Premium Custom Jacket Embroidery for Rethink Electric
Rethink Electric came to us needing custom jacket embroidery done for their team, and they came with a specific vision. We delivered embroidered jackets on both Carhartt and The North Face styles, with consistent company logo placement across both jacket styles. The result is staff outerwear that holds up on the job and represents the brand every time it is worn.
Custom embroidered jackets are a fantastic way to advertise your business, offering excellent branding opportunities and helping your business stand out. They also make great gifts for both customers and employees, enhancing your business’s promotional efforts.
Two Premium Brands, One Placement Decision
The North Face Carhartt
For this project, Rethink chose the nape of the neck placement for the embroidered company logo on both styles. This positions the company logo at the center back of the collar, visible when the hood is up. This location gives a clean-look without competing with the front of the jacket. It is a less common placement than the left chest, and that is exactly why it works here. The branding feels considered rather than standard.
We applied the same placement spec to both the Carhartt CT104050 and The North Face Apex Bionic jacket, keeping the finished result consistent across the full order regardless of which style each team member received. When deciding on a location, you can choose branding placements such as full backs, left chests, or sleeves on embroidered jackets.
Carhartt and North Face: Built for Different Conditions
The Carhartt CT104050 is a blanket-lined duck canvas work jacket, built for job sites and cold weather conditions. It is the kind of garment people reach for when the work is physical, and the weather is not cooperative. The Carhartt CT104050 Washed Duck Jac provides excellent warmth and protection against the elements, making it ideal for harsh environments. For a Carhartt jacket for work, the Carhartt CT104050 is a reliable choice with a structure that holds embroidery cleanly at the collar.
The North Face Apex Bionic brought a different set of qualities to this order. Softer, smoother feel that is more packable, and oriented toward active outdoor use, it expanded the range of what the Rethink Electric team could wear this jacket for. Soft shell jackets offer breathability and water protection, making them suitable for various outdoor activities, whereas heavy insulated jackets are designed to provide warmth in cold weather conditions. The two styles covered different contexts without requiring different branding approaches.
It is worth noting that the North Face NF0A47FI has since been discontinued. If you are interested in a similar build, we can help you find a current equivalent that matches the same performance profile.
Custom embroidered jackets are available in a variety of styles and weights to fit different needs, can be used for layering and adapting to seasonal changes, and can be made from materials like fleece, soft shell, and waterproof fabrics.
Choosing the Right Custom Jackets for Your Team
Not every project calls for the same blank, and that is a good thing. The right jacket depends on how it will be used, who is wearing it, and what the brand needs to communicate. Budget is part of that conversation, too. Rethink Electric had the flexibility to invest in premium custom outdoor apparel, which opened up options like Carhartt and North Face, two workwear brands we are licensed to carry and decorate.
Carhartt custom jackets make sense when durability and workwear credibility matter. North Face custom jackets lean toward performance and lifestyle, which fits teams that want something polished enough for client-facing situations. Together, they gave Rethink a way to outfit different roles without managing two separate branding programs.
Not every client needs to go this route. We work across price points and can help you find the right blank whether you are ordering team jackets for a work crew, a corporate group, or anything in between.
Why Custom Jacket Embroidery Is the Right Choice for Custom Workwear
Custom jacket embroidery holds up in ways that other decoration methods do not. On outerwear that gets real use, embroidered logos do not crack, fade, or peel. Embroidery provides a more durable and professional look compared to screen printing. The thread becomes part of the garment rather than sitting on top of it, which matters when the jacket is worn repeatedly through demanding conditions.
For personalized jackets at this price point, embroidery also matches the quality expectation of the blank itself. A Carhartt or North Face jacket with a heat transfer logo is a mismatch. Custom embroidery reads as intentional and appropriate for the garment it is on.
Outfitting Teams with Branded Outerwear That Lasts
Team jackets decorated with consistent embroidery do something that single promotional items cannot. They build recognition over time. When a team shows up in matching branded outerwear, the branding registers without anyone having to think about it.
Rethink Electric’s choice to invest in custom outdoor apparel from two premium brands reflects an understanding of that. These are not giveaway jackets. They are workwear custom-built to represent the company across whatever environment the team operates in, and the embroidery will still look sharp well after the order is delivered.
Custom Jacket Embroidery for Teams: personalizations on outdoor apparel that is up to the task
Rethink Electric came to this project with a clear vision and well-established brand standards. Our job was to execute that vision cleanly across two different garment types. That kind of collaboration produces the best results because the decisions that matter most, brand positioning, product selection, and audience fit, are already made before production begins.
If you are outfitting your team with branded outerwear and want custom embroidered jackets that holds up to the standard of the garments themselves, we can help you get there.

FAQ:
Can you embroider logos on both Carhartt and North Face jackets in the same order?
- Yes. We source and decorate multiple jacket brands for a single client regularly, keeping placement, sizing, and finish consistent across all styles. One order, one standard.

What is the nape of neck embroidery placement?
- Nape of neck places the logo at the center back of the garment, just below where the hood meets the jacket body. In this instance, the logo is only visible when the hood is up.
Why choose embroidery over other decoration methods for custom jackets?
- Embroidery matches the quality expectation of premium outerwear brands. It does not crack or fade, handles outdoor and workwear conditions well, and has a finished appearance that belongs on the garment rather than sitting on top of it.
