Well, in the UK if you have personalised work wear its a business/marketing expense. I never visit a client without a polo shirt or sweater on so I am "identifiable" when they open the door.

It also works when I'm in the wholesalers and local lecky shops too!

I'd say its a must as its my "uniform" and buying decent quality polo shirts with embroidered logos is the way. I've got some that are 4 years old and still look OK.

EDIT: don't bother with ironed on logo's on t shirts - they look shxt on day 1 and even worse after 10 trips though the washing machine!

100% agree. I have polo shirts, fleeces, jackets, proper shirts all embroidered, and make sure I have my 'uniform' on every time I visit a client.

Hi

I think you've got to look at your clothing more holistically as part of your brand rather than one its own.

Your abuse never ceases to amaze me. Never any real info just abuse

Had a few people stop me and ask questions and got a few jobs, last one was a guy at Screwfix who had bought a CCU and wasn't sure how to change it!

I just had a week away in Devon so had the opportunity to buy. Load of new clothes and get them embroidered whilst away.

They look fantastic.

I had 3 pairs of work trousers done, 3 hoodies and 8 tshirts, cost me £70 including setup. I had done the artwork.

I am so pleased I got it done, I feel like I have a uniform, and when you go in shops you look more professional.

And as others say, I always wear my uniform to see customers now, just looks do much better.

Id scan in one of them for you to see, but it would reveal my identity, like removing a mask... Mwhaaaa mwwhhhaaaaa has haa, as I ride of into the darkness on my horse with my cape flapping about.

You should try loitering in the electrical isle in the orange shed, I've picked up a few jobs doing that.... You ok mate, what you doing, changing a socket are you? Here's my card if you get stuck...
