Workwear in Aldridge

We are a workwear supplier based at 38 Hall Lane in Walsall Wood, and Aldridge is one of the towns we serve most often. The catalogue runs to 3,160 products across 163 categories, and the decoration that puts your logo on them happens in the same building the order is taken in.

Most of what a business in Aldridge needs falls into one of a few jobs: kitting out a new starter in the same gear as everyone else, replacing a jacket that has had a hard winter, or putting a whole team into something consistent for the first time. All three are easier when the supplier holds the range rather than ordering it in, and when the branding is not a separate company with its own lead time.

There is no minimum area and no minimum order. A sole trader in WS9 ordering one embroidered softshell gets the same attention as a firm ordering fifty.

The range is built for trade rather than for a general clothing shop, which means depth in the categories that actually wear out. Hi-vis runs to 309 lines on its own and work gloves to 213, because those are the two things every site reorders.

Blackrock, Supertouch, Warrior, CAT, Dickies, Helly Hansen Workwear, Portwest, Uneek, ORN, Regatta Professional, Mascot, Amblers Safety, Magnum, Timberland Pro, Puma Safety, Skechers Workwear, Dr Martens and more.

Brands are not interchangeable, and the place that shows up first is sizing. Blackrock's men's chart steps a clean four inches a size on chest, waist and hip, then its sleeve measurement climbs to 35 to 36 inches at XXL and drops back to 33 to 34 inches for 4XL and up. Warrior's and Supertouch's footwear charts both skip EU 40 and 45 outright. Mascot runs C-numbers rather than S, M and L, and prints an alpha size against only eleven of its twenty-two sizes.

None of that is a criticism of any of them, it is just what happens when fifteen manufacturers each publish their own ladder. It is also the single most common reason a team order goes wrong, which is why we publish each manufacturer's own chart rather than flattening them into one table we invented.

We hold the published size charts for fifteen brands, transcribed from the manufacturer's own document including the parts that look like mistakes. Where a supplier skips a size, the chart says so and tells you to ask rather than quietly closing the gap.

If you are between sizes on workwear, size up. If you are ordering for people who are not standing in front of you, call 0330 122 1494 and we will talk it through, because a box of the wrong size helps nobody in Aldridge or anywhere else.

Embroidery, screen print, DTF and heat transfer all happen here. We have never sent decoration out. That matters less for the first order than for the fourth: the polo stitched this week matches the one stitched two years ago because the same machines and the same thread specification did both.

If the artwork does not exist yet, that is handled here too. Newo Design works in-house, so a business in Aldridge can arrive with a name and leave with a logo and the garments it is stitched onto, without going to two suppliers and hoping they agree.
