Galaxy Workwear Collection The popular collection Galaxy is now available in more colours. Galaxy is a smart and functional collection developed for all kinds of demanding industrial work, but which is also suitable for the tradesman thanks to its functional details. “The collection has proved so popular that it is now being expanded with three new colour combinations”, highlights the company. With Galaxy the user gets: -Fabrics made of two-ply cotton/polyester yarns. In addition to improved durability, this also results in particularly good ergonomics and freedom of movement. -Several closed and extra spacious pockets for e.g. a mobile phone or little working tools. -Outstanding range of functional details such as concealed buttons and zippers which prevent the materials processed from getting scratched. -A slimmer cut and modern design. -A range that will withstand industrial laundering.
