CASE STUDY
Uniformly
Appealing
A HOSPITAL NEEDED TO ADD
sweaters to its uniform choices
and worked with its distributor
to connect with supplier
Edwards Garment (UPIC:
EDWARDSG). The hospital
selected an open cardigan for
the ladies and a V-neck
pullover for the men. The dis-
tributor worked with Edwards
on the logistics of the program
so that the sweaters were
delivered without the distribu-
tor having to do the fulfill-
ment. The hospital was thrilled
with the sweater as an addition
to its uniform program and the
distributor felt that Edwards
Garment exceeded its expecta-
tions by handling the distribu-
tion details.
This fine-gauge Port Authority ladies’
V-neck sweater is made of 60-percent cot-
ton/40-percent nylon. Features include a rib-knit
trim on the neck and hem, and a stylish, longer
rib-knit height at the cuffs. Colors include black,
charcoal heather, deep berry, Moroccan blue
and navy. It comes in sizes XS-4XL. Stahls’

The soft, unisex COSMIC Poly Fleece 1/4
Zip is constructed of seven-ounce, 100-percent
spun polyester fleece fabric with self-fabric col-
lar and cuffs, side entry pockets and side gus-
set panels. Sizes include S-3XL and it is avail-
able in six colors. J. America Wholesale Blanks
