Overalls, hi-vis and branded work shirts for workshops in Selby, City Deep, Booysens and across the city — cut and sewn in Doornfontein, minutes from your bay. When a new technician starts on Monday, you are not waiting on an import cycle.
Most workshops do not have a uniform crisis on day one. They have it four months later, when two people have left, one overall has been written off by a gearbox, and nobody can get matching kit without ordering fifty.
Our cutting tables, embroidery heads and sewing floor are in Silverwright Avenue, Doornfontein. For a workshop in Selby or City Deep that is a short drive, which means you can come and look at fabric weight before you commit, rather than approving a swatch photo on WhatsApp.
Once we have made your first run, we hold the pattern and the embroidery file. A top-up of three overalls for new staff becomes a short production run rather than a fresh minimum order negotiation.
We manufacture rather than import, so when you say the sleeve is catching on the hoist or the pocket is in the wrong place for a torque wrench, that feedback goes to the person who cuts the next one.
None of them are about the garment falling apart. They are about branding, roles and timing.
A printed logo on a workshop overall lifts within a season of solvent and industrial washing. Embroidered marks survive it, which is why every workshop that has been through one cheap order asks for embroidery on the second.
Service advisors face customers and need a branded golfer that still looks presentable at 4pm. Technicians need something that can be ruined. Buying one garment for both means one of them is wrong.
Workshops around Booysens and Selby often buy a cheap first batch from whoever quoted lowest, then discover the fabric has been discontinued when they need four more. Matching a discontinued shade is worse than paying slightly more the first time.
Indicative per-unit prices from our published list, September 2026. They move with quantity, fabric and specification — a written quote is the firm number.
Bulk discounts apply from 100 units, with better rates at 250 and 500. Prices may vary based on specific requirements.

More of our production and delivered orders is in the gallery, and the full workwear and PPE range sits on the corporate and PPE page.
Five steps. The one that decides everything is the second.
Eight technicians, two service advisors and a washbay is three different garments, not eleven of the same thing. That split is the first thing we ask about.
Weight, sleeve length, reflective placement, and whether you need acid resistance. This is where a workshop uniform is actually decided, and it is worth a conversation rather than a tick box.
We produce a sample with your embroidery on it. You put it on someone, they work a shift in it, and you tell us what to change before we run the batch.
Cutting, sewing and embroidery all happen in our Doornfontein workshop. Confirm the current turnaround with us when you order — it moves with the load on the floor.
We deliver to your workshop and keep your pattern and logo file on file, which is what makes the next three-set top-up quick rather than a fresh negotiation.
The most useful thing you can hand us at a first meeting is the overall that did not last. We can usually tell from the wear pattern whether it was the fabric weight, the seam construction or the wash regime — and that decides what we make you instead.
We are inside the city, so most of Johannesburg's motor trade is a short run from our floor. Outside Gauteng we courier nationwide.
As of September 2026 our indicative per-unit prices are R800 for an overall jumpsuit, R850 for an acid-resistant overall, R350 for a traffic or reflective jacket, R400 to R500 for a heavy work shirt and R250 to R300 for a branded bird-eye golfer. Prices move with quantity and specification, and bulk discounts start at 100 units.
One-piece overalls give better coverage under a vehicle and are simpler to issue. Two-piece sets let a technician replace only the half that wears out, which is usually the trousers, and are more comfortable in a hot workshop. Most Johannesburg workshops we supply end up with one-piece for the pit and two-piece for general service work.
Often not. Printed logos on workshop garments tend to lift or crack once solvents and hot industrial washing get to them. Embroidered branding is stitched into the fabric so it survives both. We embroider workshop branding for this reason and recommend it over print for anything worn in the bay.
Yes, and they should be different garments. Service advisors face customers all day and need a branded bird-eye golfer that still presents well at closing time. Technicians need something built to be ruined. Buying one garment for both roles means one of the two is always wrong.
There is no fixed public minimum and we quote per job. What matters economically is the embroidery setup, which is a once-off cost spread across the order, so a run of ten garments carries it far better than a run of two. Bulk discounts apply from 100 units, with better rates at 250 and 500.
That is the practical advantage of manufacturing in Doornfontein rather than importing. Once we hold your pattern and your embroidery file, a top-up of a few sets is a short production run instead of a fresh minimum order. Confirm current turnaround with us when you order, as it moves with workshop load.
