How to Choose the Perfect Custom Jacket for Your Company Event in South Africa
A well-designed custom jacket does more than keep you warm—it unites your team and strengthens brand presence. Whether you’re planning an outdoor retreat in the Drakensberg, attending a trade expo in Cape Town, or running a team-building session in Johannesburg, the right jacket ensures your team stands out and makes a lasting impression.
Why Branded Jackets Are Event Game-Changers
- Team Unity: Matching jackets foster belonging and shared purpose.
- Brand Visibility: Your logo travels with the wearer—at expos, retreats, and community events.
- Style Meets Function: Jackets that look sharp and perform well under South African weather are versatile enough for everyday wear.
Key Considerations When Selecting Jackets
- Weather Needs: Choose water-resistant shells like the Nagano Softshell Jacket for unpredictable climates or lightweight options like the Maxson Softshell Jacket for milder events.
- Fit & Finish: Slim fits create a polished look at trade stands, while relaxed fits suit outdoor adventures.
- Longevity: Quality materials ensure your jackets last long beyond the event—stretching your investment.

For versatile, branded outerwear, here are standout choices:
The rugged yet comfortable Nagano Softshell Jacket is perfect for outdoor adventures. The budget-friendly Maxson Softshell Jacket works well for large team orders.

Customisation Options That Make Your Jacket Stand Out
- Embroidery: A raised logo that withstands wear and washing.
- Screen Printing: Bold and colourful, ideal for high-impact designs.
- Brand Colours: Use your signature palette for instant recognition.
- Logo Placement: Keep it visible on the chest or back, or go subtle with sleeve branding.
