Product Overview
The Premier PR174 Waterproof Wrap Around Tunic is a specialized evolution of the classic tulip-style garment, engineered specifically for professionals working in demanding environments where moisture and chemicals are a daily reality. While maintaining the elegant aesthetic of the popular PR177, this version introduces a robust level of protection through its advanced fabric coating. The unique over-the-head design simplifies the dressing process; it fastens from the back to the front on the underside, then wraps back on itself to tie neatly at the rear, ensuring a secure and adjustable fit that accommodates a variety of silhouettes.
Key Features
- Waterproof and Bleach Resistant: The fabric is treated to repel liquids and resist the corrosive effects of bleach, ensuring the tunic remains professional and functional even in high-spill environments.
- Double Centre Pocket: Provides ample space for tools of the trade, such as combs, clips, or pens, keeping essential items within reach at all times.
- Flattering Feminine Fit: With an 86cm length, the tunic offers generous coverage while maintaining a refined profile tailored for female professionals.
- Round Neck Design: Offers a clean, modern appearance that fits comfortably without restricting movement during active shifts.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester with a polyurethane coating, this tunic is designed for performance without the burden of excessive weight. The lightweight fabric ensures that the wearer remains cool and mobile throughout a long shift, a critical factor in busy salons or clinical settings. The polyurethane coating is the hero of this garment, providing a barrier that prevents liquids from soaking through to clothing while also allowing the tunic to be wiped down easily between tasks. Its durability is further enhanced by high-quality stitching, ensuring it withstands the constant movement and frequent cleaning cycles required of professional workwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tunic provides an excellent canvas for customisation, allowing you to align the garment with your brand identity. Embroidery is an ideal choice for salon or business logos, offering a three-dimensional, high-end finish that conveys professionalism and longevity. For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing process ensures sharp details and bold colours that stand out.
Our in-house production team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that every stitch and print meets our rigorous quality standards before it leaves our facility. Whether you require a subtle name on the chest or a prominent logo, we have the expertise to deliver a superior finish.
Use Cases
The PR174 is perfectly suited for the health and beauty industry, particularly for hairdressers and colourists who frequently handle bleach and water. It is equally valuable in spa environments, cleaning services, and hospitality roles where maintaining a pristine appearance despite exposure to cleaning agents is paramount. The wrap-around design makes it a versatile choice for businesses that value both style and heavy-duty practicality.

Practical Advice
The wrap-around nature of this tunic allows for a high degree of adjustability. We recommend checking the size guide to ensure the best fit across the chest, as the waist and hips can be easily tailored by how tightly the garment is tied. For those working in particularly warm environments, the lightweight polyester construction is excellent for layering over a simple t-shirt or blouse without causing overheating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the waterproof and bleach-resistant coating, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to ensure high levels of hygiene while preserving the polyurethane layer and any custom branding you have added.
For industrial environments where high-level thermal disinfection is required, this garment can also withstand an industrial wash up to 85°C. However, please be aware that consistent exposure to very high temperatures over a long period may eventually impact the vibrancy of printed designs. Always ensure the tunic is fully dry before storing to maintain the fabric's protective properties.
