Denim stitch shirts
Versatile and practical, our denim stitch shirts and blouses can be dressed up or down to suit the vibe of your business.

Check bar shirts
For a modern yet classic look, our range of check bar shirts will suit any kind of catering business. Featuring the options of long, short or rolled sleeves, our check shirts and blouses are semi-fitted for comfort and style and come in a choice of striking colours too.

Three-quarter sleeve blouses
For a look that feels modern but is based on classic fashion, the three-quarter sleeve blouse offers a touch of style to the traditional long-sleeved blouse. The sleeve comes to just below the elbow, making it the perfect option for stylish team members who want comfort but also need to keep sleeves out of the way.
Premium shirts and blouses
A step up in quality, our premium shirts and premium blouses are made from heavier cotton. They’re also slightly more fitted than our other ranges to set them apart in style.
Types of Shirt Fits
Slim fit
Slim fit shirts offer a sleeker silhouette for the wearer and ensuring excess material is kept to a minimum – a boon where clothing could get in the way of your team doing their job to their best ability.
Relaxed fit
The clue is in the name. Relaxed fit shirts and blouses are just that – relaxed. Better suited for a more casual look, relaxed fits will keep your team comfortable yet smart.
Short-sleeved
Ideal for team members who have to keep their sleeves out of the way, short-sleeved shirts offer style and quality while being practical and flexible too.
Long-sleeved
The classic long-sleeved shirt or blouse is the ultimate in style for your team. Smart, classic, modern yet traditional – the long-sleeved shirt does it all.
Three-quarter sleeve
It’s neither short nor long, but somewhere in between! Available only in the blouses, this classically stylish option is perfect as an option for formal or casual uniforms alike.
