The Warm, Durable Workwear Jumper That Keeps Your Team Looking Professional All Day

Q: What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery , we can operate with any file. For Printing , we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF . Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

Q: What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo . Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

Q: What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets. Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

Q: How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements , which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles. This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Q: Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit . Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

Q: How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months . Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

Every Business Owner and Practice Manager knows the problem: your team needs a comfortable, professional-looking layer for cooler mornings, air-conditioned offices, and transitional-season workwear — but most knitwear options either look too casual, lose their shape after a few washes, or don't come in sizes that work for a diverse workforce.

Generic jumpers pill, shrink, and look inconsistent across a team within a single season.

At Uniforms.com.au, we've been equipping Australian frontlines since 1999 — from corporate offices and retail teams to hospitality venues, education providers, and healthcare facilities.

The Airlayed CVC Sweater is our answer: a crew neck workwear jumper built from a soft CVC knit with airlayed construction, available in six colours and sizes XS through to 7XL — engineered to look sharp, feel comfortable, and hold up through repeated commercial laundering.

We don't outsource quality. We own the machines. Our in-house embroidery means your logo is applied with precision — every unit, every time.

Why Australian Teams Choose the Airlayed CVC Sweater

Airlayed Construction → Soft, Lofty Interior Warmth → Comfortable in Air-Conditioned Offices and Cool Mornings
The airlayed fabric process creates a brushed interior texture that traps warmth without the bulk of a jacket — the ideal mid-layer for corporate, retail, and hospitality teams who need comfort throughout a full working day.

CVC Knit Blend → Cotton Softness With Polyester Durability → Holds Shape and Appearance Through Repeated Washing
Chief Value Cotton construction delivers the breathable, soft feel of cotton with the structural integrity of polyester — wrinkle-resistant and shape-retaining through high-rotation uniform use.

Classic Crew Neck Silhouette → Clean, Professional Appearance → Versatile Across Uniform Programs
The unfussy crew neck and relaxed fit layers easily over shirts, blouses, and corporate wear — making it a practical, polished addition to any team uniform without looking out of place in any professional environment.

Six Colour Options → Matches Existing Brand Palettes → No Compromise on Brand Consistency
Available in Black, Navy, Gray, Army Green, Natural, and Slate Blue — one of the widest colour ranges in Australian workwear knitwear, giving your brand team genuine flexibility to match existing uniform colours.

Bulk Pricing Structure → Lower Cost Per Unit → Better ROI on Your Uniform Budget
The more you buy, the greater the discount. Ordering for a team means your per-unit cost drops significantly — making this a smart, scalable investment for any uniform program.

What Is Airlayed Construction?

Airlayed refers to a fabric construction process that creates a soft, lofty texture with a slightly brushed or fleece-like interior feel.

This provides additional warmth and comfort compared to standard jersey knit construction — without the bulk of a heavier fleece or jacket.

For teams working in air-conditioned environments, cooler climates, or during transitional seasons, airlayed knitwear is the practical mid-layer choice that keeps staff comfortable without compromising their professional appearance.

What Is CVC Fabric?

CVC stands for Chief Value Cotton — a blended fabric where cotton makes up the majority of the composition, with polyester making up the remainder.

The result is a fabric that feels soft and breathable like cotton, while benefiting from the durability, shape retention, and reduced shrinkage of polyester.

This makes CVC knitwear the practical choice for workwear uniform programs where consistent appearance through repeated washing is non-negotiable.

Professional Buyer's Guide

Durability: The CVC knit construction is built for repeated commercial laundering. The airlayed fabric maintains its loft, softness, and shape through high-rotation uniform use — a non-negotiable for any serious team uniform program.

Branding: The knit construction is optimised for in-house embroidery. Our team applies logos, staff names, and department identifiers to the chest and sleeve panels with precision — backed by 25+ years of experience branding Australian workwear.

Sizing for Teams: Available from XS through to 7XL across all six colours, the Airlayed CVC Sweater is one of the most size-inclusive workwear knitwear options available in Australia. Our team can assist with bulk size breakdowns to ensure every team member is fitted correctly.

Real-World Use Case

Picture a Melbourne-based aged care provider with 60 staff across reception, administration, and care roles — all expected to present a warm, approachable, and professional image to residents and families every day.

Their previous knitwear had been sourced from a retail chain: inconsistent sizing, colours that faded after a few washes, and no option for logo embroidery.

They ordered the Airlayed CVC Sweater through Uniforms.com.au in Navy, with the facility's logo embroidered on the left chest and each staff member's name on the sleeve.

Our in-house embroidery team turned the order around efficiently — every sweater branded consistently, with zero variation across the run.

The result: a team that looks cohesive, warm, and professional from the moment a resident or family member walks through the door — and a Practice Manager who no longer replaces knitwear every season.

That's the Uniforms.com.au difference — and it's what 25+ years of equipping Australian teams looks like in practice.

What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery, we can operate with any file.

For Printing, we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF.

Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo.

Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets.

Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements, which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles.

This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit.

Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months.

Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

What is the best fabric for daily wear and workplace durability?

The best fabrics for everyday workwear are breathable, durable fabric blends, such as cotton-polyester combinations.

These blends offer comfort, strength, colour retention, and reduced shrinkage, making them ideal for long shifts, frequent washing, and physically demanding workplaces.

How many uniforms should each staff member have?

We recommend 3–5 uniform sets per staff member.

This allows for daily wear, washing cycles, and unexpected spills or damage while maintaining a professional appearance at all times. Having multiple sets also extends the lifespan of each garment and reduces last-minute uniform stress for your team.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes — bulk discounts are available.

Larger orders reduce unit costs, making bulk purchasing the most economical option for growing teams.

How long does it take for my order to be delivered?

Typical timelines are:

3–5 working days for standard printing
10–15 working days for custom embroidery or larger orders

Delivery times may vary based on stock availability and order complexity.

Absolutely! We have serviced some of Australia's most well known brands throughout this great country. Reach out to us and let us show you how we can streamline your uniform ordering process.
