Stanfield’s Shirts and Long Underwear: The Warmth You Need on the Worksite
As the temperature drops, no resource is more crucial to the worksite than warm clothes. Being out in the elements for hours on end poses a serious risk of frostbite and even hypothermia. Moreover, thermal discomfort makes workers vulnerable to jobsite distractions, fatigue, and—inevitably—accidents. To stay safe and on top of your game, you need to layer up with the right cold-weather gear.
165 years of undergarment innovation
Expertly combining the right yarns, knitting techniques, and antimicrobial treatments, Stanfield’s has been manufacturing high-quality apparel in Nova Scotia since 1856. Its underlayers wick moisture and provide the insulation you need, all while ensuring A+ comfort.
Perhaps more so than any other brand, Stanfield’s understands the harshness of Canadian winters. From the dawn of the Yukon gold rush to today’s worksite realities, Stanfield’s has maintained the quality and craftsmanship it’s prided itself on since day one.
Keeping the warmth in
When dressing for the cold-weather jobsite, know that not all layers serve the same purpose. It’s important to distinguish the following:
- Wicking layers: The garment closest to your skin, this layer avoids body cooling by removing moisture caused by sweating.
- Insulating layer: This layer traps the heat radiating from your body. It should be light and skin-tight.
To ensure the effectiveness of its thermal gear, Stanfield’s carefully considers the types of yarns it uses while also employing proper knitting techniques for the best of both worlds—gear up with apparel that minimizes moisture and maximizes warmth.
The yarns that make the difference
- Cotton-polyester blend: Cotton offers exceptional breathability, while polyester is naturally water-resistant and quick-drying. When blended and designed with the right thread count, the textile is lightweight and ready to take on whatever Mother Nature throws your way.
- Superwash wool and nylon: The benefit of this blend is that both yarns are highly effective in wicking moisture. And, given that superwash wool can be tossed into a regular laundry load, you get lots of mileage out of the garment.
- Merino wool: Performing double duties as an insulator and moisture eliminator, merino wool is a powerhouse at regulating body temperature. What’s more, its cloud-like softness and wonderful stretchability make it a comfort-forward companion for all your physical activities.
Antimicrobial performance
As a company that knows firsthand just how daunting Canadian winters can get, Stanfield’s takes every step necessary to guarantee your comfort. Beyond keeping you warm, dry, and agile, the manufacturer also goes the extra mile to ensure you feel fresh throughout the workday. To do so, several of its workwear pieces employ an antimicrobial treatment that curbs body odors and bacteria growth.
- Fight bad odors: Yes, odor discomfort is just as real as any other discomfort. It can affect our mood, ability to concentrate, and overall work performance. By eliminating odors, Stanfield’s keeps you at peak performance.
- Stop the spread of bacteria: Stanfield’s antimicrobial technology not only breaks down body odors but also stops the growth and spreading of bacteria and funguses that can lead to skin irritation.
- Prolong the life of your apparel: When you mitigate odors, you reduce laundry loads. Extend the lifespan of your clothes and reduce your ecological footprint.
