International fabric specialist Klopman has produced a CD-Rom giving a comprehensive guide to the corporate clothing.

“Developing Successful Corporate Clothing,” will be available at £50 (US$80) to anyone associated with the corporate workwear industry. The guide, covering English, German, French and Italian versions, aims to provide a definitive reference source for all those concerned in garment buying, manufacturing and care. Contents include wearer profiles , a buyers’ guide, an introduction to the role of corporate clothing; garment care and rental; specialist protective wear; garment design, style and manufacturing; a fabric factfile and a trend guide. It also guides readers on new trends.

The care section, (in which Klopman worked very closely with laundry group Sophus Berendsen) includes a country- by-country list of laundry groups. It also has a section on possible problems.
