How to Choose the Right Fabric for Your Staff Uniforms
Doreens Textile Team · 02 Jul 2026 · 5 min read
Choosing the right fabric is the single most important decision in any uniform programme. Poly-cotton blends offer the best balance of durability and easy care for most corporate and hospitality settings, while 100% cotton delivers superior breathability for warmer climates like Fiji.For front-of-house roles, a 65/35 poly-cotton twill resists wrinkling through a full shift and holds embroidery cleanly. For kitchen and industrial roles, heavier drill fabrics in the 200-260gsm range stand up to repeated industrial laundering without losing shape.Our team at Doreens Textile can recommend the right fabric weight and blend based on your team's role, climate exposure and wash frequency — talk to us before you commit to a bulk order.
