Hemp
One of the most environmentally-friendly fabrics available, hemp is made from the Cannabis Savita plant. It doesn’t require harmful chemicals to make, is highly renewable, and feels great on skin even in hot weather. It is a strong fabric, making it suitable for a range of workplace applications.
Cotton
An all-natural option, cotton remains a popular choice for work uniforms. This material is breathable, versatile and relatively low-maintenance. It is also hypoallergenic, making it a practical choice for those with sensitive skin.
Polycotton
Polycotton is a blended material which combines the soft, absorbable nature of cotton with the durable, lightweight properties of polyester. Utilising recycled polyester, it is an effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to virgin polyester. The material has a low chance of shrinkage, and can be ironed.
Recycled polyester
A man-made fabric, our polyester is a popular, affordable option ideal for uniforms. Our recycled polyester is made from PET, which is a common ingredient in water bottles. As a fully recycled material it is a great choice for environmentally-conscious businesses. It has a fleece-like texture.
Extra wide fabrics
In addition to our regular options, we can also supply extra wide 320cm fabric by the metre. This material is ideal for bespoke tablecloths, and is a polycotton mix. Available in plain and textured, with a range of colours available.
