year: Joseph Alan. The brand offers two new hospi-

tality styles: the Joseph Alan Waistcoat (JA020) and

Joseph Alan Ladies Waistcoat (JA021), for reception,

front of house, floor staff and management staff.

Relaxed street food styles

With street food pop-ups a popular and growing

trend, relaxed styles remain popular with many in

catering and hospitality. Anvil’s Tri-Blend tees offer

trendy, ultra-soft styles for staff. Made from 50%

polyester/25% ringspun cotton/25% viscose, these

semi-fitted tees for men and women come in a

number of styles: for men, the crewneck (6750),

V-neck (6752) and raglan (6755) and for women the

new classic crew (6750L), or V-neck (6750VL) and

deep scoop ½ sleeve (6756L) tees. The women’s

styles feature a curved bottom hem. All styles are

available in sizes XS-2XL in a range of heathers, and

feature TearAway labels along with a high stitch

density for a smooth printing surface.

New from the Bargear range at Kustom Kit is the

Bar Polo Shirt (KK124), which the brand says com-

bines the comfort of a T-shirt with the smartness of

a woven collar and placket. “The fashion fit of this

polo is bang on trend and the softness of the 100%

cotton jersey enhances the wearer experience to

the next level,” says the brand. “With an ultra com-

petitive price point, it’s ideal for hospitality business-

es that have a regular turnover of trendy staff.” It is

available in sizes S-2XL and sophisticated black.

Fruit of the Loom offers the hardworking 65/35

Polos for men and women. Made from 170-180 gsm

65% polyester/35% cotton, these easy-care polos

are washable at 60°C, need minimal ironing and are

quick to dry. They have self-coloured buttons, are

designed for decoration and come in sizes S-3XL for

men, XS-2XL for women.

The Gildan Softstyle range has been expanded

for 2017 with new styles and colours. The T-shirts

and polos are made from 100% ringspun cotton for

a fine, soft feel. The Eurofit silhouette of the Adult

styles offers a sleeker fit in the shoulders and sleeves

for a sharp, modern look, while sleeve and bottom

hems are secured with twin needle stitching for

extra durability.

The Adult T-Shirt (64000) is available in 19 new

shades, and 55 hues in total, to match any hos-

pitalitywear customer’s colour scheme. Gildan’s

Adult Double Piqué Polo (64800) is a practical yet

stylish option with rolled forward shoulders for

freedom of movement, contoured welt collar and

colour-matched, pearlised buttons. It comes in 15

colours and in sizes S-2XL, and has TearAway labels

along with women’s companion styles.

Also offering a relaxed yet stylish approach is Rus-

sell Europe with its newly expanded Made to Match

er for front of house or behind the scenes,” says

Russell. All Made to Match garments come in up to

ten colours: black, white, bottle green, classic red,

French navy, lime, bright royal, convoy grey, light

Oxford and sky.
