ARV Construction Crew Keeps Cool & Comfortable with New Premium Cotton Shirts

HILLSBORO, OR – October 26, 2023 – ARV Construction LLC, a leading construction firm based in Hillsboro, Oregon, is rolling out a new line of premium cotton shirts for its hardworking crews. It’s not just about looking good on the jobsite – though they do look good! – it’s about boosting comfort and performance in demanding conditions. We sat down with ARV Construction’s management team to get the inside scoop on why they chose cotton and what this means for their team and, potentially, for you. “We’re a company built on solid work and solid people,” says Mark Olsen, Project Manager at ARV Construction. “And happy, comfortable workers are productive workers. We were looking for a shirt that could stand up to the Oregon elements – heat, cold, rain, you name it – but still feel good against the skin. A lot of synthetic materials just don't cut it for a full day of physical labor.” ARV Construction, located at 1220 SE Fir Grove Loop, Hillsboro, OR, 97123-8807, has been serving the Pacific Northwest with high-quality construction services for over a decade. They specialize in everything from residential remodels and commercial build-outs to large-scale infrastructure projects. Their commitment to detail and client satisfaction has earned them a reputation for reliability and excellence. But even the best builders recognize that taking care of their team is paramount. Why Cotton? It's More Than Just a Fabric. “We looked at a lot of options,” explains Sarah Chen, ARV’s Operations Manager. “Polyester, blends, even some high-tech moisture-wicking materials. But we kept coming back to cotton. It’s breathable, it’s soft, and it feels good, even when you’re sweaty. And let’s be honest, construction work is sweaty work!” The shirts ARV chose aren’t just any cotton shirts. They’re made with a heavier-weight, ringspun cotton that’s designed to be durable and long-lasting. Ringspun cotton means the fibers are combed to remove shorter fibers and impurities, resulting in a smoother, stronger fabric. This isn't the flimsy stuff you get at a big-box store. “We wanted something that would hold up to daily wear and tear, wash after wash,” Chen adds. “We’re tough on our clothes, and we wanted a shirt that could keep up.” Features That Matter on the Jobsite Beyond the basic fabric, ARV Construction selected shirts with features specifically geared towards construction workers: Durable Construction: Reinforced seams and a sturdy collar ensure the shirts can withstand the rigors of a busy jobsite. No ripping or fraying after a few weeks of use. Generous Fit: The shirts are cut with a relaxed, comfortable fit that allows for a full range of motion. No binding or restricting movement, even when reaching, bending, or lifting. Functional Design: A practical chest pocket provides a convenient place to store pens, small tools, or a phone. Simple, but effective. Moisture-Wicking (Surprisingly!): While 100% cotton isn't known for moisture-wicking, the heavier weight, breathable weave ARV chose actually helps to absorb sweat and keep workers cooler and more comfortable. It’s not a technical fabric, but it gets the job done. Easy Care: The shirts are machine washable and dryable, making them easy to care for, a huge win for busy crews. Boosting Morale and Performance ARV Construction isn’t just focused on the practical benefits of the new shirts. They also recognize the importance of morale. “We want our guys to feel good about what they do, and that includes looking and feeling good while they’re doing it,” Olsen says. “When you’re comfortable, you’re more confident, and that translates to better work.” The shirts have been a hit with the crew. Reports are coming in of increased comfort, improved productivity, and even a boost in team spirit. The shirts are proudly worn on job sites all over the Portland metro area, serving as a visible symbol of ARV Construction’s commitment to quality and its people.
