Getting the best from your corporate clothing Whilst we take every effort to ensure Skopes garments are stylish, comfortable and designed to last they are not indestructible. The vast majority of issues are usually associated with incorrect care and fit or selecting an inappropriate fabric for the working environment. The following tips are designed to help you to maximise your investment in your new corporate image clothing. Selection
After care
There is plenty of choice within our collections and garment fit is generous. All aspects that are designed to cater for different ages, shapes and sizes. Depending on your company size it may be appropriate to form a group from different departments to evaluate suppliers and products. This often goes a long way in getting' buy in' from staff if they have been part of the selection process and can relate this positively to other staff members.
Investing in quality means nothing if staff don't care for their garments correctly.
Consider style and colour carefully. Will it suit most of the staff? Will it reflect the correct image for your company or organisation?
Make sure staff follow the care instructions provided on the labels. Consider issuing a fact sheet. When machine washing garments for best results - wash like colours together, wash suits separately, do not overload the machine as this can cause excessive creasing, use a wool wash cycle, remove quickly from the machine at the end of the cycle and hang to dry naturally.
Take the advice of your supplier. They will know best which fabric will perform the best in the environment the garments will be worn in.
Over washing can cause garments to wear prematurely.
Process
Do not use fabric softeners.
Issue sizing sets for staff to establish the correct fit for them. Remember every manufacturer's version of a size 12 will fit differently.
Do not tumble dry garments.
A good supplier may assist in sizing events depending on how many wearers and locations there are. Samples and sizing sets from the Skopes collections can be returned to us by your supplier.
How many? Make sure staff have enough garments for the working week. The usual rule is ,one on, one ready and one in the wash' for tailored garments and 3 - 5 blouses/shirts or tops as a minimum requirement for full time staff. Whilst cost is a very important consideration, skimping on quantities issued at the start may save money upfront but is likely to prove more costly in the long term in replacing worn items more frequently.
Ironing directly onto the fabric will cause shine or glazing. Iron using a cool iron (2 dot setting) over a damp cloth.
Always hang garments on the hanger at the end of the day. Empty pockets and give room for the garment to recover. A quick brush will remove dust and dirt from the fibres. Ensure garments are rotated and not worn on consecutive days, trousers and/or skirts in particular. Clean garments regularly. Build up of dirt in the fibres will cause garments to shine and wear out quicker. Although not strictly necessary washable garments may benefit from an occasional dry clean to bring them back to their original, pristine condition. Did you know that stain protection treatments de activate in washing and re construct through heat (ironing or dry cleaning). We hope you have an enjoyable corporate clothing experience.
Consider staff purchase scheme allowing staff to buy additional items should they wish. Remember if the price is too good to be true it usually is. There are many hidden parts that make a Skopes garment what it is - durable and comfortable.
