As a staple of Aussie culture, workwear encompasses everything from steel cap safety boots to hi-visibility clothing. Whether you need it for work or just a pair of pants to do some housework, Australia’s economy relies heavily on workwear, and BAD is one of the few Australian-owned and operated companies.
BAD, the Melbourne-based workwear company founded in 1995, produces tradie workwear that is anything but bad. In fact, it is known to be the very best! With its reputation as one of the few Australian-owned suppliers of durable, tough clothing, BAD Workwear is proud to be 100% Australian-made.
Their product range includes everything you could possibly need. High-visibility clothing, pants, shorts, boots, accessories, and waterproof clothing – you name it, and you’ve got it.
How does BAD distinguish itself from other brands manufactured in Australia?
Fit and feel of the workwear and footwear
Is the material itchy? Do you find it irritating? Is it flexible? Is the material likely to snag and tear? These things might not be immediately apparent, but you will definitely notice them once you are on-site!
As a result, all BAD men’s workwear is slim or modern-fitting. For Women’s workwear, all measurements, including waist and hip measurements, have been customised to ensure a beautiful fit. In addition, BAD uses comfortable and durable fabrics that will keep you warm and productive during your workday.
The fabric used by BAD is ORGANIC AUSTRALIAN SOFT-TOUCH™ cotton, which is lightweight, breathable, and eco-friendly. Workwear with 360 DEGREE STRETCH FREEMOVE™ FABRIC keeps you comfortable and durable while letting you adjust the drawstring for the perfect fit. Moreover, BAD is antibacterial and quick-drying to eliminate unpleasant odours.
With high breathability levels, the fabrics allow heat to be easily transported through the material, making this tradie workwear more comfortable.
BAD places a high priority on safety
A breathable lining for boots and breathable fabrics used in layers of tradie workwear have made protective clothing and workwear significantly more comfortable, which leads to a more comfortable work environment.
It is crucial to provide the right protection on the job, which is why BAD offers all kinds of accessories such as hard hats, rails and night workwear, steel-toe boots, high visibility workwear, etc. With UPF 50+, all BAD workwear provides excellent UV protection. UPF 50+ ratings offer 98%+ sun protection, offering the best sun protection.
BAD WORKWEAR is easy to clean
Just another reason that makes BAD a truly Australian brand. No one knows the pain of cleaning dirty workwear better than a hardworking Aussie.
Workwear made of BAD materials is easy to wash and lasts longer even after repeated washings. To maintain a professional appearance, it is important that the colours remain intact and do not fade. It is for this reason that BAD offers a 3M Scotchgard™ finish that resists water and stains, as well as a mesh lining to prevent internal stains.
Additionally, BAD has incorporated reinforced nylon panelling into its men’s and women’s workwear to prevent shrinkage.
Pockets galore
As a tradesman, it’s essential to have the right tools on hand. In this context, pockets are often underestimated.
For easy access to all your tools, BAD has designed workwear with pockets that can hold the tools without impeding your movement. Some examples include:
BAD WATERPROOF HI-VIS SOFTSHELL JACKET, for instance, includes:
- Pockets with waterproof zippers on the chest and waist.
- Inner pocket for mobile phone with touch-tape closure.
Or the BAD ATTITUDE™ SLIM FIT WHITE NIGHT WORK PANTS that are reinforced with 4-5 pockets in total:
- Ruler/tool pocket.
- Smart Phone Pouch with Popper Closure
- Easy to access smartphone pocket
- 2 x Pen pockets
