Independent Trading Co. Mens Water Resistant Windbreaker Coachs Jacket | EXP99CNB

Description

The Independent Trading Co. EXP99CNB is the coach’s jacket that shows up everywhere from brewery staff uniforms to indie record label merch drops. Water-resistant nylon shell with a taffeta lining gives it that classic lightweight windbreaker feel — the kind of jacket that gets worn year-round in mild climates and layered over hoodies when it gets cold. Snap front closure and a clean chest panel make it one of the most embroidery-friendly outerwear pieces in the blank market.

Who Orders It

Breweries and taprooms outfit their floor staff in these. Music venues use them for crew jackets. Athletic programs order them as sideline warmups. Streetwear brands build seasonal drops around the silhouette. Restaurants with outdoor seating give them to hosts and servers. Corporate teams use them as lightweight branded outerwear for trade shows and outdoor events. Nonprofits running outdoor programs keep them on hand for volunteers.

Decoration

Left chest embroidery is the standard move — the smooth nylon face holds stitching cleanly without puckering. Back embroidery works well for larger logos. Screen printing is possible but requires plastisol inks rated for nylon; water-based inks won’t adhere properly. Heat transfers work on the nylon shell with appropriate temperature settings. The snap placket means full-front prints need to work around the closure. Most programs stick to chest and back placements.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Embroidery is the cleanest option on nylon outerwear. The smooth surface holds detailed logos without distortion. Screen printing requires nylon-compatible plastisol inks — standard water-based inks will not bond to the fabric.

Is this warm enough for cold weather?
It’s a windbreaker, not insulated outerwear. Works well as a layering piece over hoodies or for mild weather. Most buyers use it for spring, fall, and indoor-outdoor staff who need light coverage.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a classic relaxed coach’s jacket fit. Not slim cut — designed to layer comfortably over other garments. Order your standard size unless you want a tighter fit.

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.
