Fabric Testing Standards

We are very proud of our garments, setting high standards for our fabrics to ensure that they retain their colour and shape, wash after wash. We are just as particular about manufacturing standards too - so that seams are double-stitched, hems are securely finished and reinforcement and binding are used so that our garments can withstand the toughest of working conditions.

As part of our quality control practices we regularly test our fabrics in independent laboratories to make sure that they comply with our own and/or Australian Standards (as appropriate).

TUFFWEAR garments surpass the relevant Australian Standards for:
