What does a modern uniform need to deliver? In this episode of The Uniformer, Rick Levine talks with Nicolette Dykstra and Chip Danby of Edwards Garment about the shift toward more comfortable, casual, and versatile career apparel—and the work behind balancing style, durability, performance, and value.
The conversation explores the Essentials by Edwards collection, the importance of reliable inventory and product continuity, and how distributors can build focused programs for specific markets. Nicolette and Chip discuss stretch utility pants, quarter-zips, culinary apparel, and the growing demand for easy-care garments that employees want to wear.
They also explain how stock and custom programs complement each other, how collaboration with EdwardsX informs new products, and why closer connections between sales teams, designers, and end users lead to better uniform solutions.
