Fabric Selection Guide for Workwear

Fabric selection in workwear is one of the most critical decisions for employee comfort and safety. The wrong fabric choice reduces performance and increases safety risks.

Why Is Fabric Selection So Important?

Workwear is worn for an average of 8-12 hours per day. During this time, the fabric's breathability, flexibility, and durability directly affect employee performance. Research shows that employees wearing appropriate workwear work 23% more efficiently.

Core Fabric Types

1. 100% Cotton

Cotton fabrics offer superior breathability thanks to their natural structure. They are ideal for personnel working in hot environments.

2. Polyester

Polyester fabrics stand out with high durability and quick-drying properties. They have excellent color fastness and maintain their shape through repeated washing.

3. Polycotton (Cotton-Polyester Blend)

Combining the advantages of both fabrics, polycotton is the most preferred fabric type in industrial workwear. The 65/35 polyester-cotton ratio is the most common blend.
