Don't they usually leave off any conspicuous branding from logo apparel? This in order not to do free advertising for the producer when they're supposed to be doing advertising for the logo company. Seems like it wouldn't be a problem for the producers. I also thought that third party companies did the business of putting different logos on.
Both have happened. B2B is messy, and some brands are whores (looking at you Columbia).
From a sewing perspective, doing the embroidery at assembly time is easier and higher quality, but the order quantity needs to be huge to justify the setup.
I'm inclined to take the rogue employee argument at face value in this particular case.
With regards to embroidered and customized apparel... the question usually is "how much".
If Brownells went to Arc'teryx and says they want ten thousand units, they'll get their ten thousand units.

and they don't seem to have issues with the popularity of their gear amongst USSOCOM or police/military, they even make a special line for them!
