Tailor & Stitch BV

What Tailor & Stitch BV does

Tailor & Stitch BV is a Dutch corporate workwear manufacturer headquartered in Sneek, Netherlands, that designs, develops, and produces private-label and custom uniforms for B2B clients. Originally founded in 1996 as Company Colors and acquired by Tailor & Stitch in October 2009, the company has grown into a vertically integrated mid-sized producer serving enterprises across transport and logistics (Wagenborg, AB Texel, Qbuzz, SVZ), construction and installation (Hoppenbrouwers, Dutch Steigers, De Romein), infrastructure and energy (Hanab, Wavin), telecom (KPN), marine (Feadship), healthcare, and retail. Its wholly owned Indian production facility, "The Tailors" in New Delhi, employs approximately 50 people dedicated exclusively to Tailor & Stitch output, complemented by a Dutch team of around nine covering sales, merchandising, design, buying, quality control, and production management. The product portfolio is organized into knitwear (T-shirts, polos, zip vests, sweaters), outerwear (softshells, pilot jackets, parkas, bodywarmers), workers and overalls, and accessories — all fully customizable in color, striping, branding, and materials.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on a proprietary ERP system managing project data, production status, and stakeholder transparency (including suppliers and dealers), an online configurator at customizedworkwear.com enabling Thirtyfour-brand customers to self-design workwear from 10 pieces minimum, in-house printing and seam-sealing at the India facility, and a Digital Product Passport system launched in 2025 that places QR codes on garments for full lifecycle traceability. The technology stack is operational and configurator-driven rather than AI-driven, with no disclosed machine learning capabilities. The revenue model rests on two streams: (1) custom private-label workwear produced for enterprises at minimum orders of approximately 100 pieces on multi-year contracts with roughly 8-week lead times, and (2) the Thirtyfour own-brand sold through selected dealers (workwear wholesalers and laundries) in the Netherlands and Belgium plus an online configurator, targeting small and medium businesses at 10-piece minimums. Go-to-market is hybrid — direct enterprise sales managed by dedicated sales managers through showroom and on-location consultation, complemented by an indirect dealer channel for Thirtyfour, an online self-service storefront, and a dealer portal (TexTracker) launched in 2024 for order tracking and certificate access.

Tailor & Stitch positions itself as a sustainability leader in Dutch corporate workwear, holding EcoVadis Gold (top 5% globally, 90/100 in 2025), Fair Wear Foundation Leader status (85/100, since 2024 after membership from 2013), ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications (2023), OEKO-Tex Standard 100 across fabrics, and GRS certification on rPET products; 75% of 2025 collections are made from sustainable materials. The firm is privately held with no external funding rounds or parent company identified, and operates primarily in the Netherlands with selected Belgian dealer distribution.

Product overview
