Description
The Dickies LS535 is a men's industrial short-sleeve work shirt in 65/35 poly-cotton poplin at 4.25 oz. This is the classic Dickies button-front work shirt used across automotive, manufacturing, food service, and facility maintenance operations. Two chest pockets with button-through flaps, permanent collar stays, and a tail-out hem are standard industrial workwear features. Sizes S through 5XL cover the full range fleet and uniform programs need.
Embroidery is the primary decoration method for industrial work shirts. The poplin holds stitches cleanly; use cutaway stabilizer and keep designs at moderate density. Chest pockets limit the embroiderable area on the left chest, so right-chest or over-pocket placement is common. Woven name patches sew on cleanly. DTF transfers can bond to the poly-cotton poplin but test adhesion first. Screen printing is not typical on button-front work shirts but can work on the back panel for fleet branding.
