Port Authority Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket. L324

Custom Embroidered Port Authority Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket (L324)

The Port Authority Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket (L324) is a women's-cut bonded soft shell with a 100% polyester woven shell over a water-resistant film insert and a polyester microfleece lining, rated 1000MM waterproof and 1000G/M2 breathable, with welded detailing on the pockets and elbows. Property managers, field reps and on-site supervisors wear it over business clothes. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery embroiders it in-house at our Houston, Texas facility, decorating apparel since 1979.

Embroidery is the lead method and the welded panels give it room. Left chest is standard; the zippered chest pocket sits high on the opposite side, so we place the logo clear of it. A back yoke carries a company name at readable size. Woven and leather patches suit the technical look of the welded detailing, and DTF print handles detailed art. Every job is decorated in our Houston building.

Product Features

• 100% polyester woven shell bonded to a water-resistant film insert with a 100% polyester microfleece lining

• Welded detailing on the pockets and at the elbows for a sharp, technical look

• Zippered chest pocket, front pockets with welding details, open hem; XS through 4XL in five colors

Why Buyers Pick It

The reason to spend a little more than the base soft shell is what it does over business clothes. It is trim enough to wear into a client meeting without looking like site gear, the welded pockets and elbows read as deliberate design rather than workwear, and the interior storm flap keeps rain out of a blouse collar. The zippered chest pocket is the quiet winner — a badge, a phone or a set of keys stays put while you are walking a property in the wind.

Sizing

Sizes run XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL and 4XL in a women's cut, including the extended XXL, 3XL and 4XL. Mix the run however your team falls — there is no minimum and no tier to reach, so one jacket in one size is a valid order. The men's version is the Port Authority Welded Soft Shell J324, built the same way, so a mixed team matches. See the jackets collection for more.

How to Order

Tell us quantity, colors and sizes — any mix works, and there is no minimum, so ordering a single piece is fine. A free digital mockup comes back for your approval first. After approval, the Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket takes 7–10 business days in production and most orders ship free by ground. Rush production is available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket?
It is the Port Authority Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket. L324 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.

Can we order just one to start?
Yes. No minimum applies to the Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket, and a single piece is perfectly normal for us. Most buyers order one sample, confirm the fit and thread colors, then release the full quantity. Caps are the one exception in our catalog — embroidered caps start at 12 pieces. Everything in outerwear has no minimum.

What sizes does the L324 come in?
XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL and 4XL in a women's cut, so the extended sizes are covered. You can mix sizes freely on one order because there is no minimum. The men's J324 runs XS through 4XL if you need both.

Where does the logo go around the chest pocket?
We place the left chest embroidery clear of the zippered chest pocket so nothing overlaps and the zipper still runs freely. A back yoke is the usual second placement for a company name. Both are shown to scale on your free digital mockup.

Do we pay setup again on a repeat order?
No. Your digitized artwork lives on file at our Houston shop. Send the reorder, reference the same logo, and we run it as-is — no re-digitizing, no repeat setup charge.

Will our logo look the same on a jacket and a shirt?
It will. We use the same digitized file across the Women's Welded Soft Shell Jacket and the rest of your apparel, adjusting only for fabric. Caps can ride along on the same order, though caps start at 12 pieces while apparel does not.

How fast can you turn this around?
Standard production is 7–10 business days after proof approval. If you have an event date, ask for rush — we handle every step in Houston, so we can usually compress the schedule when it matters.

Ask for a free digital mockup of your logo on the L324. There is no minimum — a single piece is fine — and the outerwear collection covers the rest of the range.

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.
