Embroidery through Colton's year
Sweat tests every uniform through 103 days a year at 90°F or above, and stitching passes, with no ink film to crack or peel. Fleece plays a small part: even December, the coolest month, averages a high of 69°F. Six or more months with under half an inch of rain, plus 24 days a year at 100°F or more, add up to strong sun; polyester thread holds its color in it better than rayon. Barely 9.9 inches of rain fall a year, so skip the embroidered rain shell and spend on a second cap style instead.
