INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 12 images SEPTEMBER 2021 Visit us on Facebook: @imagesmaguk Want to know what your industry colleagues really think of the garments and accessories they decorate? Each issue, one reader tells us why they rate a particular product Shane Perkins, ecommerce manager at Industrial Workwear in Consett, says his favourite garment to decorate is the Silverswift Two Tone Polo Shirt (1180) from Orn Clothing. Available in a wide size range from S-5XL, the contrast-colour polo shirt’s body and side panels are separated by a white piped trim. It will definitely look the part in any customer-facing environment, such as retail, says Shane. “It’s easy to handle, and logos take really well to the garment too.” The 1180 is suitable for a 60°C wash and, due to the dyeing process, its colours don’t run, adds Shane. “It’s also really soft on the skin and sits well on the body.” Industrial Workwear’s customer Flooring Superstore chose the 1180 polo as part of its workwear uniform as READERS’ CHOICE Regatta Professional partners with charity Band of Builders Regatta Professional has teamed up with national construction charity Band of Builders on a partnership that will include the launch of a new line of branded workwear. The company has become Band of Builders’ official workwear supplier, and the two will work together to help promote the charity and its activities helping members of the construction industry affected by illness or injury. Initiatives will include the launch of a Band of Builders-branded line of workwear next year, available to buy nationwide. It will complement the charity’s own extensive merchandise range that it says has proved a hit among tradespeople and supporters across the country. Tony Steel, operations director at Band of Builders, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from the industry, and to have Regatta Professional on board as our official workwear supplier is another feather in our cap.” imagesmag.uk/regatta-builders the garment’s contrast colours worked well with the company’s own branding. “We were really impressed with the quality, feel and weight of the polos,” explained Andrew Shakesby, health, safety and compliance manager at Flooring Superstore. “The style of the polo also allowed easy positioning of our three branding logos, without compromising the design and look.” Shane has a tip for decorating contrast-colour polos: “Although the logo may look good against the solid colour of the polo shirt, it’s important to always check the logo doesn’t conflict – and that it looks good – against its contrasted colour too.” www.industrialworkwear.com www.flooringsuperstore.com The Silverswift Two Tone Polo Shirt [far right] was chosen by Flooring Superstore for its staff uniform Band of Builders uses branded workwear on its projects
