Put your logo on the Corbet line
All ten Corbet pieces sit on our Marine Layer page with live pricing at your quantity.
Marine Layer's Corbet line is the one we quote most for Q4 outerwear, and we now carry all ten pieces in men's and women's. You can see the full lineup on our custom Marine Layer page. Every piece takes embroidery at a 24-piece minimum per style, and standard production runs 25 business days.
The quilted fabric is the whole reason this line sells. Marine Layer spins a superfine top-dyed melange yarn into its signature Corbet quilt, which reads as a texture rather than a pattern. On a branded piece that matters more than it sounds. A logo on flat fleece looks like company apparel. The same logo on the Corbet looks like a jacket somebody chose.
Pricing splits into three bands at volume. The quilted crew pullover sits at $80, the full-zip vest at $92, and the 1/4-zip pullover, full-zip hoodie, full-zip jacket, and women's bomber at $111. Those are the floor prices you reach at the top volume tier. Each card below shows your exact per-piece price at your quantity.
Here is which piece fits which order, how the minimums and lead times work, and what to plan around if these are landing before the end of the year.
Why the Corbet works as branded outerwear
Most branded outerwear fails in one of two ways. It is cheap, so it goes to the donation pile in March. Or it is decent but anonymous, so it joins the stack of logo fleeces nobody reaches for. The Corbet avoids both, and the reasons are structural.
You cannot buy it blank anywhere. Marine Layer does not sell the Corbet into the blanks market, so a recipient cannot price-check the piece against a wholesale listing. That sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between a gift and a uniform.
The quilt does the work your logo cannot. Texture carries a piece in a way a flat surface does not, and embroidery sits into the quilt cleanly rather than puckering across it. We put the mark on small and let the fabric carry the rest, and our guide to printing techniques covers how placement changes on a textured face.
One line covers a wide budget. A crew pullover and a full-zip jacket come from the same fabric and the same family, which means a mixed order still looks like one program. You can put the vest on a 200-person all-hands and the jacket on a sales team without the two looking unrelated.
The custom Marine Layer Corbet collection
We carry ten Corbet pieces. These are the pairings we build around, men's and women's together, because a program that only fits half a team is not a program.
The quilted 1/4-zip pullover
This is the piece we quote more than any other Corbet style, in men's and women's. It is midweight, so it works indoors over a shirt and outdoors in October, and the quarter-zip collar gives the logo a clean flat panel to sit on. The fabric here is 79 percent polyester and 21 percent rayon, the softer of the two Corbet constructions. Pick this one when the order has to work across a whole company rather than a single team.
The quilted crew pullover
Your entry point into the line, and the one that makes the budget math work on a large run. The men's crew and the women's crew use the same quilted fabric as the 1/4-zip in a plain crewneck, which reads more casual and layers under a shell. If you are ordering for several hundred people and the per-piece number has to come down, start here rather than dropping to a different brand.
The full-zip vest
Our shoulder-season pick, and the safest choice for a mixed audience. A vest fits more body types than a jacket, it layers over almost anything, and it gets worn in offices that run cold year round. The men's vest and women's vest are what we suggest when a client wants outerwear but the recipients are spread across several climates.
The full-zip hoodie
Warmer than an average hoodie, with enough insulation to work as a light jacket. The hood makes the men's and women's versions read weekend rather than office, which is the point for a younger team or a company offsite. Both are built on the cotton and rayon blend, so they carry more weight in the hand than the quilted pullovers.
The full-zip jacket and the women's bomber
Recognition pieces, both of them. We put the men's full-zip jacket and the women's bomber in front of teams buying for a work anniversary, a closed deal, or an executive handout, and the bomber cut gives the women's side a real silhouette rather than a resized men's jacket. At this tier the piece has to survive a skeptical look from the person receiving it, and both of these do.
How custom Marine Layer Corbet orders work
The rules hold across all ten pieces, and they are simpler than most of what we carry.
Minimums are 24 pieces per style. Per style, not per order. A 48-piece order can be 24 vests and 24 jackets, but it cannot be 12 of each. This is the single most common thing buyers get wrong on a first Corbet quote, so plan the lineup around multiples of 24.
Decoration is embroidery. Placements are front, back, left sleeve, and right sleeve. Quilted fabric takes a stitch well, and we will tell you if a mark is too fine to hold at the size you want before anything runs.
Standard production is 25 business days. That is five working weeks from mockup approval, not from the day you ask. Rush is available, and we will give you a real date rather than one we have not checked.
Pricing steps down eight times. The breaks land at 48, 72, 144, 250, 288, 500, and 1,000 pieces. The move from 24 to 1,000 takes roughly 29 percent off the per-piece number on the pieces we checked, and most of that drop arrives by 288.
What a Corbet order costs
Three lanes cover most of what we quote.
A large run on the crew pullover. The $80 floor on the quilted crew is the lowest entry into the line, and on a several-hundred-piece order it is the piece that keeps a company-wide rollout inside budget.
Pairing vests with pullovers. Putting the $92 vest alongside the crew or the 1/4-zip is the most common shape we see, because it covers a range of climates and body types without adding a second brand to the invoice.
Twenty-four jackets or bombers. At the $111 band these are recognition pieces rather than headcount pieces. Twenty-four of them for a sales team or a leadership group does more than two hundred of something cheaper.
Those floor numbers are what the line reaches at its top volume tier. At a 24-piece run the same pieces land meaningfully higher, and the card on each section above shows the real number at the quantity you are ordering. If you want it in writing, the quote comes back the same day.
How to order Corbet for your team
1. Pick the pieces and the split. Tell us the headcount, the men's and women's mix, and where these are going, and we will come back with two or three that work together. Or build it yourself in Pack Builder and watch the per-piece price move as the quantity climbs.
2. Send your logo. Vector files work best. We will tell you whether the mark holds in thread at the size you want, and on a quilted face we will flag a placement that would fight the texture. Artwork setup is included in the quote.
3. Approve the mockup. Placement, thread colors, and final per-piece pricing all get signed off before production starts. A blank sample runs $115 on the crew pullover if you want to put hands on the fabric first.
4. Choose how it ships. One address, or Claim Pages so each person picks their own size and enters their own address. On outerwear that choice matters more than on anything else, because a jacket in the wrong size does not get worn. Leftover stock can sit in storage and go out to new hires through the following year.
Frequently asked questions about custom Marine Layer Corbet
Is the Corbet worth the step up from a standard branded fleece?
If the piece is going to someone whose opinion you care about, yes. A standard fleece at half the price gets worn to take the bins out. The Corbet gets worn to a client meeting, and the reason is the fabric rather than the label. If the order is headcount merch for a warehouse team, a standard fleece is the right call and we will say so.
Corbet or the Patagonia Better Sweater for a company-wide rollout?
Patagonia on minimum, Corbet on feel. Patagonia runs six pieces per style and color against Marine Layer's 24, so a small or multi-style order is easier to build there, and we cover the embroidered Better Sweater program separately. The Corbet wins when the whole order is one or two styles and you want the piece to feel less like standard corporate apparel.
Which Corbet piece should we pick for a mixed audience?
The full-zip vest. It fits more body types than a jacket, works across climates, and nobody has strong feelings about a vest the way they do about a hood. For a group spread across several offices it is the piece that generates the fewest size complaints.
Does quilted fabric hold embroidery cleanly?
Yes, and it hides a dense stitch better than flat fleece does. The quilt gives the needle something to sit in, so a mark with fine detail holds its shape instead of pulling. We still keep logos small on this fabric, because a large mark fights the texture rather than sitting on it.
Can we mix Corbet styles to hit the 24-piece minimum?
No. The minimum is 24 per style, so a 24-vest and 24-jacket order is 48 pieces in total. Buyers assume the minimum is per order and build a lineup that cannot be produced, which is the thing most likely to send a quote back for a rebuild.
How far ahead should we order Corbet for a December handout?
Start now. Production is 25 business days from mockup approval, which is five working weeks, and artwork and sign-off add a week in practice. Working back from mid-December, the first week of November is the honest cutoff, and the last two weeks of December take working days out of the back end. Our Q4 planning guide has the full calendar.
Outerwear earns its budget slowly and then all at once. ASI's 2026 Ad Impressions Study puts a promotional outerwear piece at roughly 9,000 brand impressions across its lifetime, more than any other category it measured. That holds the cost per impression under half a cent even at the top of this line. PPAI's consumer research, covering 5,674 end users across the US and Canada, found that 48.7 percent of people keep promotional products for more than five years, and usefulness beat the label on it as the reason. The piece that gets kept is the one that fit and felt right, which is the whole argument for spending more on fewer jackets. Gallup found that only one in three US workers strongly agree they received recognition in the past seven days, and that people who feel under-recognized are twice as likely to say they will quit within the year. A jacket is not a recognition program, but it is a better carrier for one than a gift card. For how outerwear sits inside a wider budget, our client gift guide splits spend across tiers.
Noah Jolly runs Merchwell, which builds custom merch programs for companies from forty-person startups to Affirm, Capital One, and PepsiCo. If these are going to people on their first day, start with our guide to new hire welcome kits instead. The rest of the brands we carry sit alongside Marine Layer on one quote.
