Mining workwear made in Johannesburg, cut to your site’s specification.

Mining shirts, two-tone and acid-resistant overalls and bunny jackets for contractors and industrial operations, made on our floor in Doornfontein. WhatsApp us your site’s PPE specification, then bring it to the workshop and hold it up against a sample before anything is cut.

Inside The City

What a workshop in Doornfontein changes for a mining buyer.

Most mine sites are a drive out of town. The contractors, engineering shops and procurement offices that kit the crews are often much closer, and that is where a city-based manufacturer earns its place.

  • We are in Doornfontein, not a courier depot outside it

    Our cutting tables, sewing machines and embroidery heads are on Silverwright Avenue, inside Johannesburg. For a contractor’s yard in Booysens or Selby, a sample, a correction or a re-issue is a short drive across town.

  • The person who reads your spec is the person who cuts it

    Cutting, sewing, embroidery and dye-sublimation all happen in our own workshop. When your SHEQ officer flags a reflective band 5cm too high, the correction goes straight to the table that made it, not back through a reseller.

  • Your pattern stays on file after the first run

    Once a crew’s shirts and overalls have been made, we hold the pattern, shades and logo file. The next contractor intake is a repeat of a garment we already know, not a fresh development job.

Bring the rejected garment with you Johannesburg buyers tend to WhatsApp before they email anything, and then ask to see the workshop. That suits industrial kit well: bring the overall your site turned away and the specification it failed, and we will show you on the floor what we would change.
Where It Goes Wrong

Why mining workwear orders get sent back.

Industrial kit is rarely rejected for being badly sewn. It is rejected for not matching a document somebody forgot to send the supplier.

The specification comes from your risk assessment, not our catalogue

Every site sets its own requirements for fabric, reflective placement and protective properties. A supplier who opens with a product list rather than asking what you have to comply with is going to cost you a rejected delivery.

Crew sizes move month to month

Contractor headcount on a site is never stable. Holding patterns and fabric for a client is what makes a mid-month top-up a short production run instead of a fresh minimum order.

The crew gets turned back at the gate, not at your yard

Kit that looked fine in a Booysens or City Deep yard can still fail a site’s induction check on reflective placement or colour. When that happens you need the fix this week, from someone you can phone. A Doornfontein workshop lets you drive the failed shirt over, stand at the cutting table and agree the change in one visit.

Off Our Floor

Two-tone and reflective workwear we have actually made.

These photographs come from the industrial workwear order we manufactured for Enigmatic Logistics and Plant Hire, and from our own sewing floor. They are our work, not stock images — shown so you can judge the cut, the two-tone panels and how the reflective is sewn down.

How It Works

From site specification to an issued crew, in five steps.

The first step is a document, not a garment. Skip it and the order is built on a guess about what your site will accept.

  • Send us the site’s specification in writing

    Fabric, colours, reflective tape and placement, sleeve length and any protective property your risk assessment requires. If the principal contractor issues its own PPE list, send that too, before we quote.

  • Split the crew by job and by size

    Underground, plant, workshop and supervisors often need different garments. Send the headcount in each group, so the quote covers long and short sleeves, overalls and jackets in the right numbers.

  • Check a branded sample against the document

    We make a sample with your logo and reflective. Your SHEQ officer checks it against the specification, line by line, and signs it off or marks it up before production starts.

  • Production in Doornfontein

    Cutting, sewing and embroidery happen in our own workshop. Confirm the current turnaround when you order — it moves with the load on our floor, and we would rather say so than promise a date.

  • Delivery packed by size, then re-issues on request

    Orders go out bagged and sorted by size for easy issuing. We keep your pattern and logo file, so new contractors get the same garment as the rest of the crew.

Keep a size buffer in the store room

Contractor crews turn over faster than any supplier can cut. Ordering a handful of extra shirts and overalls in the two or three most common sizes means a new starter is issued on day one, and the next production run can wait until the buffer is used.

Where We Deliver

Yards, workshops and site offices we reach from Doornfontein.

Johannesburg’s southern industrial belt is a short run from our floor. Sites further out on the West Rand and beyond get delivery by arrangement, and anywhere else in South Africa by courier.

Questions

What procurement and SHEQ officers ask before ordering.

What does mining workwear cost in Johannesburg?

As of October 2026 our indicative per-unit prices are R500 for a long-sleeve mining shirt, R400 for a short-sleeve one, R850 for an acid-resistant overall, R800 for an overall jumpsuit and R750 to R850 for a bunny jacket. Work trousers are quoted to your specification. Prices may vary based on specific requirements, and bulk discounts start at 100 units.

Can you make workwear to our site's PPE specification?

Yes, and that is where we start. Send us the specification your site or principal contractor issues: fabric, colours, reflective tape and placement, and any protective properties required. We make the sample to it and you check it against the document before production. We do not certify garments against a standard ourselves, so sign-off against your risk assessment stays with your SHEQ team.

Do you make acid-resistant and two-tone overalls?

Yes. An acid-resistant overall is on our published PPE list at R850, and an overall jumpsuit at R800, as of October 2026. Two-tone is how we usually cut them: a hi-vis top half over a navy lower half, with reflective banding on the body, sleeves and legs. Confirm the fabric's protective rating against what your site requires before you order.

How do re-issues work when our crew numbers change?

After the first run we keep your pattern, colours and embroidery file in our Doornfontein workshop. A re-issue for new contractors then repeats a garment we have already made, instead of starting a new development job. We do not publish a fixed turnaround because it moves with the load on our floor, so send the sizes on WhatsApp and confirm the timing when you order.

Is there a discount for a large crew order?

Yes. Bulk discounts apply from 100 units, with better rates at 250 and 500 units. The band is worked out on your written quote, so a crew order that mixes shirts, overalls and jackets is priced against the full quantity. We do not publish a fixed percentage, because it depends on the garments and the branding involved.

Can we inspect the workwear before we order?

Yes. Our workshop is on Silverwright Avenue in Doornfontein, Johannesburg. A procurement or SHEQ officer can come and handle the fabric, check how the reflective is sewn down and bring the site specification to compare against a sample. Most Johannesburg buyers WhatsApp us first and visit afterwards, and a contractor's yard in Booysens or Selby is a short drive away.

Send us the spec and the crew list.
