Restaurant & Hospitality Apparel, Embroidered In House

Custom restaurant uniforms, embroidered aprons, and hotel staff apparel for teams across North Carolina. Sew NC puts your logo on the garments your crew actually wears, with every stitch and print produced in house.

Staff Apparel Built for Front of House and Back of House

Restaurant and hospitality teams put apparel through more than almost any other industry. Shifts run long, garments get stained, washed hot, and replaced often, and staff turnover means reorders are constant rather than occasional. Sew NC decorates apparel rather than manufacturing it, which means you choose the garment that fits your service style and we apply your branding to it, with all embroidery and printing handled in house in Winston-Salem.

Every logo is stitched with high-density thread or printed with inks selected to survive commercial laundering, so aprons and chef coats keep their color and definition through the wash cycles a working kitchen actually puts them through.

Choosing the Right Decoration Method for Restaurants & Hospitality

Hospitality apparel gets washed harder than most branded garments. The right decoration method depends on the fabric, the wash cycle, and how much detail your logo carries.

High-Density Embroidery

The most durable option for aprons, chef coats, and polos. Thread holds its color through commercial laundering and will not crack or peel the way ink can on heavily washed garments.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfers

A strong fit for full-color logos, smaller staff counts, and mixed garment orders. DTF reproduces gradients and fine detail on blends where embroidery would be too heavy.

Heavy-Duty Screen Printing

The most cost-effective choice for large runs of one design, like staff tees for a new location, event shirts, or merchandise sold at the counter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our in-house production, physical sample approval, and order process.

Where can I get custom aprons and restaurant uniforms made in Winston-Salem?

Sew NC produces branded hospitality apparel from its shop at 121 Back Forty Drive in Winston-Salem, and ships to restaurants, bars, and hotels across North Carolina, including Greensboro, High Point, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham. Every order is embroidered or printed in house, so nothing gets sent out to a third party.

Send your logo along with your garment preferences, quantities, and size breakdown. We digitize the artwork for embroidery or prepare it for print, then send a physical stitched or printed sample for approval before the rest of the order is produced. Vector files (.ai or .eps) work best, but a lower-resolution logo can usually be rebuilt.

Yes. Most hospitality orders mix garment types, and a single order can combine embroidered aprons, chef coats with stitched names, printed staff tees, and polos for front of house. Each garment is matched to the decoration method that suits its fabric and wash cycle.

Sew NC is built for volume orders rather than single pieces, which keeps per-unit pricing down as your staff count grows. Send your headcount and garment mix and we will confirm the minimum and price break that applies.

Yes. Many restaurants already buy garments they like and only need the branding applied. Ship them to the Winston-Salem shop with your logo and we handle the decoration. If you would rather we source the blanks, we can quote garments and decoration together.

Yes. Hospitality garments are decorated with the wash cycle in mind: high-density thread for aprons and chef coats that go through hot commercial washing, and print methods selected for fabrics that will not tolerate heavy stitching. This is the main reason embroidery is recommended over print for back of house apparel.
