Shake up your existing clothing department or dive into the category with these workwear products that offer innovative fabrics and practical features.
Sun Hoodies
While some may not think the words “sun” and “hoodie” go together in the same sentence, many brands offer sun hoodies, which are as lightweight as a shirt, but provide protection from the sun, allowing them to be worn in the spring and summer.
The B1 Sun Hoodie from TRUEWERK comes in nine colors, including hi-vis options. This sun hoodie provides UPF 50+ protection and is lightweight enough to fit under a hard hat or helmet.
Milwaukee Tool offers its version of a sun hoodie made with its WORKSKIN® material. This sun hoodie also offers UPF 50+ protection and comes in two color options.
Eye Protection
Like high-vis clothing and hardhats, eye protection goes hand in hand with any job site. Stocking stylish, yet functional, eyewear is a great addition to your clothing category.
Nine Line Apparel’s Classic Ballistic Sunglasses fully protect eyes from the sun and impacts. Available in two colors, with three lens options, these sunglasses filter 100% of UVA and UVB light rays and are made in the U.S.
Wiley X wholesales a variety of job site eye protection. Its WX Ozone eyeglasses come in four colors and lens options and even have a clear lens for working at night. These glasses also offer ventilation to eliminate fogging when working in the heat and are prescription lens compatible.
Work Belts
Belts are one of the most important job site clothing accessories. The Flex Work Belt from Dovetail Workwear, which makes job site workwear specifically for women, is a leather belt made to stretch. The Flex Work Belt combines the look of a leather belt in the front, with elastic material around the sides and back.
The Groove Belt® from Groove Life is made out of stretchy material and features a magnetic clip with five color and size options.
