In this episode of The Uniformer, Rick Levine talks with Christina Parise, Director of Product Management for Elbeco by LION, about how public safety uniforms are evolving to meet the real-world needs of the people who wear them.
Christina shares how Elbeco’s long history and its combination with LION have strengthened the brand, while also giving an inside look at the technical detail behind modern law enforcement, fire, EMS, corrections, transit, and security uniforms. The conversation explores stretch fabrics, external ballistic carriers, wash-and-wear garments, female fit, tactical influences, and the challenge of balancing comfort, mobility, durability, and professional appearance.
They also discuss Elbeco’s expansion into Class C and D tactical uniforms, the growth of its CX360 program, the award-winning Stretch Blouse Coat, and the development of a distinctive new uniform for the Atlanta Police Department for the FIFA World Cup.
It’s a practical look at how customer feedback, fabric innovation, changing workplace expectations, and new performance demands are shaping the next generation of public safety uniforms.
