Making the unthinkable comfortable: BAD Workwear’s mission to create quality workwear that tradies deserve

By: Get News
Construction workers, oil, gas, and other utility workers need protective clothing to avoid lengthy workdays, impacting productivity and compliance. This is where BAD Workwear come into frame. BAD Workwear designs & manufactures safety workwear with fabrics that are not only safe but also stylish, practical, and comfortable at work, quality workwear that hardworking tradies deserve.

In the workplace, health & safety standards are not a new concept. They have been used in workplace best practices, highlighted in safety literature, and above all, are legally required. In 1995, Cameron Soleimani saw a huge opportunity for workwear and understood what was lacking on the market. This marked the beginning of BAD Workwear. 

With just enough funding to launch his venture, Cameron started by making the first BAD garments himself in the comfort of his garage. Although workwear safety was foremost in his mind, it wasn’t the only concern. With BAD workwear, he wanted to offer quality, safety, functionality, and fashion without sacrificing fit and style. Also, Cameron recognised a niche in the market for women’s workwear, which wasn’t being filled. Cameron’s vision was to create workwear to accommodate all the hard-working tradies.

It’s amazing how much success BAD Workwear has had since those humble beginnings in the garage. This 100% Australian-owned brand is now a household name in the trade industry.

Cameron’s primary goal was to fill a void in the market and provide tradies with apparel that’s never been seen before. 

All hands were on deck from BAD’s design, development, and manufacturing departments as protective workwear had to withstand any work conditions. Contrary to this, the durability couldn’t compromise comfort while being lightweight. Cameron’s greatest challenge was to design and manufacture workwear that satisfied all of these factors. 

With a great understanding of how tradespeople think and what they want from their workwear, Cameron was able to create one of the best workwear brands on the market. It didn’t take long for his brand to be recognised and adopted. BAD Workwear experienced an overwhelming demand for their product, and this is when Cameron saw his vision truly come to life.

Female workers have grown in the trade sector in recent years, all sizes of safety equipment and workwear are essential. Because of this, BAD Workwear offers styles for everyone. BAD’s tailor-made women’s workwear has been a standout in the construction industry, where women have traditionally felt excluded. All waist, hip, bust, and length measurements have been customised to ensure that the workwear fits correctly.

In 2019, BAD expanded to the North American market to better serve its rapidly growing client base in the U.S. and Canada. By offering personalised solutions, leading expertise, and sustainability, BAD started to deliver direct-to-consumer solutions and eventually transformed into retail distribution.
