Choosing Change Threads isn’t just about changing your uniform it’s about changing the system. Here’s why more schools, families, and organisations are making the switch.
1. Know Where Your Uniform Comes From
Most uniform suppliers can’t tell you who made their garments let alone who grew the cotton. Supply chains are often murky, outsourced, and packed with middlemen. But at Change Threads, we know every step. We’ve stood in the fields with cotton farmers. We’ve sat at sewing machines beside the women who stitch our garments. We’ve visited spinning units, weaving floors, dye houses, and Fair Trade factories across India.
When you buy from Change Threads, you’re not buying from a faceless supply chain. You’re choosing a transparent, ethical, and fully traceable journey, one that puts people and the planet first.
2. Quality You Can Feel
Today’s uniforms are often made with cheap polyester that feels stiff, traps heat, and sheds microplastics with every wash. At Change Threads, we use natural, breathable, and durable fibres like organic cotton, cotton/recycled poly blends, and recycled wool. Our fabrics go through rigorous quality testing, including washability, stretch, fade resistance, and durability standards, and we finish every piece with superior stitching techniques for longer life and stronger seams.
The result? Uniforms that not only last but feel better on the skin, especially for young people who wear them every day.
3. Easy to Order. Easy to Wear.
Switching to an ethical uniform provider shouldn’t be complicated, so we’ve designed our process to be as simple as it is sustainable. Whether you’re a parent, a principal, or a procurement officer, you can choose what works best for your community:
- Use our QR-coded size samples for quick, accurate fitting
- Order directly through your school’s or workplace custom online portal
- Visit one of our pop-up shops on campus, scheduled at your convenience
It’s never been easier to buy better uniforms and know exactly where they came from.

4. Designed for You With Care
Uniforms should reflect your identity and fit your needs. That’s why we offer personalised uniform design, whether you're replicating an existing style or starting from scratch. Our in-house professional pattern maker and designer will work with you to develop a functional, stylish, and well-fitting range before we move into production.
We care about the details, the stitching, the cut, the feel, because we know the difference thoughtful design can make. You’ll be supported through every step with a collaborative, creative approach.
5. Designed for the Makers and the Wearers
We don’t just care about who makes your clothes, we care deeply about who wears them, too. Accessibility and comfort are essential to ethical design. That’s why we’re committed to neurodiverse-friendly uniforms that consider sensitivity, texture, and fit.
As a mother to an autistic daughter, I’ve seen first-hand the difference our fabrics make. One of our first samples, a piece she would never normally wear, became her new favourite. “It feels soft,” she said. That’s because we use high-cotton-content fabrics that allow the skin to breathe and reduce irritation.
We’re here to work with you on inclusive design solutions for every student, staff member, or team member, because justice, comfort, and dignity go hand in hand.
6. From Questions to Confidence: Make the Change with Support
We’ll walk with your school, workplace, or community group as you move to an ethical uniform. We love telling the stories of our makers and can provide resources that help your community take a deep dive into where clothing comes from and “who made their clothes.” Our team brings 15 years’ experience speaking, teaching, and running workshops on Fair Trade, anti-slavery and anti-trafficking advocacy, poverty reduction, and environmental care in business. We can present to staff and students, brief your board, and create tailored fact sheets and educational materials that explain why this change matters. Most of all, we’ll share hopeful, inspiring maker stories, answering questions, building confidence, and helping your community make the switch smoothly, transparently, and with impact.
