Start with the working environment
Begin with where and how the team will wear the jackets. Outdoor events, property management, logistics and volunteer services usually prioritise wind and weather protection, while daily corporate uniforms may prioritise light weight and ease of movement.
Compare fabric and fit together
Hardshell styles suit teams that need stronger weather protection. Softshell styles are generally more flexible for daily wear, while 3-in-1 designs offer seasonal versatility.
- Define the working environment
- Confirm fabric function and care requirements
- Reserve space for logo branding
- Check the size range before production
Plan the order schedule
The standard lead time for iGift Custom Jackets is 3–15 working days. Timing varies by quantity, style, fabric availability and branding method, so confirm the design, sizing and artwork before the required event date.
