Custom Made Corporate Uniform
Uniform inspires a sense of belonging in those who wear it. People who look professional and feel professional will end up acting professionally. Not to mention that a good company uniform also establishes authority and trust. And if customers trust you, they will eventually become loyal as well.
What Is Custom Made Uniform?
First things first, let’s establish what we mean by a custom uniform. The word “custom made” means “bespoke” or “made-to-order”. In the context of staff uniform,this means the design and production of corporate clothing & workwear manufactured to your unique specifications.
Any branded uniform can be considered bespoke to a degree, as you’ve chosen a selection of garments and added your unique company logos and embellishment. There are so many off-the-shelf clothing styles and colours available with flexible branding and personalisation options that the possibilities are almost endless.
However, many larger companies are looking to go one step further, by designing a branded uniform that is truly custom made — whether through custom garment designs or Pantone colour-matched fabrics.
You don’t need a degree in fashion design or mad drawing skills to come up with a proper outfit, but before we start, you’ll need to ask yourself a few questions.
Understand the Different Types of Uniforms
Business formal? Business casual? factory worker or construction teams? Your target, the service you provide and the industry your employees work for, will give you a clue as to what kind of workwear you should enforce. An embroidered shirt may look smart, but may not suitable for production crew.

Think of Colours
You may find yourself thinking this step is unnecessary, as you already have corporate colours. But think again, a palette that works for a logo may not necessarily translate into clothes. For these cases, it is advisable to produce a sample (more on that later). If you decide not to use your corporate colour scheme then I’d recommend you stayed true to complementary colours. Look for neutrals that balance out your style guide.
Think of Materials
A garment made with regular synthetic fabric may be cheaper, but they don’t breathe as well or are as comfortable as a cotton counterpart. If your employees are required to move around, like a waiter, for example, it may be advisable to consider “friendlier” or “smart” materials. This ensures better movement, comfort and hygiene. If your enterprise occurs outdoors, then maybe a fabric that protects against the elements would also be advisable. Better quality fabrics usually mean more money, but consider it an investment as they will probably last longer than a cheaper alternative.
Think of Your Employees
What would they like to wear? Since they’re the ones who are going to spend a good amount of time in it, it might be a good idea to get their opinion on the matter! Few things are worse than wearing a work uniform you don’t like every day!
Time to Sketch
Now that you’ve gathered all of the information, it’s time to put your concept to paper. You may do this by hand or on a computer. If you don’t have the skills, ask an artistic friend to give you a hand. You may also do it with a college or in the worst case scenario, just find a picture of something similar. Pointing and imagining still works. “I want something like this, but in blue instead of yellow.” Or hire a professional digital artist.
Get a Good Uniform Supplier
A very important part of the production process is to find a company that will handle your design with the attention you deserve. Of course, we would love it if you picked us. I mean, why wouldn’t you? But we won’t hold it against you if you don’t. We will smile smugly at the very least, when you come back, but that’s about it.
Create a Sample
Before you fully commit to a design, it is very important to create a sample. A sort of mockup, if you will. Creating a sample will allow you to test it. Have one or two workers wear it for a day or a week and have them report later to you. Is it comfortable? Does it still look good after many hours of use? Does it crumple or crease? What were the clients’ reactions? Gather all of the feedback and make the necessary changes. If there are too many, it might mean going back to the drawing board, if it’s fine as it is, then send it to production!
Lastly, Have Fun!
By now, you’re hopefully feeling well informed and excited about the prospect of crafting the unique corporate workwear and uniform you’ve always dreamed of. Bespoke or Custom uniforms have the power to boost your brand awareness, ensure brand consistency, attract customers, motivate employees, simplify uniform policy and allow you to tailor garments to the specific needs of your staff. However, the size of your workforce and budget will play a key role in deciding whether it’s a viable option for you.
