Made for the site, not the showroom
Workwear
Workwear fails at the seams, the pockets and the knees. We build for those three places first — triple-stitched main seams, bar-tacked stress points, and fabric heavy enough to take a full shift without going transparent at the shoulder.
- Type
- Woven
- Minimum order
- Depends on the route
- Lead time
- 7 – 10 days
- Colourways
- 8+ stock colours
Overalls, boiler suits, two-piece work sets, work shirts, heavy tees and hi-vis vests, specified for the sector doing the wearing. Construction and logistics get reinforced knees and cargo pockets. Manufacturing gets closed cuffs and no loose cord. Field teams get breathability that survives a Dar es Salaam afternoon.
Reflective tape is applied to spec and stitched rather than only heat-set, because a hi-vis garment that stops being hi-vis after laundering is not a safety garment. Company marks go on in embroidery or heavy-duty transfer that will not lift.
We keep patterns on file per client so a replacement batch fits the same bodies as the last one — which matters more in workwear than anywhere else.

How to order workwear.
The minimum and the lead time both depend on the route. Pick the row that matches your brief.
Custom design on stock fabric
- Minimum
- Low
- Lead time
- 7 – 10 days
Your own design, cut from fabric we already hold. Same low quantity barrier, a little longer to make.
Custom fabric or colour
- Minimum
- 2,000 pieces
- Lead time
- Quoted per job
We source the fabric, trims and accessories for you. That is a production run of its own, which is where the 2,000 piece minimum comes from.
Woven, not knitted
This garment is woven. Fabric is sourced per order to the weight and colour the job needs, so it is specified and quoted with the enquiry rather than picked off a list.
Decoration options
- Embroidery
- Heavy-duty transfer
- Reflective tape
- Name and role badges
- DTF
All decoration is done in house, which is why a printed or embroidered garment does not add a week to your lead time.

What buyers ask
about workwear.
There is no single number, because it depends on the fabric. If we are cutting from fabric and a colour we already hold, the minimum is low and the job moves in two to three days. If you want your own design on that stock fabric, the minimum is still low and it takes seven to ten days. It is only when we source fabric, trims and accessories specially for you that the minimum becomes 2,000 pieces, because that is a production run of its own. Sublimation has no minimum at all.
No. A couple of hundred is a normal order on stock fabric, and most of our work looks like that. The 2,000 piece figure people worry about applies only to custom fabric or a custom colour, where we are buying in material specially. Tell us the quantity and the look you want and we will tell you which route it fits.
Two to three days on stock fabric in a stock colour. Seven to ten days for your own design cut from that stock fabric. Where we are sourcing fabric or a custom colour, the lead time is quoted with the job, because it depends on what the material is and where it comes from. Sublimation is also quoted per job.
Screen printing, embroidery, DTF (direct to film) and sublimation, all in the same building as the cutting and sewing. That matters for your lead time, because a decorated garment never has to travel out to a third party and back. You can mix methods on one garment: an embroidered chest mark with a printed back is a common and sensible combination.
Yes, and this is one of the cases where we are sourcing fabric specially, so the 2,000 piece minimum applies. We match against your Pantone or brand guideline references and record them against your account, so a repeat order in a year is built from the same inputs. Exact dye matching is confirmed at sampling stage.
None. You can order one piece or a thousand. What changes with quantity is the unit price, not whether we will take the job. Sublimation suits full-colour designs, marathon and sports jerseys, and anything where the print covers the whole garment.
