As a uniform wearer in the sales promotion industry, you probably wear a smart casual outfit. How comfortable do you find it? Do you despair at the quality of uniform you wear or rejoice in the comfortable fabrics available today?
As an employer, are you exasperated at the choice of clothing available to you for staff to wear, or do you rejoice at the range of fabrics and designs that allow you to portray your brand or your clients’ in style?
Whatever your uniform headache or highlight, you can share it with other wearers, employers, buyers, sellers and designers and get their reaction in what is thought to be the first working clothing forum, Interchange.
Interchange is designed to stimulate debate on current working clothing issues, share ideas and inform the future of this sector by listening to, and learning from, all sides. It’s a secure facility that requires registration and operates in a moderated environment in order to avoid offensive opinions or completely unrelated topics being raised. It’s been launched by leading corporate clothing designer and supplier, Incorporatewear, which clothes Barclays Bank, Matalan and Balfour Beatty among others.
Chris Wood, Director of Incorporatewear said, “The forum facilitates a broad discussion, allows ideas to be raised, questions to be asked by members and answered by other members. It’s not a Q&A forum with Incorporatewear giving all the smart answers, nor is it an automated help-desk. We won’t set the agenda and we won’t steer the debate. We do hope to continue to learn from the interaction and be able to put this knowledge to good use in the future, but it’s an open forum and others can learn from the debate too. We will conduct surveys, but again the results will be transparent to any members.
“What Interchange does do is demonstrates our commitment to using innovative methods of working with all parties and our willingness and ability to facilitate and lead the working clothing debate.”
To get the debate started, Incorporatewear is inserting leaflets (pdf attached) into the outfits being issue to various clients over the next few months.
