Custom Men's Joggers for Pet Grooming Shop Staff Teams

Groomers kneel, bend, reach and stand for hours, so staff bottoms need to move freely and still look deliberate when clients are in the lobby. Custom joggers can do both if you choose the cut, the fabric and the logo placement with that work in mind. This guide walks through how to choose them for a grooming team and what to know before you order.

What a grooming team needs from its bottoms

Grooming is physical work. Staff are low to the floor with a dog one minute and standing at a table the next, often with water and loose hair on their clothes. Bottoms for that setting have to give you room at the knee and hip, stay comfortable through a long shift and look neat enough that the shop reads as one team.

Joggers are a popular staff bottom for this kind of work, and they look more intentional than loose sweatpants when the shop name is on them. If you are standardizing a whole team, browse custom logo joggers to compare cuts and colors before you settle on one for everyone.

How to choose joggers for a grooming team

Look at the rise and the waistband. A waistband that digs in when someone crouches becomes a daily annoyance. Check the product page for how the waist is built, and ask your team how they like it to sit when they crouch.

Check the fabric on the product page. Fabric details differ from style to style, so read them for the exact pair you are considering. Then compare them with your shop: how long people kneel, how warm the room runs and how often the pants will be washed.

Consider the color against pet hair. Light colors show dark hair and dark colors show light hair. There is no color that hides everything, so pick based on what your clients mostly bring in and how often you plan to wash the garments.

Think about pockets. If groomers keep small tools or treats on them, check the product page to see whether the style has pockets and where they sit.

Try a sample fit first for a big team. If you are outfitting a large team, order one or two pieces first to test the fit, then place the full order. With no minimum order, this is a normal way to buy.

Decoration method and logo placement on joggers

Arklavo offers embroidery, DTG printing and heat press, with DTF on select items. Screen printing is not offered. Whichever method you pick, a mark on a pair of pants has to live with crouching, kneeling and constant movement, so keep it compact and uncomplicated.

On bottoms, placement is a design choice, because there is no obvious default the way there is for a chest. The upper left leg is a popular spot since it sits where a pocket line would be and is visible from the front. A smaller mark near the hip works for a subtle look, and a short word or the shop name running down the side of the leg can look bold in a good way. Keep the mark small enough to sit flat when the wearer moves, and keep it away from seams and pocket openings.

If the team also wears tops, think about matching the placement so the shop mark appears once on the top and once on the bottom, not three times on one outfit. For matching tops, custom under armour is one place to compare athletic styles.

Also picture the pants from the client's side of the counter. Someone waiting in the lobby sees staff standing, so a mark on the upper leg is the easiest to notice, while a mark near the hem shows mainly when a groomer kneels. Decide who you want to see it, clients or just the team, and place it for that audience.

Artwork tips

Accepted formats are PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI and EPS. Vector formats are the best choice here because a design that is shrunk to fit a leg stays sharp. Skip photos of signs and window decals.

A leg offers less room than a chest, so a logo that looks great on a sign may be too busy. A paw print, a name and a tagline stacked together usually reads better as just the name and the paw print, so trim the artwork yourself before you upload it and then check the free proof.

Sizing and reordering

Staff sizes do not always match a standard chart, so have each person try a pair they already own and compare it with the size chart on the product page. Choose the size that lets a person crouch comfortably, since sizing down to look slimmer is a poor trade for someone on the floor all day.

Grooming shops tend to change as they grow, with new groomers, bathers and front-desk hires. Reorders have no minimum, and your approved design stays on file, so adding one pair in one size does not mean placing a large order again.
