The extensive range now includes work pants, shorts, shirts, jumpers, jackets, coveralls and polos, available for both men and women. KingGee quickly became known for its high quality and expert craftsmanship.

KingGee has always been at the forefront of garment making technologies. Their Red Label Drill, made in the 1960’s, quickly set the standard for Drill materials in Australia. Later, they were one of the first companies to use computer pattern cutting.
KingGee continued to evolve and created the ‘For A Nation At Work’ campaign in the 90’s, which saw the ‘Permanent Press’ range expand with their ever-growing catalogue. Today this range is better known as ‘Smart Casuals’.
In 1970, the iconic ‘If They Were Any Tougher, They’d Rust’ slogan became synonymous with KingGee. Their premium products are engineered to ensure comfort, durability and functionality enabling you to work and play at your best in all conditions.
