Why Fit Matters

Common Fit Issues

What to Look For

- correct sleeve and leg length
- consistent sizing across orders
For Businesses: Consistency Is Key
When ordering for teams, inconsistent sizing causes:
- returns and delays

FAQs
Should workwear be tight or loose?
Neither, it should allow movement without excess fabric.
Does fit affect durability?
Yes. Poor fit increases strain and reduces lifespan.
Can poorly fitted workwear slow production?
Definitely. Workwear that is too tight or too loose is going to feel uncomfortable as soon as you wear it. This will only get worse over a longer period of time. Ensure you choose the correct fit from the start.
Should we add our company logo to our workwear?
Yes. yes. yes. Depending on the workwear you purchase can decide whether to go with embroidered or printed logos. For durability and longevity we would 100% recommend embroidered logos. However, for a product like hi-vis vests which do not tend to have a long life span then we would recommend printed logos as these tend to be more cost effective.
