Focus on Hospitality & Catering
There are many buzzwords floating around when it comes to bespoke clothing. Three industry experts explain what bespoke means to them.r all of those who don’t wish to go all out in bright colours, the ever-popular neutrals and darker classic grey colours are being teamed with bright accessories and logos. The darker background contrasts to make bright embroidery or heat seals simply pop. A definite nod to the uplift in mood and resurrection of the sharper colour palette.
Hemlines up
In keeping with the maxim that hemlines rise in times of economic prosperity it is encouraging to see that shorter aprons are becoming increasingly popular to wear over casualwear. To meet demand, we have introduced a range of shorter aprons and also offer a service to shorten some of our aprons to allow for customer choice.
We have a very successful range of classic bistro waist aprons which vary in length, pocket location and includes a wide range of colours including honeybird, orchid and purple to match 2022’s bright trend, making this the perfect range for the change in hospitality clothing.
Fit for purpose
Another trend we have noticed is that chef jackets are moving away from the traditional white, long sleeve, double breasted jacket with French turn back cuffs, towards a more fitted, tailored jacket with short sleeves. Colour is also becoming more popular with black and grey jackets on the
rise, along with our new casual denim style in heathered indigo and grey.
Our first knitted piqué shirt is proving very popular. Again, driven by demand and in line with everyday fashion and comfort, it has some of the more traditional features such as pen pocket and stand collar, but a modern twist for fit. A lovely fabric with comfort from our StayCool System and stretch from the knitted piqué. A great all-rounder!
Slimmer fit garments are in great demand and are working well for us. We have introduced some of our jackets with additional slim fit sizes for those who look for a more fitted jacket and sit in between our current standard sizes for a more comfortable fit. The addition of our StayCool System or CoolMax stretch panels helps to achieve a slimmer fit without restricting movement and has the added benefit of moisture wicking properties.
S-t-r-e-t-c-h
Comfort is key with workwear and this has been reflected not only with better fitting, lighter garments, but also with our stretch trousers for men and women.
These have been welcomed and are well-loved. We went through a thorough development stage to obtain a hardworking, long lasting, comfort-giving stretch trouser, but the fabulous feedback we have received says it was worth it! Extensive wearer trials from customers and staff ensured that stretch remained, the fit stayed the same and the colour did not change. Only when we had just the right combination did we put them into production and allow them out into the world!
