Brook Taverner has long been established as a market leader within the corporate clothing and suiting sector, but where did it all begin.
The story begins on a boat to Calcutta in 1912. On board Frank Brook and Walter Taverner decided on their first business venture, selling buttons to tailors. As the business developed, cloth and linings were added to the range. It was the addition of cloth that moved the business forward to the next level.
Though not easy Brook Taverner came through both world wars and by 1967 with many tailoring shops falling by the wayside it was decided that the future of Brook Taverner laid in a cut, make and trim service. Five years later with a suiting ready to wear range introduced and the Brook Taverner that we know today was born. From this time Brook Taverner has based itself in Yorkshire and become the market leader within the corporate clothing and suiting sector.
JKL Clothing has recently added the entire Brook Taverner range to its online corporate clothing department. It is hoped that by working in close partnership a well established brand such as Brook Taverner, JKL Clothing will be able to offer its customers the choice of high quality suiting garments.

What Not To Wear
Through feedback from our customers and enquiries we have made within the beauty salon market it is clear that a trend is developing and a standardisation of the type of uniform staff are expected to wear within the workplace of a beauty salon.
One recent enquiry received was from a person who had been offered a position in a beauty salon but as the position was on a temporary basis had not been provided with a uniform. This person had found us through the internet and wanted to know what to wear, "will jeans and a smart top be ok"? she queried.
We did point out that surely her new employer would be able to provide more information on the kind of clothing she would be expected to wear but never the less pointed her towards the Beauty & Salon Uniforms section on our website where she would be able see our full range of salon garments.
This enquiry did however provoke a great deal of debate within our office as to what we would expect to see when visiting a beauty salon. I hasten to add myself and Steve provided only a limited opinion on this point, as beauty salons are not on our list of places most visited. All our female staff however were very much of the opinion that one of the things they look at most of all when visiting a beauty salon for the first time is its cleanliness, as was commented on if you are visiting a place where your aim is to leave looking your best you certainly want to feel clean.
I suppose also from an employers point of view it is also vital to portray the professional image that gives customers confidence in both your business and staff.
JKL Clothing are constantly searching the market to find the latest salon uniform designs, so if you don't find what you are looking for first time around please re visit our website as we are always changing and updating our products.

Corporate Clothing and the changing seasons
As the seasons have changed so JKL Clothing along with many corporate clothing and uniform suppliers within our industry have noticed a change in the type of enquiry we have been receiving. Our customers are presently looking for warmer weather clothing, so jacket and coat enquiries are on the increase along with enquiries for hats, scarves and gloves. As the type of clothing changes, so does the type of decoration. As the leaves on the trees start to fall so does the demand for screen printed garments. Our t-shirt printing department has been busy all summer long processing orders for events and promotional merchandise with t-shirts by far and away been the most popular garment been printed. Our particular best seller has been the Gildan Heavy T-shirt this garment obviously ticks all the boxes our customers are looking for in terms of quality and price.
So, with summer giving way to autumn, so printing makes way for embroidery. Embroidery is the obvious choice of garment decoration for jackets and coats where a left chest size logo is required.
JKL Clothing is presently updating our product range in preparation for the new season and change in customer requirements. Most notably is the introduction of the full Brook Taverner range. Brook Taverner garments are often thought of as the market leader within the corporate clothing and uniform market. They have a reputation for quality and already many of our customers are selecting Brook Taverner as their preferred corporate clothing.
Our next task will be to update our salon uniform range. This follows feedback from our customers that they would like to see more choice. So watch this space!
