Company History
Solid Foundations:
Signature Clothing Pty Ltd is a private family owned company that has become one of Australias premium suppliers of Corporate Uniforms, Workwear, Sports and Leisure Wear.
The company built its strength and reputation for quality as a specialist in the commercial embroidered logo business started in 1989. The first 10 years were a period of heavy investment in the best technology available in concert with training with the worlds leading embroidery educator, US based Walter Floriani and consistantly updating systems and equipment to remain at the forefront of our market.
The core of the business was perfecting the embroidered logo business, as it is the key to the perfect finished garment.
In 2003 the factory became the biggest embroidery operation in the Hunter Valley with our latest large multi head Tajima machine added to the existing mulit head factory opperation.

Development of Clothing Operation:
The launch of the clothing company in 2000 was a natural progression by ramping up to commercial scale the processes we had used successfully for the previous 11 years.
Over the years we have listened to what our clients wanted and now operate Australia Wide via, Phone, Fax, Mail Order, e-mail and In Person in our showroom to pick up, post or courier deliver corporate, work and sportswear apparel that is inovative, creative and at the premium end of the quality spectrum.
Constant development, driven by feedback from our client base and research of national and international trends has moulded our current range featuring the market leading StyleCorp and Hard Yakka labels in concert with several companion labels that compliment each other to fill client demand for premium uniform solutions at affordable price points.

Customer Focused, Customer Driven:
Our extensive showroom features over 1000 pieces of Shirts and Blouses, Trousers, Shorts, Skirts and Jackets on display as well as Caps, Hats, Bags, Workboots and Accessories for the corporate and industrial work environments.
We have developed an extensive range of sporting and casual clothing including polo shirts, pants, slacks, shorts, jackets, caps and hats to meet the promotional requirements of our business clients as well as social and playing kit for clubs and teams as diverse as cricket, football to sailing and golf.
|
Supply Chain Management:
We have always believed in forging close and honest working relationships with our clients and working with them to develop an understanding of their environment, image, culture and needs, ensuring the apparel we supply is fit for purpose as well as visually appealing.
As testament to the success of this focus we still service our very first customer from 1989 and pride ourselves on a high retention rate of loyal and delighted clients who continually honour us with repeat business.
We have set up a reorder system that makes the process seamless.
We do this whilst maintaining the highest standards of honesty, integrity, committment and reliability.
|
The flip side of the equation is the ability to compete in this market whilst offering greater value than our competitors.
This is only possible by an intimate relationship with our manufacturers and suppliers.
We are proud and honoured to have the backing and support developed over the years with companies like Yakka and StyleCorp, City Collection, James Harvest, GloWeave, Legend, Stencil, Be Seen, Biz Collection as well as our partner factory that produces our own Signature Sports label.
|
We meet regularly with the management of these suppliers to foster the intimacy required to enable us to negotiate the best deal for our clients as well as trust them to listen to our requests and feedback from clients.
It is this interaction that formulates the range they produce for us to stock.
|
100% Quality Guarantee:
Put simply, if the apparel doesn't pass our stringent design, manufacture, style, value and durability standards we will not stock or supply it.
Signature Clothing has offered, since inception, a 100% Repair, Replace or Refund Guarantee comfortable in the knowledge our reputation rides on every garment we supply.
From the initial garment selection through to the logo design and production stage we have set the benchmark in our market.
Always have, always will.

Production Capabilities:
With the backing of our diverse network of suppliers and manufacturers, Signature Clothing has the ability to supply every level of corporation, business, club, school, sport and community organisation.
Our embroidery factory has the capacity to produce premium logoed garments and headwear from 1 to 10s of thousands.
By not setting unrealistic minimiums we ensure all clients have equal opportunity to be fitted out with the level of service and range our clients have come to know and expect from us.
One of the major advantages of our equipment is the ability to offer 3 point embroidery on caps in a single run, saving a great deal of time and money. 3 point embroidery is when the front and sides of the cap are sequentially embroidered without having to reframe the cap for each logo.
We also have the ability via our high end software to infinately scale the logo from a small cap side to a large jacket back thus saving the client the cost of multiple logo setup costs.
Having several single, 4 and 6 head machines locally and 12 and 20 head machines in our partner factory ensures jobs can be scheduled to run on the most efficient equipment for the order size with perfect repeatability.
Clients can choose from our extensive ready to wear range apparel or we can design up a custom made garment to suit the clients specific needs.
Add pockets, short or long sleeves, contrast panels or colour co-ordinate garment trims to your corporate or sports team identity.
Local custom make with a 3-4 week lead time to create your own Australian Made garment using our extensive range of stock fabrics.
Alternatively, we can offer the substantial cost benefits of having customised garments and headwear manufactured and embroidered offshore with our indent program allowing unique design and manufacture options including all over embroidery for caps and hats.
Minimiums start from just 144 pieces with a 6-9 week turnaround.

Vision for the Future:
Signature Clothing has already become the supplier of choice for many of Australia's major corporations, businesses, sporting clubs and community organisations as well as an established and respected provider to over 1000 small businesses, clubs and schools throughout Australia, Asia and the Middle East.
As the largest premium corporate uniform company in the region we plan to maintain our position as 'The Corporate Image Professionals' to our existing and future clients.
By applying the same principals of Honesty, Integrity, Reliability and Ingenuity together with outstanding Value that made us the leaders in the Corporate sector we plan to continue developing our Workwear presence on the back of the premium Hard Yakka label supported with the economical Men at Work range.
In 2005 we were proud to introduce to the Hunter Valley the prestigeous James Harvest and Beacon Sportswear USA ranges of polos, smart casual & business shirts and jackets into our range.
Our custom made Signature Sports label of polos, sweats and tracksuits will remain a core product continuing the association with our clothing factory partners since 1989.
