Uniforms without the drama.
Service without the noise.

If that doesn’t sound like your current supplier, it might be time to rethink who’s kitting out your team. Here are five signs it’s time to make the switch—and why Deane might be the partner you’ve been waiting for.

1. You’re Still Managing Orders in Spreadsheets

If your uniform ordering process feels like a game of Excel Tetris, you’re not alone. Manual systems lead to missed allocations, stock confusion, and endless email chains.

What good looks like: Real-time stock visibility, smart staff allocations, and automated approvals—all in one platform. Deane’s online portal, Silk, puts you in control without the chaos.

2. Your Team’s Complaints Are Piling Up

Ill-fitting garments. Limited sizing. Styles that don’t suit the job. When uniforms become a source of frustration, morale takes a hit.

What good looks like: Fit-for-purpose designs, inclusive sizing, and thoughtful touches that make staff feel confident and comfortable. We sweat the details, so you don’t have to.

3. You’re Chasing Your Supplier (Again)

Late deliveries. Unanswered emails. No clear project plan. If your supplier’s service feels reactive—or worse, absent—it’s time to upgrade.

What good looks like: Specialist implementation teams, clear comms, and onboarding that’s sorted from day one. We take the dread out of uniform rollouts.

4. Your Brand Isn’t Showing Up

Uniforms are frontline brand ambassadors. If yours don’t reflect your values, your standards, or your story, they’re not doing their job.

What good looks like: Custom designs that align with your brand, embroidery and embellishments that elevate your look, and a partner who gets what makes your business tick.

5. You’re Not Seeing the Value

If you’re constantly replacing uniforms, dealing with quality issues, or struggling to justify the spend, it’s time to ask: what are you really paying for?

What good looks like: Garments that go the distance, backed by five stages of testing. Ethical sourcing, sustainable packaging, and a supply chain that’s tight, tested, and transparent.
