Cintas Corporation
 Cintas Corporation has just introduced a new line of retail-inspired rentable cargo pants. Available in light khaki and navy blue, the loose-fit design offers comfort, style and functionality.
Reaction to the new trousers has been overwhelmingly positive, according to the Cincinnati-based manufacturer. “People in certain industries need to be able to carry a number of portable devices on the job but also realize the importance of looking good at work,” says Chuck Helmes, director of marketing and technology solutions at Cintas Corporation. “Our customers asked for a solution, and we responded with a pant design that combines style and functionality.”
The new Cintas Design offers a contemporary cut with a longer “seat seam” for comfort and is using a fabric with 11% stretch for softness and flexibility.
“Many of our competitors design cargo pants with industrial launderers in mind, not with consideration to comfort and functionality, which is extremely important to the people who have to wear them,” says Helmes.
Many other rentable cargo pants are designed with sewn-on pockets and button closures, which are potential safety hazards in certain industries. The Cintas Cargo Collection, however, offers sewn-in pockets with side seams and snap closures. This design has not only proven to be less hazardous, but it is also more durable for industrial laundering.
The Cintas Cargo Collection is ideal for employees in all business service industries, including HVAC, landscape, courier, transportation, beverage and repair companies.
“The quality and durability of our uniforms create a consistent, professional look for our customers’ employees,” says Helmes. “Not only that, this is a uniform that employees feel good in, look good in and truly enjoy wearing. It’s the trifecta of cargo apparel – comfort, style and functionality.”

National Safety Apparel
 What might very well be the next generation of protective clothing was introduced recently by National Safety Apparel, a leading manufacturer and innovator of safety apparel and accessories.
Last month, the company announced the launch of state-of-the-art technology called “FR Performance Wear”™. National Safety Apparel has included this cutting edge fabric in T-shirts, in the liner of its Arc Flash Hoods and balaclavas as well as other innovative items.
The technology behind FR Performance Wear™ is the anti-microbial fabric that consists of properties that help improve the protection and hygiene of safety apparel. The anti-microbial fabric prevents the buildup of odor-causing bacteria by killing 99.9% that comes in contact with the material. With the moisture wicking technology, any perspiration that is released from the skin is immediately transported to the outside of the fabric, allowing you to stay fresh, energized and odor-free in more situations over a greater range of activities. Finally, FR Performance Wear™ is fire resistant and provides an added layer of protection for the wearer.
FR Performance Wear™ is NSA’s response to the ever changing safety apparel industry as well as worker’s continued desire to have increased comfort on the job. “National Safety Apparel is dedicated to innovation and is always looking to create new custom solutions for the safety industry”, said Duane Siders, vice president, marketing & sales.
National Safety Apparel is registered to ISO 9001:2000, with design, guaranteeing that the company’s various electrical, heat protection, and cut-resistant clothing lines are fabricated to exact standards and production methods.

Tru-Spec
 On the heels of its successful 24/7 trousers product launch, Tru-Spec has introduced an ultra- comfortable new polo-style shirt that’s a perfect match for the multi-function trousers that so easily cross the line between duty and casual wear. Like the 24-7 pant, Tru-Spec describes the new 24/7 polo as, “…versatile enough for stakeout or desk duty; stylish enough for a night on the town.”
The new 24-7 polo actually combines two fabrics into a single garment to guarantee maximum wearability and comfort along with sharp, contemporary styling. The interior fabric is a unique micro knit polyester treated with Tru-Dri moisture wicking technology, which pulls moisture and perspiration away from the body and keeps the wearer cool and dry even in hot climates and pressure packed scenarios;
The exterior fabric is lightweight, tightly knit 100% cotton single pique to ensure the same neat, wrinkle-free appearance and the same color-fast qualities you would expect in a top-of-the-line commercial shirt.
First and foremost a working shirt for police officers, the new polo contains several important features including a strategically placed microphone/sunglass loop immediately below the placket and a dual pen/pencil slot pocket on the left sleeve, positioned for easy access.
The Tru-Spec polo is available in a broad size range and in five popular colors which have been selected as suitable matches for most departmental color schemes, including white, black, navy, range red and silver tan. The company’s products are available through authorized Tru-Spec dealers.
