Lineman Gift Guide

He says he doesn't need anything. He's been saying that for 15 years.

He also still wears the hat with the wrecked brim to every BBQ, so we wouldn't take his word for it.

Everything in this guide was made for people who work high voltage. Linemen, substation guys, cable splicers, relay techs, operators, troublemen. The details on these products are right, because the guy opening the box is going to check.

What's in here:

Button ups and polos he'll wear off the clock. Dinner, the lake, a work conference, the company BBQ where somebody across the yard asks where he got it.

Tees and hats built around the trade without looking like every other piece of lineman merch he's been handed.

Challenge coins and keychains for the milestones: topping out his apprenticeship, making journeyman, 20 years in, retirement.

Gear from brands we trust: Selby tools, Co Eyewear, Camel City Mill socks, and our HVI x Benchmark FR collab for gear he can wear on the job.

Lineman Gift FAQ

What do you get a lineman for Christmas?

Something he'll wear off the clock. Most linemen already have more company swag than they'll ever use, so a button up, polo or hat that looks good at dinner or a BBQ and still gets the trade right goes a lot further. Challenge coins and keychains make good add-ons or stocking stuffers.

What's a good gift for a lineman under $50?

Challenge coins, keychains, stickers, Camel City Mill socks, tees and most of our hats all come in under $50. Our Essentials polos and button ups start at $49. Check out Gifts Under $15, Gifts Under $35 and Gifts Under $50 to shop by budget.

Can he wear these shirts at work?

No. Our tees, button ups, polos and hats are off the clock apparel and aren't flame resistant. If you want something he can wear on the job, shop our HVI x Benchmark FR collection.

What's a good gift for making journeyman, an anniversary or retirement?

Challenge coins are made for those moments. Our Journeyman Lineman Challenge Coin is a popular pick for guys topping out, and a lot of customers pair a coin with a button up or polo for work anniversaries and retirements.

I'm not sure what size he wears. What if I get it wrong?

Every product page tells you how it fits, including whether it runs slimmer or looser and when to size up or down. If it still isn't right, eligible items can be exchanged within 30 days as long as they're unworn and unwashed, subject to availability. Some items, like Selby tools, clearance and certain FR products, are final sale, so check the product page before ordering.

Do you have gifts for substation workers and other crafts?

Yes. HVI makes gear for the whole high voltage industry, not just linemen. Check out Gifts for Substation Workers, and look for designs with transmission, distribution and substation equipment worked into them.
