Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a gilet and a bodywarmer?

Both terms are often used interchangeably, but a gilet typically refers to a sleeveless, lightweight garment designed for layering, while bodywarmers may offer more insulation for cold environments. Our range includes both softshell and padded options to suit varying climates and work requirements.

Can I personalise my gilet with a company logo?

Yes, absolutely. We offer professional embroidery and print services for all garments, including custom work gilets. You can upload your logo during the order process, and our team will ensure it’s applied with premium accuracy.

Are these gilets suitable for outdoor work environments?

Yes. We stock robust, weather-resistant styles like the Scruffs bodywarmer available in a trade or worker option, ideal for tradespeople, warehouse staff, and anyone working in variable outdoor conditions.

Do you offer sizes suitable for all staff members?

Our branded gilets and bodywarmers come in a full range of men’s sizes, with select styles also offering unisex or women’s fits. Size guides are provided on each product page for convenience and accuracy.

What is the turnaround time for customised gilet orders?

Lead times can vary depending on the customisation level and quantity. For standard orders, expect delivery within 7–10 working days. For large or urgent orders, our team can often provide express solutions—just get in touch.

Can I order a sample before committing to a full order?

Yes, you are welcome to place an order for a blank garment so you can check the quality and fit before committing to a large custom clothing order. You are welcome to return this garment for a full refund as long as it is in resalable condition
