Off-the-peg
Quick turnaround - ready to go
Under the Lyn Oakes label, we offer a stock-supported range of off-the-peg traditional Funeral Director's uniforms and morning suits. These patterns are unique to Lyn Oakes.
In addition, we supply a vast range of stock supported corporate suits from our trusted supplier partners, perfect for office outfits & hotel uniforms. These designs tend to be size inclusive and made from part recycled cloths.
Custom
Adding personality - customise up
Some clients opt for a part-bespoke uniform, perfect for adding a touch of personality to an off-the-peg look. For this, we can add to our stock supported lines, perhaps incorporating a brand colour with velvet accents, adding embroidery or switching the buttons to elevate the look.
This can be used in a mix-and-match basis, pairing off-the-peg and bespoke garments together. This concept has worked well for hotel clients who might combine stand-out bespoke waistcoat with a classic washable trouser.
