What Lubbock's weather means for restaurants and bars
Roughly 92 days a year reach 90°F here, so order the summer batch of staff tees well before the July peak, in a lighter weight than the ones the crew wears in winter. Patio evenings turn cool from November to February, with January averaging a high of just 55°F, so stock staff hoodies for the patio and put the same pullover on the retail shelf for the holidays. January lows average 27°F, so the crew leaving a late close needs more than a kitchen tee; order the winter staff layer in the same color as the summer shirt so the team still looks uniform. Closing staff step into freezing air on about 84 nights a year, so a lined hoodie or jacket with the logo makes a practical staff gift for the holidays.

Ordering from Lubbock
When do patio staff in Lubbock need a warmer layer?
Whenever highs fall below 65°F, which here means from November to February; January nights average at or below freezing, so the layer for late patio shifts should be a real hoodie or jacket, not a long-sleeve tee.
