Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight fabric, this waistcoat is designed to be worn comfortably throughout the day without adding unnecessary bulk. The two-tone design is not merely for aesthetics; the contrast panels are strategically placed to help maintain a professional appearance by masking dirt in high-contact areas, while the main high-visibility body ensures maximum safety. Furthermore, the inclusion of Sedex and OEKO-TEX certifications confirms that this garment has been produced under ethical conditions and is free from substances that could be harmful to the skin.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Yoko YK107 is an excellent canvas for branding. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting the art of garment customisation since 1976. We recommend embroidery for a superior, long-lasting finish that is ideal for company logos and individual names. Alternatively, high-quality printing is available for larger, bolder designs that need to stand out. Both processes are managed in-house to ensure your branding is executed with technical precision and care.
Use Cases
This waistcoat is a versatile choice for a wide range of sectors, including construction, logistics, and facilities management. Its ability to match corporate colours also makes it a popular option for the promotional market, where brand recognition must go hand-in-hand with safety requirements.

Practical Advice
Available in a comprehensive size range from Small to 3XL, this waistcoat is designed with a generous fit to facilitate layering. To ensure the best fit, we recommend selecting your usual size, which will provide enough room to be worn comfortably over sweatshirts or light jackets.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and structural integrity of this garment, it is important to follow the recommended care routine. We advise a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the synthetic fibres and may cause the reflective tapes to lose their luminosity over time.
Bleaching is strictly prohibited, as the harsh chemicals will degrade both the high-visibility pigments and the reflective material, rendering the garment unsafe for use. Similarly, do not tumble dry or iron this waistcoat; the high heat from these processes can melt the polyester fabric and cause the reflective bands to peel away.
Please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 25 wash cycles. Beyond this point, the reflective properties may fall below the certified safety standards, and the garment should be inspected or replaced to ensure continued protection for the wearer.
