HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE

To choose the correct size of garments it is recommended to follow the indications of the following charts, where the body measures per size at points A B C D and E are indicated. The body measures should be taken wearing light garments, in order to guarantee a certain degree of tolerance.

WOMAN SIZES

COFRA garments are rugged and durable as well as comfortable. 10 sizes for jackets and 10 for trousers allow you to find the perfect size. Our sizes comply with the European standards and fit any chest, waist and inside leg sizes. Selecting the right size of trousers is essential in order to position the knee-pad pocket into the right place and to benefit from the ergonomic cut which ensures ease of movement.

MAN SIZES

COFRA garments are rugged and durable as well as A comfortable. 11 sizes for jackets and 19 for trousers allow you to find the perfect size. Our sizes comply with the European standards and fit any chest, waist and inside leg sizes. Selecting the right size of trousers is essential in order to position the knee-pad pocket into the right place and to benefit from the ergonomic cut which ensures ease of movement.

PERSONALISED WORKWEAR

Using workwear means wearing a uniform with the distinctive signs of the worker’s company. For this reason, COFRA can personalise the garments with the logos of its customers. The available technologies are serigraphy, transfer and embroidery, according to the user’s preference.

Our technical staff is at your complete disposal to define the best solution of personalisation.

REFLEX INSERTS

From now on it is possible to personalise your garments: it will be possible to add reflex inserts on trousers, coats, t-shirts and jackets, wherever you want, as many as you need, according to the features of the selected garment.

WINTER

Hot stamping (transfer or serigraphy) is the best choice since the water resistance of waterproof garments does not change; embroidery is not recommended since taping of the inner part would be necessary.

HIGH VISIBILITY

For high-visibility garments it is important that the value of the surface of fluorescent material does not change (the class indicated on each garment should not be lower than the range defined by the EN 471). Therefore, the company logo should have the best size both for the garment and the user’s needs.

EVERYTIME

The best choice to personalise polar fleece is embroidery, since hot stamping fabric would not resist to high temperatures. For t-shirts, the logo personalisation with hot stamping (transfer or serigraphy) is excellent in terms of quality and colour.

QUALITY OF MATERIALS

Thanks to its research team and to the collaboration with important brands, COFRA makes sure that all materials are selected and developed with constant attention to the real needs of the users, to quality and cutting-edge technologies. This guarantees the widest range of high-quality materials and an excellent protection for the user in any type of work.
