What is Blaklader?

When it comes to workwear of indestructible quality, you can't ignore the Blaklader brand. Blaklader is a Swedish manufacturer dedicated to developing, manufacturing, and marketing workwear, gloves, and footwear for demanding professionals. The brand is known for its functional design and extreme durability, designed for those who work in challenging environments.

The brand distinguishes itself with a down-to-earth Scandinavian approach: clothing shouldn't just protect, but also make work easier. At Unishore Workwear, we see that Blaklader is a favorite among carpenters, welders, electricians, and road builders who refuse to compromise on their equipment.

What is the history of Blaklader?

Blaklader's origins date back to 1959 in Svenljunga, Sweden. Since its founding, the family business has grown into one of the largest players in the global market. What makes them unique is that they control the entire production process themselves. Over the years, Blaklader has also adopted a highly socially responsible approach. They own their own factories in countries including Vietnam and Sri Lanka, giving them complete control over working conditions and the quality of the final product.

How does Blaklader promise to be sustainable?

For Blaklader, sustainably produced clothing isn't just a marketing term, but a core value. Their philosophy is simple: clothes that last longer need to be replaced less often, which reduces their ecological footprint. Thanks to their own production and rigorous testing in their own laboratories, they guarantee this longevity. A key component of this is the OEKO-TEX Made in Green certification, which demonstrates that products have been tested for harmful substances and produced in environmentally friendly facilities.

In terms of sustainability, Blaklader is taking major steps to reduce emissions. They use Dope Dyed fibers, where the color pigment is added during the spinning process, saving a significant amount of water and chemicals. Logistics is also being optimized; for example, packaging materials are being redesigned by minimizing plastic and experimenting with innovative materials like lignin.

How does Blaklader workwear fit?

A frequently asked question is how the clothing fits. Blaklader is generally known for a very precise and ergonomic fit. Because Swedish sizing can sometimes differ from what we're used to in the Netherlands, we always recommend consulting the Blaklader size chart . The clothing is designed to move with the body, whether you're kneeling, reaching, or lifting.

What kind of products does Blaklader offer?

Blaklader's product range is impressively broad. They offer a complete head-to-toe solution.
