Executive apparel

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Should executive apparel include logos? What is executive apparel these days? Why should I read this article? If you buy promotional products for your own company, you need to understand who your audience is in every area. If you buy promotional products for gifts, the same applies. 

First, let me preface and say this is about men’s apparel, since women’s is an entirely different answer. The first answer is yes, as long as it’s done tastefully. Consider the fabric, the logo, the brand and where the executive will be wearing the item. With respect to shirts, a nicely tailored button down microfiber shirt worn with a tie may look best with a tonal logo. In fact, ALL our microfiber shirts to date have been with tonal logos. I’ve been in boardrooms with senior executives coming in one after the other (word of mouth gets around fast) and all of them requested tonal logos. 

What is executive apparel? It’s whatever the executive is wearing and that varies business to business. In a typical corporate office, it’s shirt and tie nearly all the time, while a coat may be optional.  When the C-Level executive meets after hours, there’s a good chance he will still wear a button down shirt. But there’s also an equally good chance he will wear a crew neck or polo style shirt, with a jacket. For the shirts going under a jacket, if it’s short sleeve, I recommend the logo go on the left sleeve. If it’s a long sleeve shirt, the logo can go on the left chest, matching tonal colors only.

Which white logo shirts should I buy?

Q: We need white logo shirts for an event with the logo on the left sleeve. What do you recommend for 75+ shirts?

A: Consider these three options based budget and on the who your recipients are:

Red Rock Polo Shirt- 100% Pima Cotton Interlock, Short Sleeve. This is our own private label shirt and is far better than the typical shirts offered by promotional products companies. They are made in the same plant as other pricier brands.  Choose for tight budgets and when you have a cross mix of recipients ie sales, support staff, etc. It’s considered a mid-tier employee shirt.  However, t’s also given out at events with senior executive staff and they like it too. Priced at $26.50 each with logo.

Bugatchi Uomo Polo Shirt- (color- White & Asperine. 1525F57) 100% Egyptian cotton, double mercerized. This is a very light, very soft cotton and in white is somewhat see-through. For golf tournaments with executives this is a favorite. Alternatively, Fairway & Greene also has a mercerized polo, with a bit heavier cotton, though still lightweight. Priced at $42.50 each with logo. Call for specific quantity discounts.

Bugatchi Uomo Ribbed Shirt-  65% modal rayon, 35% polyester, sku 1643F57, 1643F50. This microfiber shirt is nice for both on and off the course. The ultimate in luxury feel is also a perfect look worn under your sport coat. As a golf shirt you’ll really like the way fabric breathes. If it gets wet, it quickly dries and still looks fresh. This shirt wears extremely well and looks like new over time. For golf tournaments with executives this is a favorite. Alternatively, Bugatchi has the same fabric in a CREW NECK. A lot of senior executives prefer the crew neck so we recommend you check with a few of the probably recipients to see what they wear.  Priced at $56.50 each with logo.

All of these short sleeve shirts are very soft, and stay that way wash after wash, without pilling or fading (if colored shirt). The collars don’t get all out of shape, though the Ribbed shirt will hold the original shape the best. Call for specific quantity discounts. We’ve included the dollar estimates above to help guide you to a budgeting decision, though prices may vary over time and by quantity ordered.
