Tabard / Over-garment workwear
Description
The EasyCare Tabard with Pocket (Alexandra style code W112) is a traditional, easy-care work tabard designed for use in healthcare, housekeeping, catering and general service environments. It features a front patch pocket and adjustable side stud fastenings that allow the wearer to tailor the fit and maintain freedom of movement while working. Constructed from a durable 195gsm polyester/cotton fabric, the tabard is hardwearing yet comfortable for all-day wear. The fabric mix is specified as 67% polyester and 33% cotton on Medisave’s listing, providing good colour fastness, resilience to repeated laundering and easy maintenance. The garment has an approximate length of 70 cm and is available in a variety of colours (including bottle green, pale blue, royal blue, navy, white, burgundy and black) and a full size range from Small to 2XL, making it suitable as part of a coordinated uniform. The tabard is machine washable up to 50 °C and can be personalised with embroidered logos, making it a practical and professional option for staff uniforms.
