What makes us different and other questions
We have started
We launched on International Women's Day 2024 #CountHerIn. We would love to hear from you, if you'd like to place an order. We don't mind if you'd like to order 1 shirt or 1000. Just drop us a line to start the moving things forward.
Our first shirts will be a business to business order, but we can order extra. Drop up a line if you'd like one.
What makes our clothing different
We create fashionable Safety clothing differently.
Sustainability is core to everything that we do. Manufacturing is local. Our fabric suppliers source sustainably. Our packaging is provided by Hero Packaging and is fully dissolvable in water. Our courier is carbon neutral. Our swing tags are printed on recycled card. Our manufacturer is an accredited Ethical manufacturer.
As a social enterprise 50% of our profits provide support for women in construction at all stages of their careers. As a start up, it will take us some time to generate a profit, and once we do we are so excited to support our women in engineering and construction, and our allies through grants for training and memberships.
Our shirts have fashionable matching collar, sleeve and lower torso sections. We want you to look good and feel great every time you put on our shirts. They will change each season to match current fashions.
We've got so many awesome ideas that we are excited to bring to the market over time.
What if I want to return my clothing?
Buying from an online store can be daunting.
We will bring an online virtual fitting room on to our store in time. Hopefully this will mean that you don't need to return anything.
Our packaging can be reused to send products in original condition back to us for a refund or exchange. We comply with Australian consumer law.
How do your shirts benefit future generations?
We help you to reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on the quantity of clothes that you will need to buy and the distance that those clothes will need to travel to get to you, for the benefit of future generations. We've described our sustainability initiatives above.
We are a social enterprise and are seeking accreditation with Social Traders.
50% of our profits support women in construction at all levels of their career. This will be provided by providing grants for a 12 month membership to Professional Australia or NAWIC (the National Association of Women in Construction) in their local chapter. We will provide funding for coaching and training. This will improve the skills and support for women in our industry and help them to find a village of likeminded professionals.
How much will your shirts cost?
Our shirts will be priced to match the market for an Australian made products to bring the best Australian workwear shirts and women's trousers to market. This will help to support Australian jobs to support the Australian market.
Corporate business to business sales are available. We will ensure that our products are available to companies and organisations with a demonstrated commitment to supporting women and diversity. Please contact our sales department for more information. iwanttobuyyourshirts.fgf@gmail.com
How did you come up with the idea?
One day a group of friends, working for a construction company, were walking to lunch in a pretty upmarket part of town. One fellow was out of place wearing a Hawiian shirt. Somehow, he stopped traffic with nothing more than a smile and his loud shirt and left the drivers waving and smiling. He really stood out and made people feel happy. We laughed and went and had a really nice lunch.
It got a group of us thinking that there had to be a way to bring a safety shirt that made people feel happy like we were on that day. The more that we shared our idea, the more that people got excited about it and the ideas kept on growing.
So please enjoy your shirt with your friends and think of us.
