We have all seen merch and workwear that looks great in theory but somehow ends up living a quiet life at the back of a wardrobe or not being worn. Abbie is not about that life. As part of our Sales team; she gets asked for pieces that people reach for, wear out, and get compliments on when they order them. So, we asked her to share what her top picks were and these are the ones that made the cut.
Beechfield Vintage Cap
“The one that started it all“
Abbie made one of these in her very first week in training and it clearly left a mark. There is just something about that washed, worn-in look that makes it feel like your favourite cap from day one.
It has an effortless style that works with other garments in our catalogue. You can pair it with jeans and a custom branded t-shirt, a sportswear fit or even a typical smart casual outfit.
Why it works
The vintage finish gives it personality without loosing professionality.
It looks great embroidered, printed, or even left blank!
It feels like something you picked up on holiday rather than ordered online.
Stanley Stella Blaster 2.0 T-shirt
“A safe bet that doesn’t feel boring“
If Abbie had a pound for every time she recommended this one, she would probably be writing this from a beach somewhere. The Blaster 2.0 is that rare mix of premium feel and everyday wearability.
This is the one you point customers to when they say they want something that feels high quality but still looks trendy and fashionable. It has structure, weight, and a fit that does look good in any work setting but also casual; the t-shirt you can wear to the pub after work.
Why it works
Feels properly premium.
Holds its shape and prints beautifully, especially on DTG prints.
Works for brands that want to look polished and modern.
Asquith & Fox Premium Mercerised Polo
“For the corporate girlies“
Finding the balance between a garment that feels slick and professional but does not scream “uniform from 2003” is complicated. That is where the Asquith & Fox Premium Mercerised Polo comes in.
Abbie recommends this polo when budget is not the main concern and you want something that looks and feels premium. It is clean, flattering, and has just enough structure to make it feel sharp without being uncomfortable.
Why it works
Elevated look without losing comfort
Perfect for embroidery that looks crisp and professional
Ideal for teams that want to feel put together, not identical
Final thoughts
Abbie’s picks all have one thing in common: they get worn. Not just once for a team event or a quick photo, but again and again. That is the real measure of good custom branded workwear.
If you are choosing pieces for your brand, think less about what looks impressive on a product page and more about what someone would genuinely reach for on a random Tuesday morning. That is where the magic happens.
And if you ever get stuck, take a leaf out of Abbie’s book. Go for quality, go for wearability, and maybe grab yourself a vintage cap while you are at it.
