Port Authority Women's Packable Puffy Vest L851

Custom Embroidered Port Authority Women's Packable Puffy Vest (L851)

The Port Authority Women's Packable Puffy Vest (L851) is a sleeveless insulated vest with a 100% polyester shell and lining, 2.4-ounce polyfill insulation and a water-repellent coating, packable into an included dyed-to-match drawstring pouch. Offices, warehouses and distribution teams buy it as a layer people keep on indoors. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery embroiders it in-house at our Houston, Texas facility, decorating apparel and headwear since 1979.

Embroidery leads on this vest and the Port Pocket makes decoration access easy. Left chest is the standard placement and we keep it inside a quilted panel so the stitch stays flat. Because a vest is worn indoors, the logo is on display all day — worth sizing it right. Woven and leather patches suit the quilted face, and DTF print handles complex art. Every piece is decorated in our Houston shop.

Why Buyers Pick It

A vest gets worn when a jacket does not. Cold offices in July, a warehouse aisle near the dock door, a morning site visit that warms up by ten — sleeves are the first thing people take off, so a sleeveless insulated layer stays on far more hours of the year than a coat does. That is more days with your logo visible per dollar spent, plus arms free for anyone lifting, scanning or driving. The packable pouch means it lives in a desk drawer instead of on a coat rack.

Sizing

XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL and 4XL in a women's cut, with the extended sizes stocked. Order any mix of sizes on one purchase order — there is no minimum, and a single piece for one employee is perfectly normal. The full-sleeve version is the Women’s Packable Puffy Jacket L850, built on the same shell and insulation. Browse the vests collection for other cuts.

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 Packable Puffy Vest 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 Packable Puffy Vest?
It is the Port Authority Women's Packable Puffy Vest L851 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 Packable Puffy Vest, 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 L851 vest come in?
XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL and 4XL in a women's cut, so the extended sizes are covered. Sizes mix freely on one order at no minimum. The matching L850 jacket runs the same size range if you want both.

Where is the best logo placement on a vest?
Left chest, sized a little larger than you would use on a jacket, because a vest has no sleeve or hood competing for attention. We stitch inside a quilted panel so the logo lies flat, and the Port Pocket gives us clean access. You will see it on a free mockup first.

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 Packable Puffy Vest 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.

Send artwork for a free digital mockup on the L851 vest. No minimum applies — you can order a single piece — and the outerwear collection has the matching jacket.

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.
