Uniform buying guide

Custom vs Ready-Made Uniforms: What Should You Order?

Compare ready-made uniforms and custom stitching based on fit, artwork, repeat orders and the number of garments your team needs.

Polo shirts for a ready-made uniform programme

Start with non-negotiable requirements

List the colours, details and fit you cannot change. If an existing shirt or trouser style works and only needs a logo, assess ready-made garments first. If you need a particular pocket layout, distinct design or a consistent match to an existing sample, ask about custom stitching.

Compare like for like

Ask about the same quantity, artwork treatment and required date for both options. For ready-made garments, confirm the colour and size availability for the planned order. For custom work, agree which decisions need to be approved before production can begin. Request quoted dates rather than assuming either option will be quicker.

Use both in one wardrobe where practical

You can use a custom shirt for front of house and a ready-made polo for another department while carrying the same brand palette. Confirm the actual garment shades before relying on a description such as navy or charcoal.

Document the decision for replenishment

Keep the chosen design or garment reference, colour and artwork placement. Note whether a substitution is acceptable when the original style is unavailable.
