Always U™ collection

Always U is your uniform reimagined.  A new standard in workwear from UniFirst, engineered for active teams to move the way they work. It is built around four core pillars: all-day comfort, modern style, purpose-built for the job, and uncompromising value. It’s the uniform your team will actually want to wear.

Always U is designed to replace restrictive, outdated workwear with modern, comfortable workwear featuring 10%–12% more flex than standard uniforms. These uniforms enhance mobility through specialized features like engineered stretch fabric, articulated knees, integrated crotch gussets, and elastic waistbands, while offering modern, professional styling for today’s active teams.

Key differentiators include:

• Comfort & Mobility: Built for the way teams work with 10%–12% more stretch than standard work uniforms. Pants and shorts feature elastic waistbands and integrated crotch gussets for all-day comfort, and articulated knees for unrestricted mobility.
• Modern, Professional Designs: A streetwear-inspired cut with versatile work shirts that support tucked or untucked shirt lengths, a modern collar with an internal stand, and large utility pockets that lay flat for maximum storage without added bulk.
• Functional Bottoms: Pants are built to withstand the toughest jobs and feature a classic jean-style back yoke (men’s), patch back pockets (men’s), extra-wide belt loops, a secure metal shank button closure, and reinforced double-needle stitching for lasting durability.
• Women’s Fit & Function: Reimagined to complement a woman’s natural profile—purpose-built, not adapted from men’s cuts. Features include specific shirt waist shaping and length, a contoured mid-rise fit for pants and shorts, hidden shirt and cargo pockets, and lay-flat pocket construction for a clean, bulk-free look.
• Uncompromising Value: This collection is loaded with premium features, functionality, and quality, minus the premium price tag. You get budget-friendly pricing and uniforms that your team will actually want to wear.

Always U garments are engineered for you with 10–12% more stretch than standard work uniforms. That additional range of movement is built directly into the fabric construction, so workers can bend, reach, and move freely — staying productive and comfortable from the first hour of a shift to the last.

Yes. Always U includes women’s designs that are reimagined to complement a woman’s natural profile. These garments, including women’s stretch work pants, are purpose-built for hard work—not simply resized versions of men’s cuts. Every piece is designed to deliver all-day comfort and a professional appearance for women on active teams.

Key features include:

• Lay-Flat Pockets: Engineered to prevent bulging and maintain a streamlined profile on pants and shirts.
• Tailored Fit: Shirt waist shaping and length engineered specifically for a woman’s body.

Always U is purpose-built for active teams across a wide range of industries, including Automotive, Industrial Wholesale, Contracting & Trades, Transportation & Warehousing, Manufacturing, Field Services and more.

It's a strong fit for any role where workers are on their feet, operating equipment, or in constant movement throughout a shift — and where employers need uniforms that stay professional without compromising on comfort or durability.

Yes. Always U uniforms are built for hard work and engineered to withstand industrial laundering. Shrink resistant and wrinkle resistant, they retain their fit, appearance, and structure through repeated high-temperature wash and dry cycles. That durability supports your total cost of ownership and keeps your team looking professional shift after shift.

Yes. UniFirst provides 24/7 access to the UniFirst Portal, where you can manage garment inventory, track orders, review account details, and submit service requests — at any time, from anywhere.

For procurement managers and operations directors overseeing large or multi-location programs, the portal centralizes program management and reduces the administrative work of running a uniform program day to day.

There’s true power in a uniform that fits properly, works efficiently, and lasts under pressure. When your workers are comfortable, they can focus. When they look and feel professional, morale rises. And when their apparel stands up to every challenge, trust is built between you and your employees.

Switching improves employee morale and productivity by providing comfortable, durable, and modern workwear. Contact one of our uniform experts to bring you a sample to experience how.
