If you work for state / federal govt, where do you guys get your work wear from?

I am trying to stream line our work wear. In the past there was a gentleman who took orders, and then placed order and then had to chase down people for their orders etc etc. It was a royal pain in the butt.

I want to streamline is with an online ordering system, limit it to certain styles. They will be embroidered with our logo's, possible our names on certain items.

Ideally a small business, ideally a CA based business, since I work for the state of CA. What i'd like is individual people can order what they want, when they want. That way, clothing can be got at different times, and hopefully charges will be good.

I like http://www.queensboro.com/ but I need to check and see how they will work it if we want to create a site / login for our staff to go buy. Heck it might even become larger than just our dept, it we got 4 other divisions with over 3-4K more employees.

This would work if you get clothes for your private company too.

I work for the State of California. Which department do you work in that allows them to pick up this cost?

I work in a school. I get my clothes at Target or Walmart, mostly. Kohl's if I get the coupons in the mail.

Oldsmoboat- I'm with DTSC. We aren't asking the state to buy but rather staff can buy themselves. There is no reimbursement on this.

I used to work for the Feds back in the day. My work attire came from the same place it does today. Banana Republic and similar stores.

My father worker there years ago. Down in LA and Sac.

We are supposed to wear polo's with our name and division on them. But they won't buy then any more.

When I worked for the government, we got free uniforms. I bought my shoes from Costco.
