What we choose to wear when we are working can significantly impact how well we perform.
It can be difficult to decide on the exact material and properties that you need your workwear to have. There are so many varying options available to choose from, and even more specifications and guides to try and decipher first. It can be a daunting prospect – but don’t worry, MyWorkwear is here to help.
Here at MyWorkwear we have a huge range of versatile fabrics that make up the foundation of our garments – including natural, synthetic, and specialist materials. There is no one-size-fits-all material: but we cover the bases here.
How Do I Choose My Materials?
When considering the best workwear materials for you, first you should be aware of the role that your uniform plays in assisting with your job.
Is the hygeine and the safety of yourself and your clients a priority?
Do you move around all day and need space for your skin to breathe beneath the fabric?
Are you on construction sites that harbour potential risks for you and your safety?
Is your job primarily based in the office, where you need to be comfortable?
If any of these apply to you, perhaps you are now wondering how your workwear can be specialised to suit your requirements. This is entirely dependent on how you would like your uniform to feel, look, and fit during your everyday use.
So, let’s consider the fundamental structure of each fabric and what makes them useful…
Recycled Cotton
A sustainable workwear solution that looks and feels great, and keeps its colour alive even after regular washes – breathable, comfortable, and easy to care for.
Canvas Clothing
Tightly woven and resistant to scuffs and abrasions, this fabric can be made from cotton, linen, or synthetics – it is easily printable and water/windproof.
Wicking Polyester
Always keeps you fresh and cool, is super absorbent and built with movement in mind – can contain antimicrobial properties to prevent sweat and bacteria from invading the clothing fibres.
Ripstop Textile
Popular in trades where cuts and snags are common, has a highly durable and resistant nature – less likely to be need to be replaced, and not restrictive in its movement.
Durable Denim
A traditional workwear look that provides good physical protection and is made from heavy-duty fabrics without weighing you down – always stylish in its design.
Flame Retardant Fabric
Manufactured from fabric that can withstand fire, provide thermal insulation and self-extinguish in emergency – non-conductive properties make it a great option for specialist PPE.
