The hidden cost of cheap work shirts
Generic crew shirts cost you four ways. Most owners only see one.
You see the per-shirt price. You don't see the replacement cycle, the worker's-comp claims, the lost bids from looking unprofessional, or the foreman's monthly Amazon-cart restock.
-
Replacement every 6–12 months
Cotton tees blow out at the seams, fade, and pill within a season. Helios is built for 1–2 years of daily abuse.
-
UPF 5–7 isn't sun protection
A standard cotton shirt blocks ~15% of UV. Helios blocks 98%. The difference shows up on insurance forms, not invoices.
-
Fading logos = unprofessional
Cracked transfers and sun-bleached prints kill the marketing ROI you bought the logo for. Our placement holds 100+ washes.
-
Crews quietly stop wearing them
If the shirt is hot, scratchy, or stinks by lunch, your dress-code policy is a fiction. Comfort drives compliance.

From owners who switched
"My crew stopped buying their own shirts. That tells me everything."
We used to burn through 200 shirts a season. Two years on Helios, we're still re-ordering for new hires only — never replacements. The math sold itself.
First summer my crew didn't complain about the shirts. They stopped buying their own off Amazon, which is the metric that actually matters to me.
Bid two HOA contracts last quarter and the property managers both said the uniforms were the deciding factor. Cheap shirts cost me jobs I didn't know I was losing.
Your logo, where it earns
Three placements. We'll recommend the right one for your work.
Back panel
Maximum visibility. Best for crews working roadside or in public-facing spaces. Reads from 50+ feet.
Chest + back combo
Polished up close, billboard from a distance. Most popular for landscaping and construction crews.
