This is a solid lineman design and I mean that literally. Its a silhouette of a utility worker climbing a power pole, gear on, lines running out to each side, the whole thing captured in that clean bold profile style that reads well at any size. Nothing cluttered about it. You get the pole structure, the worker's body shape, the climbing hooks, and the horizontal lines all working together without fighting for attention. Its the kind of design that trade workers actually want to wear rather than just something cute about their job.
No dimension data is on file for this one, so you'll want to run a test stitch before committing to your final fabric. The silhouette style uses a single dark fill color which keeps thread changes low and stitching time short. Cutaway stabiliser is the right call here for any knit garment like a polo or work shirt. Keep hoop tension firm since the long diagonal lines in the pole structure can shift if the fabric has any give to it.
Left chest on a work shirt is where most people put this, and thats exactly right for it. A customer sent me a photo on a dark navy crew-neck sweatshirt and it was honestly one of the better ones I've seen from this design. Also runs nicely on a canvas work bag or a cap front if the file fits your hoop. Tonal thread in a slightly lighter dark can give the pole some dimension if you want to split it into two colors.
Drop me a chat note if the file isnt working for your setup and Ill sort it out fast.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Left chest work shirt embroideryThe bold silhouette reads cleanly on a left chest work shirt even from a distance, which is exactly what trade workers want.
- Crew neck sweatshirt frontDark navy or charcoal sweatshirt fabric makes this design pop without needing any color changes in the stitching.
- Lineman appreciation gift toteA canvas tote with this design centered on the front panel works as a gift for linemen or utility crew members.
- Cap front placementCap front placement works if your hoop is large enough for the full pole width, usually a 4-inch wide cap hoop handles it.
- Canvas work bag panelWork bag canvas carries the single-color silhouette cleanly, no stabiliser drama since the fabric is woven and stiff.
- Electrician uniform chest logoCompanies have used this for uniform chest logos when they want something more distinctive than plain text.
- Retirement gift hoodie backHoodie back placement with the name arched above makes a strong retirement gift that trade workers actually keep.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
