Independent Trading Co. Men’s Nylon Anorak | EXP94NAW

Description

The Independent Trading Co. EXP94NAW is a pullover nylon anorak built for programs that need a layering piece with presence. Half-zip construction, kangaroo pocket, and a hood with drawcord adjustment — the kind of outerwear that travels from staff uniform to customer merch without looking like an afterthought. Lightweight nylon shell moves easily and packs down small, making it the jacket people actually bring.

Who Orders It

Breweries outfit taproom staff and build merch collections customers will wear outside the four walls. Outdoor recreation programs and summer camps use it as the go-to rain layer that fits over everything else. Event production crews order it for teams working early mornings and late nights. Surf and skate brands run it as a seasonal drop piece. Corporate retreat planners grab it when the venue is coastal or mountainside and attendees need something practical that still carries the brand.

Decoration

Embroidery is the primary method — the structured nylon front panel holds logos cleanly up to 8,000 stitches without puckering. Left chest and back yoke placements work best. Screen printing is possible but requires plastisol inks formulated for nylon — water-based inks won’t adhere properly. Heat transfers work well for smaller runs. DTG is not recommended on nylon substrates. If you’re running a large order with complex artwork, we’ll walk you through the best approach for the design.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on nylon?
Embroidery is the cleanest option for nylon outerwear. The structured front panel handles detailed logos without distortion. Screen printing requires nylon-compatible plastisol inks — standard water-based inks won’t bond to the fabric.

Is this actually waterproof?
Water-resistant, not waterproof. It handles light rain and morning dew without soaking through, but it’s not a technical rain shell. Think brewery patio weather, not backcountry storm gear.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. It’s cut to layer over a hoodie or midweight fleece without feeling restrictive. If your team runs large, size up — nylon doesn’t stretch.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
