Measure twice cut once: tips on choosing workwear.

Receiving the right recommendations and garment information is vital in terms of knowing what garments best suit the needs of your business, club or association.

Hard wearing poly/cotton polo shirts, trousers, sweatshirts and polyester fleeces are  vital for businesses where employees wash their garments regularly and are exposed to environmental hazzards. Customers need to be confident in the fabric they choose in terms of durability and retention of colour and shape when washed on a regular basis.

If you are a sports club looking to purchase team kit, a high a polyester content garment with a moisture management system would best suit your requirements. Ideally you want to be comfortable in your garments while playing sport, so breathable and lightweight garments are preferable. The moisture management system allows the transfer of sweat from the surface of the skin to the outer layer of the garment.

If you require garments that are more formal and presentable, then a poly/cotton Oxford or business shirt is suitable for this purpose.

Selecting the right garments for your employees or members will ensure you portray the right corporate identity for your business , club or association.
