Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Harbour View Kitchen' in Whitby found their existing uniforms weren't holding up to their busy weekend services, often looking worn and faded after just a few washes.
"We needed something tough, comfortable, and that didn't cost a fortune to replace for the whole team. The Whites trousers were just the ticket. The staff look much smarter, and we've had zero complaints about uncomfortable waistbands during long shifts."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
After outfitting their entire kitchen staff, the bistro reported a significant decrease in their quarterly uniform replacement costs and a noticeable improvement in team presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give them a wash before the first wear to soften the fabric for immediate comfort.
- Adjust the drawstring for a snug but non-restrictive fit around the waist.
- Ensure they allow for a full range of movement, such as bending and lifting, before starting a shift.
Keeping It Going
- Always follow the garment's care label; they are designed for commercial laundering.
- Wash with similar dark colours to maintain the deep black colour and prevent dye transfer.
- To minimise creasing and save time on ironing, remove them from the dryer promptly.
- Regularly check seams and the waistband for any signs of wear and tear.
