Port Authority Team Jacket. JP56

Custom Embroidered Port Authority Team Jacket (JP56)

The Port Authority Team Jacket (JP56) is a hooded, water-repellent team jacket with a 100% Teklon nylon shell, 1.5-ounce polyfill in the sleeves and a 6.5-ounce polyester sweatshirt fleece lining through the body and hood. Booster clubs, school programs, sponsors and outdoor crews buy it for sideline and cold weather use. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery embroiders it in-house at our Houston, Texas facility, where we have decorated apparel and headwear since 1979.

Embroidery leads, and this jacket is built for it: the Port Pocket gives our operators clean access to the garment, which makes a large back design straightforward rather than awkward. A full back team name or sponsor block, a left chest crest and a sleeve number is the classic combination. Woven and leather patches work for award panels and year patches, and DTF print handles detailed mascot art. All of it is done in-house in Houston.

Why Buyers Pick It

This is the sideline jacket, and it earns its place on volume of use rather than on styling. Fleece lining through the body and hood plus polyfill sleeves means it is genuinely warm at a night game, the hook-and-loop cuffs seal out wind, and the nylon shell sheds a drizzle. What makes it a decorator's favorite is the Port Pocket: it opens the garment up so a full back design stitches cleanly. Six school colors and a run to 6XL cover a roster, a coaching staff and a parent order in one style.

Sizing

XS through 6XL, ten sizes, with 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL and 6XL all available — useful when a booster order has to fit players and parents from the same list. Mix sizes and colors on one order without hitting a quantity tier, because there is no minimum: one jacket for a single coach is a real order. Add embroidered caps from the headwear collection and note that caps start at 12 pieces while this jacket does not. More in the jackets collection.

How to Order

Send us your logo in any usable format and tell us the colors and sizes you want. There is no minimum on the Team Jacket — order a single piece or several hundred. We send a free digital mockup showing the embroidery at actual size and position, and nothing is stitched until you approve it. Production runs 7–10 business days after approval, and ground shipping is free on most orders. Rush production is available on request for season deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Team Jacket?
It is the Port Authority Team Jacket. JP56 decorated with your logo. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery is a decorator, not a blank-goods supplier: we buy the garment and put your mark on it, embroidering every piece in-house at our own Houston, Texas facility. We have been doing it since 1979, and your artwork never leaves our building.

Is there a minimum order?
No. There is no minimum on the Team Jacket. Order a single piece if that is all you need, or several hundred for a full rollout — the process is the same either way. Caps are the one exception in our catalog — embroidered caps start at 12 pieces. Everything in outerwear has no minimum.

Is the JP56 warm enough for winter?
It is the warmest team-style jacket in this group: a 6.5-ounce polyester sweatshirt fleece lining through the body and hood, 1.5-ounce polyfill in the sleeves, and elastic cuffs with hook and loop closures to seal out wind. Sizes run XS through 6XL.

Can you embroider a large design on the back?
Yes. The JP56 includes a Port Pocket for decoration access, which lets us open the garment and stitch a full back team name or sponsor block cleanly. Left chest and sleeve placements are available at the same time. Every placement appears on the free mockup.

Do you keep our artwork on file for reorders?
Yes. We digitize your logo once and keep the embroidery file on our system in Houston. Reorders run off that same file, so the stitch matches the first order and there is no new setup to pay for.

Can we put the same logo on other items?
Yes. One digitized file runs on the Team Jacket, polos, hoodies, bags and more, so a whole uniform program matches. You can mix apparel and caps on a single order — apparel has no minimum, while caps start at 12 pieces.

How long does an order take?
7–10 business days from the moment you approve the free digital mockup. Rush production is available on request — give us your in-hands date when you send artwork and we will tell you straight away if it is workable.

Send your team art for a free digital mockup on the JP56. No minimum on the jacket — order a single piece — and browse the outerwear collection for lighter layers.

1. After your order is placed, we enter it into our system and send an "Artwork & Mockup Approval" email within 24-36 hours. This is to verify design, design placement, size, and product colors.
2. Once you approve the artwork mockup, we create the .dst file (stitch file). This file is used to tell our embroidery machines what to stitch. Note: Cancellation after this step incurs a $30 restocking fee.
3. We create a sewout and/or update the mockup using the .dst file and send it to you for approval. It's at this point where you want to make sure all colors, size, and placement are as requested.
4. You may request changes to the same design before sewout and/or .dst approval. A completely new design request at this stage incurs a $30 fee.
5. After final approval, production begins. Once items are decorated, the order is non-refundable unless there is a defect in the product or decoration.

A $30 setup fee is automatically added to the cart and required for all orders. This covers the order processing costs.
