ABOUT US

How You Do Uniforms Is How You Do Everything

Our workwear is for the detail-obsessed hospitality folk who understand that fitting out their staff with high quality, design-led garments is as important as their fit-out.

Worktones is a design studio for hospitality workwear. Our ready-to-wear aprons, garments and accessories have been reworked again and again to become a staple range of styles and colours, worn by some of Australia's most beloved venues like Olympus in Sydney and Hector's Deli in Melbourne.

Our custom service allows brands to embellish our pieces or, for venues with different requirements, create uniforms and accessories from scratch. Now serving.

Our Story

Worktones was founded in 2015 by Huw Bennett. Having sold his streetwear brand, Vanishing Elephant, to Incu, Huw started taking on odd jobs for venues around Sydney such as Gelato Messina and Bills. The idea of creating a design studio for hospitality workwear became serious when Tasmania’s renowned Pumphouse Point commissioned him to make their uniforms. Over a decade later, still in Surry Hills but now a small but mighty team, Worktones is the name hospitality operators trust.

Only Natural, Baby

Our ready-to-wear range is made only using cotton and linen. Natural fabrics wear in and wear out over time - unlike, polyester, they aren't made to last forever.

What we speak to is the work we do at the design stage to make a garment last as long as it can, from the cotton weight to reinforced stress points.

Designed to last is an honest claim; lasts forever isn't. We think that's pretty natural.

Reducing plastics at all points of production, such as using paper glassine product bags, is important to us. Read more about our thoughts on synthetics here.
