Branded workwear for outdoor, adventure and leisure teams
Trusted by leisure, outdoor and travel operators
Why leisure operators choose us
Leisure and outdoor teams rarely have simple uniform needs. One order might include embroidered polos for reception, waterproof jackets for instructors, fleeces for grounds teams and aprons for catering. We produce branded garments in-house at our Manchester facility, with artwork and production checks built into every order, so quality stays consistent whether you're ordering one replacement item or kitting out a full seasonal intake.
Made for working outdoors
Activity leaders, outdoor instructors and grounds teams need garments that perform outside, not just clothing that looks good on a product page. We stock softshells, waterproof jackets, fleeces, gilets and performance fabrics from brands including Regatta, Stormtech, The North Face and Result. Our team checks the garment, logo and decoration method before production.

Easy to reorder as teams change
Seasonal staffing makes fixed bulk ordering difficult. With no minimum order on print and embroidery, managers can order one item for a new starter or repeat a full team order when needed. That reduces spare stock, cuts down on guesswork and keeps uniform ordering closer to real demand.

One look across every role
Holiday parks, activity centres and multi-site leisure operators often need uniform for front-of-house, instructors, lifeguards, catering, housekeeping and maintenance. We help keep branding consistent across different garments, fabrics and order sizes, whether one site is ordering or several.
A simpler alternative to bulk-only uniform ordering
Case study: PGL
PGL is one of the UK's best-known outdoor activity and adventure education providers, running residential activity centres across the UK and Europe. Its teams need uniform that looks consistent, works in active outdoor settings and can keep pace with seasonal staffing. PGL wanted to move away from a traditional stockholding model. Clothes2order supported a more flexible approach, with branded uniform produced when needed and a simpler ordering process for teams.
Consistent staff uniform
High-quality branded garments help PGL maintain a consistent look across activity centres, roles and locations.
Less reliance on stockholding
An on-demand model helps reduce the need to hold large volumes of pre-ordered garments in advance.
Easier ordering for teams
A single ordering platform makes it easier for procurement teams and centre managers to order approved uniform when needed.

Uniforms for every team on site

Most leisure businesses need more than one style of uniform. A reception team may need embroidered polos or shirts. Outdoor instructors may need waterproof jackets, fleeces and softshells. Maintenance teams may need hard-wearing layers and hi-vis. Food and beverage teams may need aprons, chef wear and easy-care garments.
We can supply branded clothing across the full operation, so every role has kit that works for the job while still looking part of the same organisation.

Uniform ordering that fits seasonal teams
Outdoor and leisure operators rarely have simple uniform needs. Staff numbers change quickly before peak season. New starters join after the main order has already been placed. Different roles need different garments, from performance polos and softshell jackets to aprons, hi-vis and waterproof outerwear.
A bulk-only ordering model can leave you guessing sizes, holding spare stock and dealing with manual distribution across sites. Our model is built around smaller repeat orders as well as larger rollouts. You can order when people actually need kit, in the right size, with branding checked before production.
For larger operators, we can also support approved product ranges, site-level ordering and managed uniform portals through our corporate team.

New starters should not have to wait for the next bulk order
Seasonal operators often recruit in waves. Some staff join before the season starts. Others join later, replace leavers or move between sites. A single bulk order at the start of the season can quickly become out of date.
Because we produce branded garments on demand, managers can order what is needed when staff join. That might be one polo, ten fleeces or a larger order before peak season. It keeps ordering flexible and helps reduce the spare stock that builds up when sizes or headcount are guessed too early.
For larger operators, our corporate team can set up a managed ordering portal. Sites or managers can order from an approved range while central teams keep control of branding, products and spend.

The decoration method matters on outdoor garments
Technical and synthetic garments need careful decoration. A method that works well on a cotton t-shirt may not be suitable for a softshell, fleece, waterproof jacket or polyester performance top.
For many synthetic fabrics, DTF printing or embroidery can be a better choice than DTG. For polos, sweatshirts and smart-casual uniform, embroidery is often the most professional option. The right answer depends on the garment, fabric, logo and how the item will be worn.
You do not need to make that call alone. Our production team checks every order before it goes into production and will flag issues if a design, placement or decoration method is not suitable.

Guest-facing teams are part of the experience
In holiday parks, resorts, activity centres and travel businesses, uniform does more than identify staff. It helps guests know who to approach. It makes teams easier to recognise across busy sites. It also says something about the quality of the operation.
We supply branded clothing for reception, activity teams, catering, housekeeping, entertainment, retail and maintenance. Orders are produced in-house at our Manchester facility, with artwork and production checks built into the process.

Common questions from leisure and outdoor operators
-
Q1: Can we order small numbers of garments for individual new starters?
Yes. There is no minimum order on print or embroidery, so you can order one item for a new starter or a larger quantity for a full team. Each order goes through the same artwork and production checks.
Q2: Do you stock garments suitable for outdoor work?
Yes. We stock softshells, waterproof jackets, fleeces, gilets, performance polos and hi-vis options from brands including Regatta, Stormtech, The North Face and Result.
Q3: Can you supply uniform for different teams on one site?
Yes. We can supply clothing for reception, activity teams, catering, housekeeping, entertainment, maintenance, retail and event staff. This helps keep ordering simpler and branding more consistent.
Q4: We operate across several sites. Can each site order its own uniform?
For larger operators, yes. Our corporate team can set up a managed ordering portal with approved garments and branding, plus site-level ordering. Smaller multi-site teams can also order through the standard Clothes2order website with no setup required.
Q5: What decoration method do you use on outdoor and technical garments?
It depends on the fabric, garment and logo. For many synthetic and technical garments, DTF printing or embroidery is more suitable than DTG. Our team checks each order before production and will flag anything that may affect the final result.
Q6: Can we repeat a previous order using the same artwork?
Yes. Repeat ordering is useful for seasonal teams, replacement garments and new starters. Saved artwork and previous order details make it easier to keep branding consistent.
Q7: Can you help us keep colours consistent across different garments?
Yes. Different brands and fabrics can vary slightly in colour, even when the colour name is the same. Our team can help you choose a range that works well together and keeps your staff uniform looking consistent.
Q8: Can we approve artwork before production?
Proofs/approval for embroidered logos are available as standard. All orders are checked before production, and any artwork issues are flagged by our team. If your brand team needs a particular approval process, speak to us before ordering so we can advise on the best route.
Q9: How fast can you turn orders around?
Standard production is typically 3 to 5 working days for most orders. Next day options are available on selected garments and decoration methods. For large seasonal intakes, we recommend planning ahead where possible.
