Man, that would be embarrassing!

Cintas does our uniforms. I got mine last week and tried it on for a test fit. I got all the sizes that I ordered, but they all fit terribly. The pants were incredibly long but almost fit in the waist. I couldn't even get the belt ends to touch. The shirt was alright but awfully tight in the shoulders. The jacket was also ok in the sleeves, but it is so short that it looks like I'm scratching my armpits when I put my hands in the pockets because it's so short. Everything got re-ordered.

Is there anywhere that I can actually order stuff myself? I don't care about paying for it...I just want some extras and stuff that might fit. I'm going to have 2 long sleeve shirts now and would really like a short sleeve since I know I'll get hot.

I hope some big wig from Atlanta reads this thread. I always thought that UPS holds their drivers appearence(SP) to highest standard than the competition. How professional can you look with a uniform that doesnt fit or is no longer serviceable.

Thus the expression "get the lead out".

It's probably an experiment to see if we will buy our own uniforms. As some have stated, they are willing to pay themselves for alterations and uniforms that fit. Not me. I'll wear whatever junk they provide. If they want me to look like the typical DHL driver....then that's what I'll do.

It's all about cost. Unfortunately like everything else, they seem to be spending a dollar to save a dime. I bet I had my first set of uniforms for 10 years. Now your lucky if they last 1 year. I will admit that the first sets were getting thread-bare in places. But boy were they comfortable.

The new "clipper" ones are awful. My cintas have always been OK and have lasted well; but the clipper already busted seams along the leg/waist and other places after two or three wears. I mean, two or three wears (and we're not talking normal delivery wear, customer counter/shuttle!) and I'm already sewing them? Garbage.

Busting out at the waist.
Try laying off the donuts.

At 5'9 148 pounds and lost 13 pounds, I don't think weight loss is the issue, it's the uniform. thank you for the advice FreddyM.

Is there a way to get the old cintas?
