Modern Comfort for Professional Uniforms

The Firenza Stretch Dress Vest is designed for employees who need a formal appearance without restrictive movement. Its 95% polyester and 5% spandex construction provides flexibility for reaching, walking, serving, greeting guests, and completing other active workplace responsibilities.

A finely textured surface gives the black vest an elevated appearance, while its square hem creates a contemporary silhouette that looks polished when worn untucked. The classic V-neck and six-button placket coordinate naturally with dress shirts, blouses, ties, and other professional uniform pieces.

Men’s and Ladies’ Styles

Choose men’s and ladies’ styles to create a unified appearance across your organization. Both options share consistent materials, color, and design characteristics so employees can maintain a coordinated brand presentation.

Available sizes include:

• Small

• Medium

• Large

• X-Large

• 2X-Large

• 3X-Large

Fit and sizing may differ between men’s and ladies’ styles. Confirm the appropriate garment style and size for each employee before submitting the final order.

Black Professional Uniform Vest

The Firenza Stretch Dress Vest is available in Black, a versatile uniform color that coordinates easily with a wide range of shirts, trousers, skirts, ties, and accessories.

Black also provides an effective background for contrasting embroidery thread colors, helping logos and employee identification remain clearly visible.

Functional Front Welt Pockets

Front welt pockets provide convenient storage while preserving the vest’s tailored appearance. Employees can use them for small workplace essentials appropriate to their role, helping the vest balance formal styling with daily functionality.

Custom Left-Chest Embroidery

Custom embroidery is available on the left chest only. This placement gives your logo, company name, or organization mark consistent visibility without overwhelming the vest’s professional design.

The maximum embroidery area is:

4" W × 4" H

Artwork will be scaled proportionally to fit within this area. The finished embroidery may be smaller depending on the design’s proportions, lettering size, detail, and stitch requirements.

Left-chest embroidery works well for:

• Company logos

• Hotel and restaurant branding

• Employee names

• Department identification

• Event staff logos

• Monograms

• Short business names

• Simple icons and symbols

Up to Four Embroidery Thread Colors

Each design may use up to four embroidery thread colors. Choose thread colors that provide sufficient contrast against the black vest for clear visibility.

Exact brand-color matching depends on available embroidery thread selections. If an exact color is unavailable, the closest suitable thread color may be recommended and shown on the digital proof for approval.

Artwork and Embroidery Guidelines

Clear, simplified artwork produces the best embroidery results.

Preferred File Formats

Production-ready vector artwork is recommended:

• AI

• EPS

• Vector PDF

Convert all fonts to outlines before submitting the file.

Additional Accepted Formats

The following formats may also be uploaded:

• PSD

• JPG

• PNG

• PDF

Raster artwork should be provided at the highest available resolution. The maximum upload size is 75 MB.

Design Recommendations

For the cleanest embroidered result:

• Use bold, clearly defined shapes.

• Keep lettering large enough to remain legible.

• Avoid extremely thin lines and tightly spaced details.

• Remove gradients, shadows, transparency, and photographic effects.

• Limit the design to four thread colors.

• Provide brand-color references when color accuracy is important.

• Clearly identify which thread color applies to each design element.

A traditional printing bleed is not required for embroidered apparel. The design is converted into an embroidery-ready stitch file and scaled to fit the available decoration area.

Embroidery Preparation and Tape Charge

A one-time $35 tape charge applies to the preparation of the embroidery design. This process converts the artwork into a stitch file that controls:

• Stitch type

• Stitch direction

• Stitch density

• Underlay

• Color sequence

• Final design dimensions

Fine details may need to be simplified to improve legibility and stitch quality. Any visible changes will be included in the digital proof for approval before production.

Artwork Review and Digital Proofing

Submitted artwork will be reviewed within 24 hours. The review evaluates:

• Design clarity

• Lettering size

• Line thickness

• Thread-color count

• Artwork proportions

• Left-chest placement

• Compatibility with the 4" × 4" embroidery area

A digital proof will be sent by email before production. Carefully review:

• Logo spelling and wording

• Artwork proportions

• Embroidery dimensions

• Left-chest placement

• Thread colors

• Men’s and ladies’ styles

• Garment sizes

• Quantity

• Other customization details

Production begins only after the digital proof has been approved.

Production Time

Standard production takes approximately 5–7 business days after proof approval.

Artwork preparation, proof revisions, approval time, weekends, holidays, and shipping transit are not included in the production estimate. Orders with incomplete size breakdowns or artwork requiring significant adjustment may need additional preparation time.
