Interested in purchasing a uniform while you’re still armed with loads of information? Click on any of the photos above for a direct link to that uniform.
Besides choosing the right fabric for you, you can take away the following:
- Fabrics have been produced for roughly 7000 years, with the earliest fabric being flax/linen and synthetic fabrics being created in the early 1900s
- There are two major types of fabrics: natural and synthetic
- All fabrics have their pros and cons; however people are constantly improving both and have been as long as the fiber has existed
- Blending fibers yields garments that have the better characteristics of the incorporated fabrics: polyester/cotton is soft, breathes nicely, is easy to care for, is durable and holds its color well; polyester/wool is durable, retains its color very well and, in some instances, is machine washable
Now that you’ve attended Galls U Fabrics 101, you should be able to pick out uniform and casual apparel that meets your needs. As a law enforcement officer, emergency medical and/or firefighter, you will have to tailor your uniform to your special needs.
Fighting crime in Miami? May we suggest a poly/cotton uniform? It’s resistant to staining, is easy to care for, and retains color well. Are you an EMT administering aid to hurt people in DC? A nylon jumpsuit may be just what the doctor ordered. Preventing forest fires in the national forests? Besides your bunker gear, you’ll probably want some cotton to wear for its cool breathability.
Depending on the ease of care, how many washings you want to get out of it without losing all of the color, the climate of your environment, etc., you can choose what kind of fabric suits you best. And, best of all, Galls will have your article of clothing in the fabric you choose.
