There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to uniforms. Every business is unique.
That’s why I. Buss & Allan offers flexibility when it comes to custom uniforms. We outfit you just the way you need it.
The only question you have to ask yourself is: Am I renting or am I buying?
Custom Uniforms To Rent?
Our custom uniforms are available as as a full-service rental. The agreements typically run 4 years or more, and each week we will pick up and clean the uniforms, take care of any repairs and replace items as needed. This way you’re employees are ALWAYS looking their best.
Let’s face it, uniforms are meant to be worn and that means inevitable wear-and-tear. Seams become frayed, buttons break free, and colors fade. Even a single missing detail can bring down your image. By renting, you don’t have to worry about keeping up appearances, we’ll handle that for you!
People and staff change too. That’s why we offer tailoring and alteration services to keep your uniforms looking just right no matter who wears it. No more hand-me-down blazers, I. Buss & Allan will have you passing the torch in style.
Need a full uniform replacement? We go one step further by switching them out before anyone even has a chance to notice. No need to repurchase that vest or jacket after it reaches the point of no return.
And, of course, no professional uniform rental service is complete without professional cleaning on the regular. Sending your uniforms in every week to be thoroughly cleaned and shipping back really takes the load off your shoulders. Don’t bother with that giant industrial washer taking up space and energy.
Custom Uniforms To Buy?
While renting is the best way to ensure quality without doing the work yourself, sometimes it makes more sense to buy.
If you already have in-house laundry services or tailors, it can be more cost-effective to purchase the uniforms outright and handle those aspects yourself. Just make sure you have a cleaning plan in place that’s appropriate for your uniforms to prevent premature wear-and-tear and – of course – a tailor who knows their stuff.
Your location can be a deciding factor as well. How far are you from the uniform company? How big is your usual uniform load? The cost of shipping – or otherwise transporting – your uniforms can really add up over time.
Purchasing can be ideal when you already run a tight ship. If you take pride in your uniforms – and have the right tools or skills – what’s stopping you from doing it yourself? Just know your limits.
So What’s Best For You?
Which option is best for you depends on your needs, limitations, and style of management.
Uniforms are a near-constant concern; you’re either outfitting new employees or maintaining the uniforms of existing ones. It can be a burden off your back by renting or another part of your well-oiled machine by buying.
Take a look at the big picture of your operation, identify your needs, and know that you’ve got options either way!
