Clothing is one of the few things that accompanies us throughout our lives. Clothes, whether casual or work clothes, accompany us on a daily basis, serving to keep us warm, convey status, help create a corporate image or protect us in our professional activities. As such, Unifardas, as a manufacturer of work uniforms, offers you various options for Workshop Workwear, but which will also be useful in many other areas of activity.

To keep your car in good working order, you should regularly visit a garage that will provide you with much-needed car maintenance services. Mechanics keep cars running smoothly and efficiently. To do his job properly, a mechanic needs work clothes that offer extra comfort and protection. Whether it’s the materials that make up their Workwear, the safety features or the functionality, mechanics depend on their Workwear to help keep them safe during their working day.

As a rule, these workers carry out their work around heat, chemicals, oils and in slightly “dirtier” environments, so it is essential that they are guaranteed workshop workwear with a high degree of resistance and durability.

“Are you a car mechanic? Do you work in uncomfortable positions that require a lot of mobility on your part?
Therefore, the Workshop Workwear you choose must offer you all the resistance, comfort and durability you need, but also respect your movements in order to aid much-needed mobility.”

Coveralls for Workshop Workwear

The Monkey Suit is a piece of Workshop Workwear that offers protection from shoulder to ankle. They are usually a little wider and have long sleeves. The Monkey Suit for workshop workwear should be made from durable fabrics so that it can withstand all the wear and tear it will suffer in the automotive workshop context.

This Monkey Suit has a sporty, hard-wearing style. The sportswear look is highlighted by green and black details on the collar and pockets. Two front pockets, two back pockets and two chest pockets offer plenty of storage. The elastic waistband allows the garment to adjust to the wearer. In conclusion, this piece of workshop workwear offers you excellent mobility and comfort.

The reinforcement in the knees gives the garment even more effective resistance, and the cuffs give it greater mobility. In short, this workwear protects the entire body and prevents the casual clothing worn underneath from being damaged by oils or other substances used in the performance of your duties. In other words, this mechanic’s garment has a very pleasant style and image, making it stand out in the eyes of the customer.

What benefits do Monkey Suits offer you?

  • Protection: If the mechanic chooses to wear a Monkey Suit over his casual clothes, he is offered protection against oils and other types of dirt that come from his professional activity, against possible cuts on his arms and body and even protection against more aggressive chemicals. Some workshops may also opt for flame-retardant coveralls to protect their workers from sources of heat or flame.
  • Functionality: The Workshop Workwear Overalls should have several pockets to allow workers to keep their tools and equipment close at hand. The presence of a zipper is very advantageous even in the event of access to your clothes underneath the coveralls. Not all overalls are made in the same way, but the conditions of your workplace will dictate how your workshop clothing is developed.

To sum up, we can conclude that as well as protecting your physical integrity, overalls also offer you a good level of convenience. Workshop workwear should incorporate pockets for frequently used tools, saving you time and energy and increasing your productivity. In addition, good work uniforms create a more professional and trustworthy image in the eyes of your customers. Alternatively, you could opt for work overalls with reinforced knees.

What are the most recommended fabrics for Monkey Suits?

Monkey Suits can be made from a mixture of cotton and synthetic fibers (polyester), in order to make this piece of workshop workwear more comfortable, resistant and very breathable. For this business area, we recommend a higher percentage of cotton in the blend with polyester (e.g. 60% cotton 40% polyester) as well as a higher grammage of fabric in order to provide greater strength and durability.

If you want to maximize comfort and, above all, flexibility, you could choose a jumpsuit that includes more elastic fabrics such as Elastane.

The use of High Visibility fabric in your workshop workwear may also be necessary if you work in an area where there is a lot of movement of moving vehicles, machinery or equipment. This type of workwear is generally identified as class 1, class 2 or class 3, based on the total area covered by the high-visibility material.

Resistant, comfortable workshop workwear with distinctive personalization

If you choose not to wear overalls as workshop workwear, you’ll have no choice but to wear work pants.

Shorts are generally not a valid option for this area of activity.

Given the choice, most workshops opt for a pair of Polyester and Cotton work pants, giving priority to comfort, breathability and also durability. This composition also guarantees all the benefits, such as not stretching or shrinking in the wash, as well as greater resistance, which is so necessary in this type of work.

For those who go further than the workshop area, these are pants with an excellent cut and wearability. They are therefore perfect for day-to-day work in order to create a quality image with the customer. It also fastens with a button and zipper. Slash pockets with a diagonal entrance next to the belt, a straight-edged slash pocket with an overlapping pen pocket on the side of the left leg. Reinforcement on the knees, making it more resistant and safer.

  • Composition: 65% Polyester 35% Cotton

This is the suggested composition, grammage and materials, but they can be developed in other types of fabric, grammage and composition, taking into account the needs of each workshop or area of activity.

A feature sometimes sought in work pants is reinforcement at the back. A gusset is a crescent-shaped piece of fabric sewn into the buttocks area. This provides greater resistance to the wearer’s movements and prevents the pants from tearing. Mechanics also spend some time on the ground, so they can opt for work pants with reinforcements in the knees to ensure a greater level of protection for that part of the body.

Another suggestion that could fit in with your workshop workwear are work overalls.

How do I choose the right workshop workwear and professional uniforms for my company?

By way of conclusion, we’d like to leave you with a few topics to bear in mind when you’re in the process of buying workshop workwear for your professional space.

  • Comfort affects the productivity and motivation of your employees: your company’s workers wear their uniforms every day, all day long. Comfort must therefore be the top priority. Pay close attention to this point and look for solutions that suit your type of activity, the work done by each of these workers so that you have the best workwear solution for your company and employees.
  • A proper fit reinforces comfort and your brand image: no one likes to wear an ill-fitting uniform.
