Product Overview
The Women's Classic Tunic is a refined evolution of a workplace essential, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the food and hospitality industries. By blending a modern, flattering silhouette with practical design features, this garment ensures that professional staff can maintain a polished appearance without sacrificing the mobility required for high-pressure environments. The updated design focuses on ergonomics, ensuring the tunic moves with the wearer throughout a busy shift.
Key Features
- Action Back Design: The integrated action back provides additional fabric across the shoulder blades, allowing for a full range of motion when reaching or lifting, which is vital in busy kitchen or service roles.
- Kingsmill Polycotton Fabric: This specialized blend provides the durability of polyester with the soft hand-feel of cotton, ensuring the garment remains comfortable even during long working hours.
- Pre-shrunk Material: The fabric is fully pre-shrunk during manufacturing, meaning the tunic will maintain its original shape and fit after repeated laundering.
- Superior Dye Retention: This ensures the professional black colour remains deep and consistent, preventing the garment from looking aged or worn prematurely.
Design & Performance
At the heart of this tunic’s performance is the Kingsmill Polycotton fabric, composed of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. This specific ratio is chosen for its high-performance characteristics; the polyester provides essential strength and resistance to creases, while the cotton ensures breathability against the skin. This mid-weight fabric is substantial enough to offer protection in a catering environment while remaining light enough for all-day comfort.
The garment's construction is focused on longevity. Every seam and stitch is designed to withstand the daily stresses of a professional kitchen or service floor. The modern design features a tailored fit that provides a contemporary look while the action back ensures the tunic is never restrictive during physical tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tunic serves as a superior canvas for branding, allowing businesses to create a cohesive team identity. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium look that stands up well to frequent washing.
For larger or more vibrant designs, such as promotional branding on the back of the tunic, high-quality printing is an excellent alternative. Our expert in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, utilizes professional-grade equipment to ensure your branding is applied with precision, maintaining its integrity alongside the garment's lifespan.
Use Cases
This tunic is versatile enough for a broad spectrum of professions within the catering and food service sectors. It is an ideal choice for chefs, bakers, and butchers who require a clean, professional appearance. Additionally, it is highly suited for front-of-house staff in hotels, bars, and restaurants where a uniform must be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the tunic. While the action back provides extra room for movement, the tunic is designed with a flattering, modern fit. If you prefer a looser feel during active shifts, you may wish to consider how the tailored cut interacts with your specific requirements.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your tunic requires adherence to specific care protocols. We recommend a maximum wash temperature of 60°C using a normal process. Exceeding this temperature may compromise the structural integrity of the polycotton fibers and could negatively impact any custom branding.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will cause irreversible damage to the dye and the fabric's strength. For drying, a low-temperature tumble dry is acceptable, though drip line drying is preferred to minimize creasing. If ironing is required, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C; ironing at higher temperatures can damage the polyester component of the fabric.
For deep cleaning, this garment is suitable for professional dry cleaning using tetrachloroethene in a normal process, which helps maintain the professional finish over many years of service.
