logo-ed shirts?

[aweston]

we were considering that, but do to cost it was prohibitive. The tattoo itself was not to costly, but more so the cost of the laser surgery for removal(all employees leave eventually). All in all, I think shirts were the better choice

Where's your sense of adventure? lol. Well, you could always get temporary tattoos.

I cannot believe this thread. Must be a REALLY slow day

What's next, which colour shoelaces work best. ?
Does throwing your laptop bag over the left shoulder looks better than the right ?

I'm off for a lie down.

Shoelaces none. Slip ons all the way.

if always dressing a certain way can make a small difference on the impression people get, over time I think it can really make a difference in profits. It is any easy thing that is controllable that may give real results.

That is part of the reason I think tucking in(I just hate doing it) will give a cleaner impression which tells the clients we do not cut corners.

I think it depends on the individual. Whether the shirt is tucked in or not, should be secondary to how the wearer feels.

If the tech feels uncomfortable or restricted, then this is reflected in their body language with the customer.

Someone with, say, wider girth, would look and feel better unfettered, whilst a thinner person could probably get away with either.

Also this would be reflected in any physical exertion, ie cabling or man-handling heavy machinery. Having a set rule IMHO is a non starter.

If you meet in a professional consulting capacity, then if course, you dress up for the occasion.

It all depends.

I have embroidered polo shirts and my wife would tell me I look like an idiot with it tucked in.
I usually wear a plain white T-shirt underneath in winter and that gets tucked in. But definitely not the polo shirt.

 

[smashedbotatos]

wow, this is a first on technibble. Tucking in or not.

I had some techs that liked the tight tuck look and some liked the sloppy look and I didn't care as long as the work got done. The guy who liked it sloppy and not tucked in was my best employee.

I never once debated on tucking in or not. There is no need if it fits correctly.
The following is a guide to help you dress casual/professional IT. At least this is my guide.

Polo Shirt
If you are wearing a polo that fits like it is supposed to. The bottom of the shirt should just hit the top of your pockets on your pants.
The collar should not be popped :
The top most button always undone. Unless you are hairy and it doesn't fit right...

Pants
You should be wearing cargo Khakis.....not jeans not slacks.... CARGO KHAKIS, Black, blue or tan in color. No blown out knees, and no stains. The waist does not need to be at your belly button. Let them be a little loose and comfortable. Not too lose as to look like a rapper, but just a little bit. The leg cuffs should be long enough that if you sit they don't fly up to mid shin, but short enough you don't walk on them. They should cover part of your shoe laces.

Footwear
NO BOOTS
NO DRESS SHOES
Sneakers only, and if you are required steel toes, get steel toe sneakers.No Jordans!!
A casual low-cut type skate or walking shoe, black, or tan only depending on the color of your pants/polo.
Yes they do come in steel toe. PUMA even makes steel toe shoes.

If you are in a corporate office and they require a full button down monkey suit. Good luck with that.

That's a really good guide.

Something I am seriously considering, and I kid thee not...... I'm thinking of getting my company logo printed onto some of my favourite tee shirts.
I have a thing for tie dye shirts, and I enjoy the "flamboyant" look. Also, it gets you remembered.
So I can wear my Pink Floyd, Ozric Tentacle, Hendrix shirts more often.

I personally dislike the corporate look, so I like the individual look.
Im a one man band, so it's just me, so I like to eschew a little more personality and "bond" with the customer.
Obviously, depending on situation, i go formal when required.

But mostly, I feel comfortable in my shirts.
Ok, a also wear a logo'd jacket on top, so I'm not too weird.

LOL....man, in the mid to late 80's, and the 90's...I was all about Hawaiian shirts.

I usually wear a logo polo shirt, never though about tucked in or out.

Today as I was cabling I went the whole hog and as well as the logo polo I also had my logo beanie hat and logo hi-viz on also

 

[JohnnyWizard]

I'm not ashamed to say I made my own logo-ed polo shirt (well, kinda).

I designed a little logo and had it printed on to an A6 iron on transfer for £1.99 and picked up a cheap black polo shirt for £5.00 from my local Asda.

I must say it looks very professional and a bargain at only £6.99.

Now that we have been wearing our uniforms(some tucked, some not tucked), we realize we look like we ripped off Best Buy: royal blue shirt, yellow logo, khakis. Same exact colors as them. Oh well.

logos

We have some embroidered stuff, mostly jackets and some polo or button shirts. But for the most part we are a 'casual' type of place. We wear jeans and black logo'd shirts or sweatshirts depending on the season. They are screenprinted not embroidered. We got them done locally and the cost was reasonable. We had to do them in quantity 24 at a time to get the best price, but we got to mix and match sizes etc. They look good when on-site and we do everything from wiring to crawling under desks so the t-shirt/sweatshirt thing seems to work out great for us. We have never heard anything bad about our appearance.

I went local myself and got embroidered polo shirts. It costs a little more to start with but after they have your logo digitized and on file when you need a new shirt, cap, bag, or anything it's cheaper and better quality than screen printing.

I always go local for things like this, cards, signs, and what not. You may even drum up some business along the way.

Good work. Never under estimate the value of local networking with other businesses.
