Clients often ask us, “Can you get big brands like Under Armour or Nike?” The answer? Yes, absolutely! We offer many of your favorite retail brands, including everything from polos and jackets to t-shirts and baseball caps. We’ve highlighted some of our best-selling brands below, and noted a few things to keep in mind before you place your order for retail branded apparel.
Before You Order Retail Branded Apparel:
- Remember that selection can be limited. Typically, these big brands don’t carry their entire product line over to the corporate market. Instead, they pick select styles from their collection, and sometimes even create exclusive pieces, too. Just because you saw it at your local department store doesn’t mean you’ll find it in their promo catalog.
- Expect to pay more for that coveted Nike swoosh or Under Armour X on your favorite golf shirts. (Generally speaking, the bigger the brand, the bigger the price tag.) Not to worry…most brands offer some entry-level options, too.
- Be flexible with your logo placement. Companies like Columbia often put their logo on the left chest area of the shirts, which means you’ll need to choose a different spot for YOUR logo. Our embroidery experts will work with you to make sure that your logo looks great on any brand.
Athletic/Golf Brands:
Look to big name athletic and golf brands for moisture-wicking polos, t-shirts, and pullovers, as well as caps and bags. You’re probably already familiar with Under Armour, Nike Golf and Adidas, but don’t overlook the smaller, more golf-centric brands. Callaway and Pebble Beach offer beautiful performance polos at reasonable prices, too.
Under Armour: Performance polos, t-shirts and pullovers, plus bags and caps Nike Golf: Performance polos, pullovers, caps and nice duffel bags/travel bags Adidas Golf: Mostly performance polos Callaway: Mostly performance polos, but they also carry golf accessories Pebble Beach: Performance polos and pullovers
Worth Noting: Pebble Beach does not add upcharges for extended sizing, which can really save you money if you need sizes 2XL and up.
High End Outerwear & Business Attire:
Whether you need a nice dress shirt or a jacket that transitions from work to weekend, you’ll find a great selection of high-end brands like Cutter & Buck and North Face.
Cutter & Buck: Dress shirts, polos, and a large selection of gift items too, like bags, pens and padfolios Eddie Bauer: Button-down shirts, polos, jackets North Face: Mostly jackets and rain gear Marmot: High-end jackets
Worth Noting: Cutter & Buck offers unique size/fit options, including big sizes (normal length with extra room in the body) and tall sizes (which are longer, but have a pretty standard fit in the torso.) They also offer a budget brand called Clique, which might pop up if you’re searching ShopJDA.com for Cutter & Buck items.
Workwear:
For anyone working in an industrial or outdoor setting, good quality work wear can make the job a lot easier. We offer classics like Carhartt, DriDuck and Dickies to meet your workwear and uniform needs!
DriDuck: Heavy duty jackets, work shirts and more Dickies: Uniform pants and shirts Carhartt: Best known for jackets and outerwear
Worth Noting: If you love Carhartt quality, but don’t have the Carhartt budget, ask us about more affordable private label alternatives, like Cornerstone.
Casual Wear/Athleisure:
We named athleisure apparel as one of the big trends for 2018, and it looks like it’s here to stay. With brands like New Era and Alternative coming on the scene, you’ve got more options than ever for comfortable, casual clothes with your company logo.
Columbia: Jackets, fishing shirts and other outdoorsy essentials New Era: Casual athletic wear, caps, performance t-shirts and hoodies Alternative: T-shirts, casual athletic wear; emphasis on sustainability & fabric sourcing Comfort Colors: Ringspun cotton t-shirts & hoodies; known for their custom colors Richardson Cap: Huge provider for teams sports, but they offer their caps to the corporate promo industry
Worth Noting: You might be familiar with New Era because they do a lot of caps for Major League Baseball teams. However, they offer a complete line of apparel, from t-shirts to hoodies and much more.
