Hi-vis reflective safety vest with reflective banding, made in our Doornfontein workshop
Johannesburg & Gauteng

Security uniforms for Johannesburg guarding companies, sewn in Doornfontein.

Guarding shirts, reflective jackets and night-shift kit for security companies across the CBD, City Deep and Booysens. WhatsApp us your headcount, then come and look at the fabric on our floor before you sign anything.

Inside The City

Guarding kit is a replacement business. Buy it from someone nearby.

A security company rarely runs out of uniforms all at once. It runs short one officer at a time, every week, and the supplier that matters is the one who can match last month’s shirt without a new minimum order.

  • We are in Doornfontein, a few minutes from the CBD

    Our cutting tables, sewing floor and embroidery heads are on Silverwright Avenue. For a control room in the CBD or a depot contract in City Deep, that is a short drive, not a courier depot outside the city.

  • Your pattern, colours and badge files stay on our floor

    After the first run we hold the pattern and the embroidery files for your company mark. A replacement set for a new officer becomes a short run of the same garment, in the same shade.

  • Manufactured here, not imported

    Cutting, sewing and embroidery happen in our own workshop, so a change to a collar, a pocket or the reflective placement goes straight to the people who make the next batch.

Phone first, then come and look Most Johannesburg security buyers start on WhatsApp and then want to see the workshop. That suits us. Bring the shirt that faded or the jacket whose reflective stopped working, and we will show you what we would make instead.
What Goes Wrong

Where security uniforms let a company down.

The garment rarely tears. It is the timing, the reflective and the night shift that cause the problems.

Staff turnover, not wear, drives the re-order

Guarding has some of the highest turnover of any sector we supply. The number that matters is not the unit price - it is how fast a replacement set arrives when someone starts on Monday.

Night and roadside posts need reflective that survives washing

Reflective tape degrades with every industrial wash long before the garment fails. A uniform that was compliant in March can be effectively invisible by September if nobody planned for the replacement cycle.

City Deep at 2am is a different uniform from the CBD at noon

A guard on a City Deep or Booysens depot gate works open yards and cold Highveld nights. A guard at a CBD building reception works indoors in front of visitors. Issuing both the same kit leaves one cold and the other underdressed, so split the order by post rather than by headcount.

Real Work

Reflective and hi-vis work we have actually produced.

These are photographs of garments made in our Doornfontein workshop, not catalogue renders. The vest and the hi-vis shirt are from our workwear order for Enigmatic Logistics and Plant Hire — the same reflective and embroidery work a guarding uniform relies on.

How It Works

How a guarding company gets kitted out.

Five steps. The first one saves the most money.

  • List your posts, not just your officers

    Night gates, day receptions, patrol vehicles and supervisors need different garments. Tell us how many officers work each type of post and we build the order around that split.

  • Colours, insignia and reflective placement

    We agree the shirt and trouser shades, where the company mark and rank go, and where the reflective sits. Check your colours and insignia against current PSIRA guidance at this stage, before anything is cut.

  • A sample worn on a real shift

    We make a sample set with your badging. Put an officer in it for a night shift and tell us what to change before we run the batch.

  • Production in Doornfontein

    Cutting, sewing and embroidery all happen in our own workshop. Confirm the current turnaround when you order, because it moves with the load on our floor.

  • Delivery, then replacements on request

    We deliver to your office or depot and keep your pattern and badge files. When a new officer starts, you WhatsApp us the size and we run the same garment again.

Plan the reflective on its own cycle

Reflective items usually need replacing before the shirts and trousers do. Budgeting for them separately, and checking them under a torch every few months, is cheaper than finding out on a dark road that a vest has stopped doing its job.

Questions

What security companies ask before they order.

What do security uniforms cost in Johannesburg?

As of September 2026 our indicative per-unit prices are R350 for a traffic or reflective jacket, R300 for a branded bird-eye golfer and R750 to R850 for a bunny jacket for winter night posts. Guarding shirts, trousers and badging are quoted to your specification. Prices may vary based on specific requirements, and bulk discounts start at 100 units.

How quickly can you kit out a new security officer?

Once we have made your first run, we keep your pattern and your embroidery files in our Doornfontein workshop. That turns a replacement set for a new officer into a short production run rather than a fresh minimum order. We do not publish a fixed turnaround because it moves with the load on our floor, so confirm it with us when you order.

How long does reflective tape last on a security uniform?

Usually less time than the garment around it. Reflective tape loses performance with repeated washing, especially hot industrial washing, and it fades gradually rather than failing on a particular day. The practical answer is to check it on a schedule, under a torch or headlights at night, and budget for replacing reflective items on their own cycle.

Can you put names, ranks and company badges on guarding uniforms?

Yes. Embroidery is done in-house in Doornfontein, so your company mark, officer names and rank marking can be stitched onto the garment rather than printed on. Embroidered marks hold up to repeated washing better than print. Tell us what each rank needs to show and we will quote the badging per job.

Do security uniforms have to follow PSIRA rules?

The Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) regulates the industry. In 2021 it gazetted rules restricting uniforms and insignia that resemble the police or the military; industry body SASA challenged them, and as reported in April 2024 they were temporarily revoked while consultation continued. Check the current position with PSIRA before you choose colours and insignia.

Can we come and see the uniforms being made?

Yes. Our workshop is on Silverwright Avenue in Doornfontein, inside Johannesburg, and buyers are welcome to see the fabric, the embroidery and the stitching before they commit. For a guarding company in the CBD or City Deep that is a short drive, and it is the quickest way to settle a question about fabric weight.
