Questions
About Drill
Cotton or PC drill for workwear?
PC drill holds shade and shape through industrial laundering and costs less. Cotton drill is more comfortable in heat and is preferred near heat sources, since polyester melts. Tell us the working conditions.
Can drill be supplied in uniform shades?
Yes. We dye to your uniform shade from a swatch, with a lab dip for approval before bulk.
