What sort of workwear is suitable for garages and workshops?
In the workshop, oil resistance and freedom of movement are key — work is carried out lying down, kneeling and overhead. At the same time, almost every garage has customer contact at reception, which is why a two-part approach works well: sturdy workshop clothing and smart attire for the customer area.
What matters in this industry
- Oil and lubricants
- Fabrics that can be washed out and don’t turn grey after two weeks.
- Any posture
- Lying under the vehicle, kneeling by the wheel, hanging upside down from the hoist.
- Customer Area
- At reception, it’s all about the look — a Corporate Fashion works better there than a jumpsuit.
- Brand identity
- Many businesses are bound by manufacturers’ specifications; the finishing process must comply with these.
Suitable brands from our range

Relevant protective standards
- EN 1149
- Anti-static measures, for example when working on high-voltage systems
Whether a standard is mandatory always follows from the employer’s risk assessment (SUVA/EKAS) — not from the industry alone.

Frequently asked questions
What is suitable for staff who deal with customers?
A combination: sturdy workshop clothing for the workshop, and a smart polo shirt or shirt for the customer area.
How do you get oil out of work clothes?
The fabric is key: specially treated fabrics are much easier to clean than standard fabrics.
Can manufacturers’ guidelines on clothing be implemented?
Yes. We ensure that the colours, logo placement and design comply with the specifications — we check this before production begins.
