In part 3 of our Promo 101 series, we want help you choose the perfect promotional jacket for your business! We’ll break down the questions you need to ask, and share some of our favorite jackets for every style and budget.
Consider the climate.
Keep the weather in mind when choosing a promotional jacket for your staff or customers. In the south, for example, we only have a few weeks of extreme cold each year, so you don’t see many people out on the streets with heavy parkas. However, if you’re located in a region where it snows all winter, you’ll want to provide something that’s suitable to blocking out the bitter cold. The bottom line: You’ll get the most return on investment if you choose a jacket that people can wear more often.
Do you need lightweight, heavyweight or something in between?
Lightweight Jackets: For milder climates, a lightweight jacket works really well during spring and fall when it tends to be cooler in the morning and at night. Examples of lightweight jackets include wind breakers and rain jackets.
Do you need wind or water protection?
Look for keywords in the item description. Anything that says wind or water resistant will offer a modest level of protection, but you won’t want to stay outside for hours in it. If it says windproof or waterproof, you’ll generally get a lot more protection.
Will you need extended sizing?
We offer jackets up to size 6xl in regular men’s sizes, or 5XL in tall sizes. Just keep in mind that some styles only come in a limited size range, so be sure to tell your sales rep if you need extended sizing.
