1. Classic uniform design for longevity

A uniform is an investment in your brand, staff and customer experience, so you want to be confident it has longevity in its quality and style. 

The power of classic colours like navy, black and white, means your uniform has longevity and doesn’t date.

Our aprons really are the perfect canvas to complete with your logo, so that you can showcase your brand loud and proud.

Our wide range of hotel uniforms takes on a classic yet contemporary approach, so you can be sure you’re choosing uniforms your staff will be proud to wear.

2. Cohesive brand styling

We're passionate about helping you create a contemporary signature brand by bringing together a look that is cohesive across your brand, uniform and interior aesthetic. 

It only takes one accessory, from a scarf to a belt, to elevate your entire staff’s uniform.

Combining this with the finishing touch of your logo embroidery helps create a cohesive, on-brand experience for your customers. 

Our entire uniform range works cohesively so you can be confident we’ll put together looks for your entire crew that unite the venue through the perfect uniform. From hotel managers to the front desk, cafe to the bar, and right through to your star chefs the kitchen staff - we've got you covered.

You can book a free styling session at our showroom where you'll get advice from our specialised client service crew and you can even try on our garments in our change rooms. And coffee is on us too!

4. High Quality Uniform Supplier

Choose a uniform supplier that can get the job done – front to back. Managing multiple suppliers can be a headache. Look for a uniform supplier that has great service, rave customer reviews and their products are high quality that will endure the necessary wear and tear of a workplace.  

Don’t make your job harder by purchasing a little here and a little there. From t-shirts to suiting, we have every option in our range to provide a cohesive and stylish look across the board. 

At Cargo Crew, we hold stock at our Melbourne-based warehouse for easy replenishment and offer wholesale pricing direct to your hotel.

Style is important to us but so is the quality. That’s why our fabrics are tried and tested ensuring comfort, easy care and durability.

We're committed to creating products that work harder and deliver more! A uniform that bears the Cargo Crew logo comes with the confidence that you're wearing a sustainable garment that's built to last and has been produced in an ethical way.

Whilst all clothing, including uniforms, are subject to wear and tear, a genuine and never-ending focus on R&D and Innovation ensures Cargo Crew uniforms are made to wear on repeat.

From abrasion testing to extreme tear-force levels, we make sure your uniform is ready to handle movement, hot conditions and hundreds of washes. We test our uniforms everyday...literally!

Our Fight the Fade aprons, 100% cotton shirts and bi-stretch suiting are just a few initiatives we are taking to help us deliver a wide range of high-quality uniforms to your business.

Built for work, designed to last, made to get the job done.
