Charles Kendall safety clothing

We have for many years, supplied safety wear, and clothing needed for factory, warehouse, industrial use, but never really had the chance to see our safety clothing in action. But that all changed recently, when we supplied, printed and delivered all the safety clothing Charles Kendall Group. They required Hi-Visibility, waist coats, bomber and yard / 3/4 length jackets, with the new corporate brand printed as per the specification outlined. The clothing needed to meet all health and safety requirments, and are all up to standard from us, we only suppliy Hi visibility safety wear to class two or above EN471. We have a number of ways to brand hi visibility workwear, we can screen print, as we did in this case with Charles Kendall, or we can dye the fabric, or we can also embroider, all of which we can do in house.

Note the sprcification on the vests EN471 Class2 Approved Confirming to 89/686/EEC Directive, 2 band bib and brace reflective 50mm wide strips stitched onto garment with a velcro fastening.

Specification for the two jackets bomber and Traffic / yard jacket, EN471 Class 3 approved confirming to 89/686/EEC Directive, waterproof taped seams, 2 retro reflective strips 50mm wide stitched on to arms and body of jacket, conceled hood in collar, phone pocket, studded storm flaps, padded and lined.

We are very greatful for the shots from Charles Kendall as, all the garments were sampled prior to the order being put in place, and were very greatful to recive a call from the team to say how pleased they are with the clothing we supplied.

work and safety boots

Happy new year, seems the roads and country is coming to a halt again with the snow and bad weather. I have been for a while working on selecting the best range of boots we can stock here in Buckingham near Milton Keynes.

If you have a look at the link http://www.tkingassociates.com/catalog/index.php?CG_ID=3 this is our range of safety and work boots we are now holding in stock at Buckingham. The qualtiy of the range is outstanding and represents value for money, with composite toe caps rather than steel the weight and balance of the boot is lovely. I will as always be wearing the boots, Last year I trialed the Aztec http://www.tkingassociates.com/catalog/product.php?CI_ID=2296 and found them to be really comfy, maybe a bit to much for the office but when on my motorbikes and working in the garden and garage they were fantastic very light. So this year I will try out the Puma Honey boot http://www.tkingassociates.com/catalog/product.php?CI_ID=2293 they look great , and am sure they will work well with the Tuff stuff trousers we hold in stock here, in our workwear section. I have by the way been wearing these trousers for over a year now and I can offically say these are well worn, well washed and in fantastic condition. DOn't forget these are on the shelf here as well ready for collection or delivery next day.

Safety boots well we have held various brands in the past, from portwest to Timberland and doctor martins, and I hope to have found the perfect balance with the V-tech range, if they prove popular safety boots wel will roll out a wider stock holding, The Bison boot is by far the most popular with a composite toe and wax finish, it has proved to last well and look smart for longer. The Puma is essentially the same boot but a different colour and leather, so as I say I will give these Safety boots a try and report back shortly.


V-Tech have over the years invested masivley in their safety boot range, with light weight composite toes, crafted with quality leathers, perfectly balanced boot and the use of light weight composite toe caps the safety boots reduce fatigue and feel better to wear all day long, and all stocked in the UK for dispatch to you direct.

~The best part and cast iron satisfaction promise from V-Tech is if within 30 days the boots dont meet your expectations they will give you a full refund !!!, and with a 200 day manufacture defects guarantee I think its a sure fire way to take a plunge and give your feet the safety shoes they deserve !!!

bespoke cuflinks, badges, pin badges, key rings

Of late a lot of clients have been asking for bespoke, high quality badges and keyrings, we all know the generic items that are out there some cheap plastic some you can only brand in a very small or poor way, so we have over a long period of time built up relationships with factories all over the world for various items and thought this was worth a mention as this job has just been delivered, the cuflink is as per your clients requirments, and because it was made to order, gives a far superior finished item than something anyone could find on the shelf. The cuflink comes an a clear presentation box, and was turned around, in less than 4 weeks. Theposibilities are endless and are not as costly as you might expect, so pin badges, trolley keyrings, cuff links and any shape or size of key ring to promote a far better brand / product is well worth considering in your marketing plans.

updated print systems transfers, and full colour Garment printing in house

Well we finally updated some of our print kit, I have been looking for some time at what is avalible on the market, and considered what would be the best solution for our clients needs, and to give us a more diverse offering to clients. We decided to go with Xpres transfer systems http://www.xpres.co.uk/ for two main reasons, 1 the finish of the print product is second to none, and 2 the full colour transfers will wash and survive upto 80c washes, which means we can use this system reliably in our work wear offering , and also suppliy the short run T-shirt or any garment market with a reliable permanent decoration, and because of the simplicity of the system is very cost effective, which means we can offer good quality garment decoration, fast turn around and know it will last, which is more than can be said for other offerings out there on the market, the direct to garment machines were considered, and on paper seem very simple, but Ithink the tecnology has further to progress, and work as it sounds, their are specialists that know this technology well and we have access to their trade suppliy, so when a job arises that is more suited to this system we can still have this avalible.





So this year we have invested in four new embroidery machines, new cad transfer systems, and full colour transfer systems, also having our staff trained in the operation and software, we have samples readily avalible, and have already started to suppliy with fantastic results the print, and also to very short lead times.



We are also constainly investing in our order processing software, and this is currently being updated, we had this system made bespoke with our own programmer, because we wanted full control of the functionality, ease of use and be able to modify quickly for our customers needs, which is proving to have been a wise move in the workwear and promotional markets.

Hanes
For the man who has everything


Do you know what the most successful, most produced T shirt in the world is?
It's the flagship of the legendary Hanes Beefy line - the Beefy-T product code H5180, which has been pleasing customers since 1974 and is included as usual in the 2009 catalogue. The secret of success is its especially high quality. This is a true heavyweight at 215g/m; it is comfortably tailored and made of 100% ringspun cotton, designed to meet the highest demands without breaking the bank. And that goes for all the other models in the Beefy collection, too.
One typical feature of the Beefy collection is the especially heavy material, which feels great to the touch. Ranging from 215 g/m to 320 g/m, all models are distinguished by their wearing comfort.
Alongside the classic Beefy-T are the Beefy polo and the Beefy polo long sleeve. The Beefy sweat and the Beefy hooded jacket complete the collection.
For 2009, the Beefy sweat portfolio has been enhanced by three smart colours, with royal blue, khaki and brown all adding a new, fashionable dimension. And coming in a host of other colours (21 for the Beefy polo alone) as well as a choice of six sizes, Hanes clearly sets great store by individuality.
Last but not least, three models (the Beefy polo, the Beefy Sweat and the Beefy hooded jacket) are now also available in the new Hanes Club Wear collection complete with the Hanes logo. They're ideal for teams, businesses and clubs, not to mention discriminating individuals.
