Brand Profile Tough, co-ordinated workwear
Work-Guard and Safe-Guard entered the market five years ago and to this date remain strong players in the workwear market. Here, Sara Sanders-Smith, director of Result Clothing, provides insight into the brands and what they offer printwear professionals.
QCan you explain the inspiration behind the A
development of Work-Guard and Safe-Guard?
Yes, of course! Result outerwear was being worn in all arenas not just as a canvas to promote events or a company logo, but as a validation that person wearing it was qualified to carry out a task and employed to do so. It soon became apparent to us that a specific brand was required to fulfil the wants of those employed within trade industries who needed to be outfitted in workwear built to provide comfort, durability and safety. Comfortable clothing that wearers donʼt mind getting dirty, protective to keep them warm, dry and cool, safety to keep them visible. And so we set about creating and developing such a collection and Work-Guard and Safe-Guard, the high-visibility collection, were born.
QCan you provide an overview of the product A
range and what sets the brands apart from others in the workwear market?
All garments within the Work-Guard and Safe-Guard collection are designed to be decorated and to match or jigsaw in with other garments across all our ranges. They are made from not only an array of fabrics and finishes but hit varying price points, so regardless of your budget, we can supply a bespoke look for a specific price point without compromise on durability or safety certification.
QDo you have any new products A
in the pipeline for the year ahead?
For 2020 we shall be extending our colour range on our top selling R200X High Viz Motorise Safety Vest, responding to market requests by adding the R470X Super Stretch Slim Chino and R471X Super Stretch Slim Chino Shorts to our top selling trouser range, adding new colour work trainers, high-vis printers beanies and revamping our softshell work trouser to a slim fit stretch cargo design, loaded with features such as expansion waistband, scuff panels and triple needle seams.
In addition, we shall be launching a budget hi-vis motorway jacket and printable softshell using the latest in flexible safety bands.
So, you can say there is a lot going on at the moment!
QCan you explain more about the mix and A
match system?
This is where customers can match garments across all our ranges to form a top to toe look in matching shades
and sizes. This system offers a flexible module garment combination in dynamic colours to co-ordinate an individual look for work teams across the full Result clothing range. For example customers can match the R317X Lite Gilet with the R312X Apex Polo Shirt, the R319X Lite Shorts, the RC035X High-Viz Cap and the R340X Defence Safety Boot for a fully co-ordinated look.
QWhat kind of worker would you say Work-Guard A
and Safe-Guard is aimed at?
Anyone from corporate teams to the individual tradesman. The beauty of mix and match is that it can suit every type of worker and because we cater for all shapes and sizes, the range is suitable for anyone.

QWhat do Work-Guard and Safe-Guard A
offer the female worker?
The same strong sellers are available in women's fit. We launched our R308F Women's Action Trouser this year and are pleased with its sales so far. Our trainerʼs unisex fitting start at women's size 3. Injection shoe moulds for this style are the same for men and women so our size range starts with size 3 and runs through to men's size 12.
QWhat about folks of a A
larger size? Can they be kitted out?
The simple aswer is yes. Earlier this year we introduced larger sizes into many of our softshell styles and expansion fitting waistbands on several trouser styles. The majority of the Work-Guard and Safe-Guard collection is available in sizes S to 2XL, with some styles being available in 4XL and in some cases 5XL, such as our R312X Apex Polo Shirt.
QThe products have been on the market for five A
years now, what feedback, response or comments have you had from garment decorators?
The overall consensus seems to be that they are very pleased, especially because we are continuing to incorporate clear, but hidden, access points wherever we can, as well as supplying high volume products such as T shirts and safety vests in printersʼ bundles for quick turnaround and minimal handling.
