Jackets & Outerwear

33 styles

Last updated September 14, 2026

Outerwear is the smallest-volume, highest-ticket category: 33 styles aimed at corporate programs, teams, and staff uniforms where a single embroidered jacket bills what a dozen tees do. Team 365 covers the corporate performance shells and Independent Trading the street-side nylon, with Shaka Wear's varsity jacket on the retail end.

Best for: Corporate programs, teams, and staff uniforms; a single embroidered jacket bills what a dozen tees do.
Watch out: Stitching perforates waterproof membranes, and nylon shells don't tolerate tee cure temperatures; use low-cure inks or low-temp transfers.
Anchor styles: Team 365 TT80 Leader soft shell, Independent Trading nylon windbreaker.

Who makes what

Team 365 plays the corporate-uniform position: softshells, fleece-lined shells, and performance layers priced for uniform rollouts. Independent Trading brings the windbreakers and bombers that sell as retail merch. The category buys differently than tees; programs reorder by size run for years, so style longevity matters more than novelty.

The styles that matter

The Team 365 TT80 Leader soft shell is the corporate standard: a bonded three-layer poly shell with a waterproof, windproof membrane that embroiders cleanly and covers men's, ladies', and youth runs. Independent Trading's water-resistant nylon windbreaker is the retail counterpart: snap-front, screen-print friendly, and the classic back-print canvas.

Decoration & buying notes

Embroidery is the default method: left chest on shells, working around zippers that force placement off-center. Stitching perforates a waterproof membrane, so on technical shells keep designs modest or quote a patch instead.

Nylon and coated shells don't tolerate tee-shirt cure temperatures; use low-cure inks or low-temp transfers and test on a sample panel first. Coaches jackets are the exception that loves a big screen-printed back hit.
