It\u2019s been a year since we launched the Field Grey Sustainability Manifesto \u2013 a commitment to rethinking how uniforms are designed, made and worn. It wasn\u2019t about flaunting our eco credentials, it was about setting real, actionable goals to reduce waste, make garments last longer and embed sustainability into every stage of our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing Salvage<\/a> magazine\u2019s shocking images of dumped textiles \u2013 mountains of discarded clothing \u2013 was a wake-up call. It forced us to rethink our industry\u2019s impact. At the same time, we realised we were already doing a lot of things right. We design brand apparel that\u2019s built to last. In a world of over-consumption, that\u2019s no small thing. But we knew we could do more. And so the Sustainability Manifesto<\/a> was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve months in, we\u2019re taking stock of the progress we\u2019ve made and the challenges ahead. Sustainability isn\u2019t a badge of honour, it\u2019s an ongoing process of learning, refining and doing better. The good news is we\u2019ve taken some forward strides \u2013 pioneering circular fashion initiatives, cutting waste and sourcing more ethically. Here\u2019s how we\u2019re upholding our commitment and pushing for real change.

<\/p>\n\n\n

Making uniforms circular <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One inspiration behind the manifesto was the principle of more use per user \u2013 outlined in The Circular Economy<\/em> by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation<\/a>. A truly sustainable product is one that\u2019s worn for longer. This means creating uniforms that can withstand years of use and that people actually want to wear. Then there\u2019s more uses per product, making sure items aren\u2019t ditched after one wearer. The explosion of resale platforms in recent years shows second-hand fashion is now mainstream. We took it a step further with our circular fashion initiative for Wagamama<\/a>, in partnership with eco-brand Pangaia. Instead of tossing old uniforms, we reworked them into something new \u2013 proving that workwear can be circular, not disposable. It paves the way for a circular workwear philosophy and is one of the projects we\u2019re most proud of.

<\/p>\n\n\n

Mindful design: beyond sustainable materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People love to talk about \u201csustainable fabrics\u201d like organic cotton or recycled polyester, but sustainability isn\u2019t just about materials. It\u2019s about what happens when those garments reach the end of their life. If they\u2019re stitched with polyester thread, for example, it can be difficult to take them apart in order to make them fully circular. That\u2019s why Mindful Design is the first point in our manifesto. Circularity goes beyond what a garment\u2019s made from \u2013 it\u2019s about how it\u2019s built, repaired and eventually repurposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve started embedding these conversations in our client proposals. When designing uniforms, we ask: What happens at the end of its life? Can it be refurbished? Can it be reissued to new staff? By shifting focus from just materials to the entire product lifecycle, we\u2019re helping brands move from greenwashing to real action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key part of this is extended use. The fashion industry has perfected the art of planned obsolescence \u2013 designing garments that last just long enough to require replacement. We take the opposite approach, reinforcing stress points like pockets and crotch seams to extend a garment\u2019s life. We use chain stitching in key areas for added strength \u2013 so much so that when we moved chino production to a factory without chain-stitch machinery, we worked closely with them to find an equally durable alternative. These small technical details make a big impact.

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Cutting surplus, not corners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fast fashion has normalised the idea that returns, deadstock and unsold items are just part of doing business. Some brands even make returns deliberately expensive, discouraging customers from sending items back. This leads to perfectly good clothing ending up in landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, cutting waste starts with better production planning. Over the past year we’ve been working with a specialist grader, who makes sure our sustainable design intentions are backed up by our production process. Using precise digital lay plans means factories can cut fabric with little waste, so we produce only what we need. This makes good business sense too \u2013 using less fabric means we get more bang for our buck. But more importantly, it means we\u2019re consuming fewer raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producing in small batches has always been part of our model, but it\u2019s getting harder. Factories that once allowed us to order 50 units now require a minimum of 100. Brexit has made working with European manufacturers more expensive and inflation has squeezed margins. But despite the challenges, we keep production runs small \u2013 compared with industry norms, our waste is minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When surplus does arise, we find ways to rehome materials before resorting to the rubbish dump. We regularly donate excess fabric to universities, giving students access to high-quality textiles for their projects. It\u2019s a simple step, but one that shifts the mindset from waste to reuse.

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ethical sourcing through direct relationships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clients are asking more questions about ethical sourcing, which is a positive shift. But sustainability audits can be misleading \u2013 some are brilliant, while others are little more than tick-box exercises. A certificate doesn\u2019t guarantee ethical practices. That\u2019s why we believe in building direct relationships with our suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we visited a key factory in Tunisia, with a trip to Portugal planned next. Being on the ground makes all the difference. It encourages accountability and means quality and ethical standards are genuinely upheld \u2013 not just written on paper.

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Smarter uniform management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is about making better, but also using smarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest shifts this year is getting our clients to move towards a fully managed uniform service. This means when uniforms are needed for seasonal staff, for instance, they can be brought back in, dry-cleaned, stored centrally and then put back into stock. This means making fewer uniforms, keeping them in circulation longer and stopping them from vanishing into the lost uniform black hole \u2013 an all-too-common problem in large hotels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadstock fabrics are another exciting area. During our visit to industry event Premi\u00e8re Vision<\/a> last year, we were impressed by the surge in deadstock options suitable for workwear, not just high fashion. We\u2019re in the process of securing a strong deadstock supplier and are looking to incorporate their high quality fabrics into upcoming projects. Using what already exists is one of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce waste.

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Real actions, not empty promises<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One thing we\u2019ve learned over the past year is that sustainability isn\u2019t a checklist \u2013 it\u2019s a constant process of improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big brands can measure their carbon footprint down to the decimal point, but sometimes you have to ask: Are they only measuring what they can account for? There\u2019s a huge grey area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us, sustainability is about answerable actions \u2013 the tangible steps we can take within our scale and resources. That means formalising sustainability checks into our early conversations with clients. It means continuously evolving our approach to sourcing, production and waste reduction. And it means being honest about where we are, where we want to go and what\u2019s actually possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year in, we\u2019re proud of the progress we\u2019ve made. But we know sustainability isn\u2019t a destination \u2013 it\u2019s a journey. And we\u2019re on the right track.
