How it works
Embroidery at Glacier Clothing
Hats, polos and other durable garments work well with embroidery. It holds up to work, weather and the wash, and it reads as a quality piece rather than a giveaway.
We run multi-head embroidery machines in our Columbia Falls shop, so a dozen staff polos and a resort program of thousands of garments get the same careful setup.
Fabrics that work well
- Cotton and poly pique
- Fleece and soft shell
- Canvas, duck and twill
- Knit caps
