For example, Miner suggested large pockets, pleated elbows and full-length leg zippers on bib overalls as little extras that can go a long way for end-users, considering that many work outdoors, in dangerous conditions or simply in areas where there are little to no office comforts nearby. Safety and convenience understandably factor high. "Our designers are constantly working to identify ways to make items more durable, comfortable and functional," Tsai emphasized, adding that the company's corporate-casual line will inspire future workwear innovations. In particular, two- and three-layer bonded jackets, which are warm yet lightweight, will see some action. "I think you'll start to see us experiment with that construction more on the workwear side going forward," he said.
