Quick Answer
The Carhartt CTK87 is a decorated workwear pocket short sleeve t-shirt for team, company and uniform programs. It is customized to order with screen printing, embroidery and direct-to-garment printing, offered in verified colorways, and built to reorder consistently — a dependable base whenever a crew needs rugged, branded t-shirts.
Fabric and Construction Overview
Built from 100% cotton jersey knit, in a 6.75 oz weight, the CTK87 is made to take a logo and take a beating. Construction highlights include rib knit, pocket, giving decorators a stable, durable surface for a clean application.
That consistency matters for a program: the same build run to run means the decorated result approved on the first order matches every reorder. Pair it across the Carhartt Shirts & Tops range for a coordinated look.
Fit and Use in the Field
The CTK87 suits everyday program wear — on the jobsite, at the client site and off the clock. Available in S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL / 4XL, it covers a full crew roster. For a mixed team, coordinate it with related Carhartt pieces so everyone matches.
Buyers outfitting larger crews often pair it with the Carhartt CT106652 and other Carhartt T-Shirts styles to complete the program.
Decoration Compatibility and Print Performance
The CTK87 is suited to screen printing, embroidery and direct-to-garment printing. Its surface gives embroiderers a stable field for dense stitch counts and gives screen printers and heat-transfer decorators clean, repeatable registration for company logos, names and safety identifiers.
Run a pre-production sample to lock placement and color, then reproduce that exact setup across the run and every reorder. Explore the wider Carhartt Shirts & Tops program to carry one logo across categories.
Program Suitability
| Program / Setting | Why the CTK87 Fits |

| Corporate and staff uniforms | A name-brand base that standardizes a professional, decorated look across a team |

| Company stores and reorders | One locked decoration setup reproduced on demand as the roster grows |
Program and Reorder Buying
Standardizing a program on the CTK87 keeps decoration simple: one approved logo, one defined base, and dependable reorders as the team grows. Coordinators reduce setup work and keep a uniform look by reusing the same decorated result across every order through the Carhartt best sellers program.
Buyer and Reorder Workflow
Choose the CTK87 and any companion styles, send your logo artwork, and approve a pre-production sample for placement and color. Once locked, that setup becomes the repeatable standard for every reorder — new hires and seasonal refreshes all receive the same decorated result.
Who Buys the CTK87 and Why
The CTK87 serves embroidery shops and screen printers building customer programs, corporate uniform and company-store buyers, trades and field crews, safety programs, schools and organizations. Each wants a rugged, name-recognized base for decorated t-shirts — see the full Carhartt T-Shirts selection.

What Sets the CTK87 Apart
Carhartt pairs jobsite-proven durability with instant name recognition. A decorated CTK87 puts your logo on gear crews actually want to wear, and the consistent build means the look you approve is the look you reorder. Carry it across the Carhartt Shirts & Tops range for a program that reads as one unit — the combination buyers rely on.

Care and Durability
Decorated Carhartt gear is built to be worn hard. Machine wash cold, turn embroidered or printed pieces inside out, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Keep high heat off heat-transfer and screen-printed graphics, and skip fabric softener on any moisture-wicking styles so the finish keeps working. These steps keep a company logo crisp and the base intact through heavy field, shop and jobsite use.
