Hi vis shirts get so dirty so quick

[Gorman]

Anyone have any ideas of to keep high vis shirts from looking like a mechanic's hand rag? I'm getting new shirts made with high quality wicking polyester and it just seems this type of shirt doesn't look good very long. As we all know high visibility on the job site is paramount so is there anyway around this?

Maybe not get the entire shirt Hi- Vis. Try and keep the stomach and back non Hi Vis and see if that helps. I agree though, they get dirty in no time and washing them doesn't seam to help at all.

That would be nice if I could get a shirt with separate colors like that. I'll look into it.

Some are made where just the sleeves and the chest are Hi Vis. They are out there, just have to search.

Oh yea. Those are real nice. But that's a lot of cheddar.

Oxy-Clean Dude. Two scoops and my HiViz shirts look lovely. I usually tear up all my work shirts before they get to grungey.

I've tried that mixed with borax and it didn't do anything. Hrm. Maybe I should use more.

Anything passing through the colon is going to come out looking rough. High wicking or not. Consider another form of fiber?

Damn. Didn't catch that. Poop will do that.

I'm gonna go with the regular polyester ones for the crew but I think I'm gonna buy a couple of these for el jefe (moi) for personal comfort. Have you checked out the stein shirts? Similarly priced but a bit different.

I alway carry an extra new shirt in the truck. That way at least there is the option of changing out if you need to visit a new customer or go finish up with the present customer.

On that note, an extra pair of socks is nice to change out at lunch break. A dry set of feet put a spring in my step.
