What we supply for hospitality

Aprons

Classic bar aprons, short waiter aprons, full aprons with neck strap. Black, white, denim or in your brand colour. With an embroidered or printed logo.

Chef's jackets and chef's trousers

White or coloured chef's jackets with a logo on the chest. Long or short sleeve, double-breasted button fastening or modern cut. For the whole kitchen team.

Polos and T-shirts for front-of-house

For restaurant and bar staff. In your brand colour with a small logo on the chest, often embroidered for a premium look.

Hoodies and sweaters

For terrace staff or casual hospitality concepts. Comfortable and recognisable.

Caps and beanies

Hygiene and recognisability in one. Embroidered logo, colour to your choice.

Tablecloths, napkins, tea towels

Printing is possible, but often not recommended because of the wash cycles. Embroidery is more durable for textiles that are washed daily.

Hotel staff clothing

Reception, housekeeping, room service, each role with its own look, all in one brand line.

Industrial-wash requirements for hospitality

Hospitality textiles take a beating: washed daily at 60°C or higher, sometimes chlorinated, sometimes bleached. Not every print survives that.

We always advise based on your wash cycles: tell us how often and how hot you wash, and we will choose the technique to match.

What does hold up to industrial washing

  • Embroidery (excellent, no problem)
  • Plastisol screen printing (good, provided it is not over reflective or special material)
  • High-quality DTF transfers (good with non-extreme wash cycles)

Less suitable for industrial washing

  • Sublimation on blends (can discolour slightly)
  • Standard transfers (can come loose after many washes)

Tips for hospitality businesses

1

Embroidery is almost always the right choice.

For aprons, polos and chef's jackets, embroidery survives industrial washing and looks premium.

2

Plan for team turnover.

Hospitality has high staff turnover. Keep stock in common sizes so new staff have clothing straight away.

3

Provide 2 sets per employee.

One in the wash, one on. Prevents stress during sudden shift changes.

4

Distinguish roles subtly.

Front-of-house gets an apron, the kitchen a jacket, the manager a polo without an apron — visually recognisable to guests.

5

A black apron works everywhere.

Timeless, and stains show less. With an embroidered logo, still the classic.
