Workwear Suppliers

[Justin]

Really need to get back into sourcing and supplying workwear, anyone recommend any decent suppliers? Are Ralawise etc. any good for this or are their better places?

Be good to know what brands to avoid/use.

Hi Justin

I use Ralawise and BTC and have always found their stuff pretty good.

However, I am now sublimating a bucket load of hi vis vests for a customer which they supply. They use a company called Rolodo. Have to say I have been very impressed with the quality of the garment and print on them, I think they pay about 97p per vest but they are buying about 1000 a month.

Hi Simon

Could you check the spelling of Rolodo, or dig out a link, I googled it but nothing sensible came up. I have been looking for someone who can supply hi viz, childrens jackets with long sleeves - at a sensible price. Something just like the thin cheap vests but with arms. Just the job for kids on bikes in the darker nights. Certainly be worth giving Rolodo a try.

Very popular up here but do they offer a trade facility? i see they do their own print/embroidery.

I believe they do Justin, but I tell my customers to buy direct from them and bring it to me to Embroider. That way there are no size/colour problems. If you order, all you need is one article not the right size and you will loose all the profit you have made on the entire small job. And I dont have to keep samples either.
Works for me.
