Options for industrial wash garmentsMost of the trims shown in this section are not Industrial Laundry (IL) friendly, however a few items can be successfully used to customize IL garments. In the adjacent trim guide, there are 8 colors of 1/2" bias trim that have been made from our work shirt poplin, as in SP14 / 24. These trims have the same laundry durability as the shirts, and can be used on most of the Red Kap® shirts. View any of the images on these pages for placement ideas.Knit trim is another option for industrial garments and is primarily used on culinary and service apparel items. Available in primary colors, it can easily upgrade the look of your chef coat when applied to the collar or cuffs. The non-metallic middy braids will stand up to light soil processing. With these trims, it is always best to do your own testing in the actual wash environment to be sure you are pleased with the results.
