About Custom Hospitality Uniforms
Hospitality uniforms work harder than almost any other category of workwear — long shifts, heat, spills, and constant laundering, all while staying presentable in front of paying customers. Supply Crew stocks over 190 hospitality styles from brands built for the job: identitee, JB's wear, AS Colour, Biz Collection, Portwest, Chef Works and STENCIL. The range spans front-of-house shirts and polos, back-of-house chef jackets and hats, service aprons in linen, denim and canvas, and easy-care pants, shorts and skirts — in men's, women's and unisex fits.
The Hospitality Uniform Range
Aprons lead the range with 64 styles — bib, half and cross-back designs in linen, heavyweight denim, canvas and recycled fabrics, and the single most popular branding canvas in any venue. Shirts follow with 51 styles covering front-of-house button-ups, Oxford shirts and polos. Chef jackets and chef hats cover the kitchen, while pants, shorts, skirts and dresses complete the service uniform from the waist down.
Hospitality Uniform Branding & Customisation Options
Embroidery is the standard for hospitality — a stitched logo on an apron bib, shirt chest or chef jacket looks sharp and survives the commercial laundry. Screen printing suits larger designs and cotton garments, and heat transfer works well for smaller runs and detailed artwork. The apron is usually the branding hero: it sits at eye level, it's what customers see across the counter, and it can carry a bolder logo than a shirt. Supply Crew's team will recommend the right method and placement for your venue, and you'll approve a digital proof before production begins.
Choosing Fabrics That Survive Service
Fabric choice is what separates a uniform that lasts a season from one that lasts years. Cotton and cotton-rich blends dominate the range for breathability and comfort through long shifts — critical in a hot kitchen. Polyester-rich blends and elastane stretch fabrics bring easy-care, quick-drying performance and freedom of movement for service staff on their feet. For aprons, weight matters: heavyweight 350 GSM denim and 300 GSM canvas hold up to daily abuse, while mid-weight 215 GSM linen suits a softer café aesthetic. Most styles are preshrunk to minimise shrinkage after repeated washing.
Sustainable Hospitality Uniform Options
Hospitality is one of Supply Crew's strongest categories for natural fibres — 67 styles are made from natural materials including cotton, linen and canvas. Recycled options are available too, including the Shara Aware apron: OEKO-TEX® and GRS-certified, made from a 240 g/m² blend of 70% recycled cotton and 30% recycled polyester. Our team can help identify the most sustainable uniform options for your venue's environmental goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What hospitality uniforms does Supply Crew offer? Supply Crew stocks over 190 hospitality styles including aprons, chef jackets, chef hats, front-of-house shirts and polos, pants, shorts, skirts and dresses. Brands include identitee, JB's wear, AS Colour, Biz Collection, Portwest, Chef Works and STENCIL, in men's, women's and unisex fits.
- What branding methods work best on hospitality uniforms? Embroidery is the standard — a stitched logo looks professional and survives commercial laundering. Screen printing suits larger designs on cotton garments, and heat transfer works well for detailed artwork and smaller runs. Our team will advise on the best method for your venue and garments.
- Which uniform piece is best for carrying our logo? The apron, in most venues. It sits at eye level, it's the garment customers see across a counter or table, and it can carry a bolder logo than a shirt or chef jacket. Many venues brand the apron and leave shirts and bottoms unbranded for a clean, coordinated look.
- What fabrics are hospitality uniforms made from? The range spans 100% cotton, cotton-rich blends, linen, canvas, heavyweight denim, polyester-rich easy-care blends and elastane stretch fabrics. Apron weights run from mid-weight 215 GSM linen to heavyweight 350 GSM denim and 300 GSM canvas. Fabric details are listed on each product page.
- Will hospitality uniforms hold up to commercial laundering? The range is built for it. Most styles are preshrunk to minimise shrinkage, and easy-care polyester blends are designed for frequent high-temperature washing. Care instructions are listed on each product page so you can factor laundering into your uniform program.
- Will I receive a proof before my order is produced? Yes. Once you have confirmed your styles and provided your logo or artwork, Supply Crew will supply a digital proof showing branding placement and finish. Production only begins once you have reviewed and approved the proof.
- What is the minimum order quantity for hospitality uniforms? Minimum order quantities start from as low as 10 units on selected styles, with most at 25 units. MOQ details are confirmed on each individual product page.
- Can I mix and match pieces across the range? Yes — and most venues do. A typical program pairs branded aprons with unbranded shirts and bottoms, or coordinates chef jackets in the kitchen with front-of-house polos in matching colours. Our team can help you build a cohesive look across both sides of the pass.
- Are there eco-friendly hospitality uniform options available? Yes. 67 styles are made from natural materials including cotton, linen and canvas, and recycled options include the OEKO-TEX® and GRS-certified Shara apron in 70% recycled cotton and 30% recycled polyester. Our team can help identify the most sustainable options for your venue.
