Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Café, a bustling spot in the heart of York, wanted to refresh their staff uniforms to better reflect their modern, friendly brand. They needed headwear that was smarter than standard caps but still practical for a busy team.
"We swapped our old baseball caps for these trilbies, and the difference is night and day. The team looks so much more professional, and customers have even commented on their sharp appearance. They're comfy for long shifts too, which is a huge bonus."
David Mitchell – Owner
The simple uniform update contributed to a noticeable lift in staff morale and a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning professionalism.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use & Sizing
- Ensure the hat fits snugly but comfortably before wearing it for a full shift.
- If you plan to add a logo, it's best to get it embroidered before its first wash.
- We recommend a quick, cool wash before first use to soften the new fabric.
Keeping It Clean
- Machine wash on a standard cycle with other white or light-coloured items.
- To prolong the life of the fabric, avoid using harsh chlorine-based bleaches.
- For stubborn food stains, pre-soak the affected area before the main wash.
- Tumble dry on a low setting or, even better, air dry to help maintain its shape perfectly.
