those hot summer days. It doesn't really show the sweat marks under the arms either and the hat is the same as the shirt. I wear the dickie double knee pants that is a similar color to my shirt, but they doesn't let you breathe as easily so gonna try and find a replacement. I think the shirts are around $25 each but some of the best ones I have used.
