The vest your field team throws on over a hoodie in January and keeps reaching for through March.
Carhartt. On a construction site, a Carhartt label does more reputation work than a business card ever could. Crews recognize it, clients respect it, and employees actually want to wear it home. When your logo rides next to the Carhartt name, you borrow decades of job-site credibility without saying a word.
The Gilliam Vest was built for teams who work outside when the weather turns. Rain Defender DWR sheds moisture and Wind Fighter technology cuts through exposed-site gusts, so your crew stays productive without reaching for a full jacket. The right chest sits clean and flat on the Cordura shell, giving your embroidered logo a sharp, readable surface that holds up through a full season of daily wear.
The relaxed fit layers comfortably over work shirts and mid-layers without bunching or restricting movement. Cordura nylon is notoriously tough, which means this vest won’t look beat up after a hundred wears. That’s the kind of longevity that makes a branded gift keep showing up long after the order ships.
- Rain Defender DWR and Wind Fighter tech keep crews comfortable on open, exposed sites without adding the bulk of a full jacket.
- 100g polyester insulation provides real, functional warmth as a layering piece built for working conditions.
- Triple-stitched main seams hold up to daily job-site use that would shred cheaper outerwear.
- Multiple pockets including two interior options keep phones and small tools secured during active work.
- Drawcord drop tail hem locks out cold air at the waist, a small detail that earns big appreciation on long outdoor shifts.

Carhartt’s own label occupies the left chest pocket, making the right side chest your primary embroidery placement. It reads cleanly and crisply on the Cordura shell. For crews needing brand visibility at a distance on site, pair right chest embroidery with a small upper back center or upper back placement for full coverage front and back.
