in running clothes; it looks like a regular uniform, but still offers the comfort. We also use what's called StayDark technology. It uses a dye formula that keeps the color consistent over the life of the garment. We test the garments through up to 100 industrial washes, which are very harsh conditions. It's basically like boiling your clothes for five years. If it's going to hold up through that, it's going to be great for the work environment. For the restaurant industry, aprons may not always have pockets; workwear with storage for pens and order wallets is a new development. Impressions: What changes do you see on the horizon for the workwear industry? SK: I think it is a challenge for people to think about how to adapt product as the job changes and as technology changes. Think about cell phones and smart phones and how quickly things changed. This is just "pie in the sky," but maybe in the future, hand-held scanners in manufacturing facilities will be built into the cuff s of shirts. Maybe fabrics in clothing will be able to tell the temperature, making sure employees don't get overheated. Or maybe fabrics will have a cooling system built right in. I think that you'll see more and more things built into wearables in the future.
