I figure there are some outdoorsy guys here that might have a lead on what I am looking for.
I just am not using the right search terms in my online looking.
I have a small crew of guys who work outdoors in construction related activities. I really need them branded when around clients. I have gotten a few comments about an all weather jacket, like a zip front anorak would be much appreciated. Yeah, it is a little past jacket season, but by the time I get the jackets, get them stitched, it will almost be fall. I hate what is offered by the company logo providers, so I buy good stuff and get it stitched. What I need is a mountain anorak type hooded jacket with a full front zipper. Not nylon, something tougher. Big/deep hood. Black. Suggestions?
Dickies? Carhartt? Mountain Khakis?
Just a couple companies that jump out right away.
one thought.. I work construction and some of it occurs outdoors in the winter, Because of the wide temperature swings throughout the day here I prefer to layer up rather than use a single bulky jacket.
Same as def90
I use a hoodie, beanie, gloves and a heavy carhartt and have for 2 decades other than an arctic 3/4 jacket for running open cab equipment in winter I much prefer the layers
When I was ordering gear for my crews we had uniform shirts and all the standard catalogs of stitched clothing. After everyone ruined their overpriced catalog jackets in a few months I finally convinced them to get carhartts.
Carhartt has its downfalls but nothing holds up to construction better
Wahl makes carhartt type jackets, coats and bibs as well. They seem to be pretty well made and are usually considerably cheaper.
Carhartt's Active Jac is basically a full zip hoodie, but cotton duck instead of sweatshirt material. Roomy and allow for free movement.

sorry, I left out non-insulated. More of a rain and wind jacket. The guys layer up under. That way it is a nearly year round item. Longer than waist, maybe to the hip. Deep hood.

Fj?llr?ven. Expensive as all get out but burlier than anything else out there. Waxable for higher level of water resistance. Generous cut for layering. I bought one at 40% off and it was painful but it is a lifetime garment.

Check out Duluth trading company. They have the no bull warranties on their stuff and it can be found cheap when on sale. They are typically sized a bit bigger than most.
Or carhartt as others have mentioned.
Pretty sure he's asking about Aramark uniform clothes, and not high dollar stuff.
