TL;DR: Construction Uniforms Built for Nevada Jobsites
| Nevada is in the middle of a construction boom. Data centers, housing developments, highway projects, solar farms, and the ongoing expansion along USA Parkway and TRIC mean crews need branded uniforms, hi-vis safety gear, and company apparel that looks professional on every bid walk and jobsite. Battle Born Clothing outfits construction companies across Northern Nevada with screen printed crew tees, embroidered polos and jackets, custom hard hat stickers, and Carhartt workwear with your logo. No minimums. Same-day quotes. Everything produced in-house. |
A construction crew in matching branded gear looks like a company that has its act together. That matters when a general contractor is deciding between your bid and someone else's.
Branded uniforms do more than look professional. They build crew identity, make your team instantly identifiable on multi-contractor jobsites, satisfy client dress code requirements on commercial projects, and turn every worker into a rolling billboard on their lunch run, at the gas station, and sitting in traffic on I-80. A $12 screen printed tee does marketing work that a $500 Facebook ad cannot touch.
At Battle Born Clothing, we understand construction workwear because we outfit the crews that build Nevada. From Reno and Sparks residential contractors to Elko and Battle Mountain heavy civil crews, we know what holds up on a jobsite and what falls apart after three washes. This guide covers everything you need to build a construction uniform program that works.
Nevada's Construction Boom: Why Branded Crews Win More Bids
Nevada is one of the fastest-growing states in the country, and construction is the engine driving it. The Tahoe Reno Industrial Center along USA Parkway is home to Tesla's Gigafactory, Switch data centers, and 150+ other companies that need constant build-out and maintenance. Reno and Sparks are seeing new housing subdivisions break ground every month. Carson City, Fernley, and Dayton are expanding rapidly. The I-80 corridor from Winnemucca to Elko has mining infrastructure projects running year-round.
In this environment, every general contractor, subcontractor, HVAC company, electrician, plumber, roofer, and concrete crew is competing for work. A professionally branded crew communicates reliability, organization, and permanence. It tells a project manager, "We are not a fly-by-night outfit." That perception starts with what your crew is wearing when they show up on day one.
The Construction Uniform Lineup
Crew Tees (The Daily Driver)
Every crew member needs a stack of company tees. These are the shirts that get destroyed by drywall dust, concrete splatter, and Nevada sun. That is fine. They are meant to be replaced. Screen printing on Gildan 5000 or Port & Company PC61 gives you a tough, affordable crew tee at $8-12 per shirt in volume. Company name on the front left chest, big logo on the back. Simple, bold, and visible from across the jobsite. For hot Nevada summers, wholesale tank tops and moisture-wicking performance tees keep crews cooler on triple-digit days.
Hi-Vis and Safety Apparel
ANSI-rated hi-vis safety vests and shirts are required on most commercial and DOT-adjacent jobsites. We customize hi-vis gear with your company logo through embroidery or screen printing, depending on the garment and safety class requirements. ANSI Class 2 vests are standard for most construction work. Class 3 (full torso and sleeves) is required for roadway work and high-traffic environments. We source safety apparel from the same wholesale distributors (SanMar, S&S Activewear) that supply the major uniform companies, at wholesale pricing.
Carhartt Workwear with Your Logo
Carhartt is the standard on Nevada jobsites. The K87 pocket tee, Rain Defender hoodies, Duck Active jackets, and Acrylic Watch caps are what your crew already wants to wear. We embroider your company logo on any Carhartt garment, from beanies to vests, sourced at wholesale through our authorized distributor accounts. Your crew gets the brand they trust, with your name on it. Read our full Carhartt custom embroidery guide for product recommendations and pricing.
Embroidered Polos (Client-Facing Roles)
Foremen, project managers, estimators, and sales reps need something a step above a crew tee. Embroidered polos from Port Authority, Sport-Tek, or Carhartt give your client-facing team a professional look without the stiffness of a dress shirt. Left-chest logo embroidery, optional name embroidery on the right chest. See our embroidery pricing breakdown for per-unit costs.
Hard Hat Stickers and Decals
Every hard hat on a multi-contractor site needs a company sticker. It is the fastest way for a superintendent to identify which crew belongs to which sub. We produce custom vinyl stickers and decals in any shape, size, and color, printed full-color and die-cut for a clean look. Also great for tool boxes, truck doors, and jobsite trailers. Order 100+ and the per-unit cost drops under a dollar.
Company Hats
Before and after hard hat hours, your crew needs a hat. Embroidered trucker hats on Richardson 112 or Yupoong 6606 are the construction industry standard. For a premium look, laser engraved leather patch hats make a statement that screams "established company." Hand-digitized embroidery means your logo looks sharp, not blobby.
Cold Weather Crew Gear
Nevada winters are no joke, especially at elevation or on early-morning pours. Carhartt Rain Defender hoodies, Carhartt Duck Active jackets, and heavyweight fleece crew sweatshirts keep your team warm and branded. Screen printing or embroidery, depending on the garment. Fabric durability matters when the garment is going on and off over tool belts every day.
"When buying custom construction gear, you're getting more than just a professional look. You're getting apparel that acts as a cost-effective advertisement for your company."

How to Set Up a Construction Uniform Program
A uniform program is not just a one-time order. It is a system for onboarding new hires, replacing worn gear, and keeping your entire crew looking consistent. Here is how to set one up:
| 1 | Define Your Kit - Decide what every crew member gets when they start: 3-5 crew tees, 1 hi-vis vest, 1 hat, hard hat stickers. Foremen and PMs get the polo upgrade. Seasonal additions (hoodies in fall, tanks in summer) keep the program fresh. |
| 2 | Collect Sizes - Use a simple spreadsheet or Google Form. Get chest and height measurements if possible, not just "medium" or "large." Different brands fit differently. Our sizing guide helps avoid costly exchanges. |
| 3 | Approve the Design - We mock up your logo on the actual blank and send a digital proof. Your company name, phone number, website, and any required certifications or license numbers can all be included. Free artwork setup and revisions. |
| 4 | Initial Production - We print or embroider your first run on our M&R Gauntlet GT-8 press and Happy HCD2-1501 embroidery machines. Everything in-house at our Yerington, NV shop. Typical turnaround is 7-14 business days. |
| 5 | Reorder on Demand - When you hire new people or need replacements, just call or email with sizes. We keep your artwork, screens, and digitizing files on record. Reorders produce faster and cost less per unit at higher cumulative volume. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for construction company uniforms?
No minimum. Order 6 shirts for a small crew or 500 for a large company. Screen printing is most cost-effective at 24+ pieces per design. For smaller orders, DTF transfers work great without setup costs.
Can you print on Carhartt and other brand-name workwear?
Yes. We are an authorized Carhartt decorator and source Carhartt, Red Kap, Dickies, and Berne at wholesale through SanMar and Alphabroder. We embroider or screen print your logo on any Carhartt garment available through our wholesale channels.
What is the difference between ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 hi-vis?
Class 2 covers the torso with a minimum of 775 square inches of hi-vis material and is standard for most construction environments. Class 3 requires full torso and sleeves with 1,240+ square inches, mandatory for roadway construction, flagging, and areas with traffic moving above 50 mph. We carry both and can customize either with your company logo. See our hi-vis workwear guide for more detail.
Do you offer wholesale tank tops for construction crews in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada summers demand lightweight crew gear. We source wholesale tank tops and moisture-wicking performance tees from SanMar and S&S Activewear. Screen printed with your company logo at wholesale pricing. Popular options include Gildan 2200 Ultra Cotton tanks and Sport-Tek performance tanks with moisture management.
How do reorders work for new hires?
We keep your artwork, screen setups, embroidery digitizing files, and Pantone colors on file permanently. When you hire someone new, just call (775) 230-0211 or email sales@battlebornclothing.com with the sizes you need. Reorders typically produce faster than initial orders since there is no setup required.
Is buying uniforms cheaper than renting from a uniform service?
Almost always. Uniform rental companies like Cintas and UniFirst charge $15-30 per employee per week, which adds up to $780-1,560 per person per year. A Battle Born uniform kit of 5 tees, 1 vest, and 1 hat costs $85-130 total, and you own the gear outright. No contracts, no recurring fees, no surprise charges. The math is not even close.
Outfit Your Crew. Win More Bids.
Your crew shows up before 6 AM, works in 100-degree heat or freezing wind, and builds the infrastructure that makes Nevada run. They deserve gear that works as hard as they do, with your company name on it.
