What we do not compare
We have no documented figures for Mascot's models and therefore do not claim that J.A.K. is better, worse or cheaper. Nor do we compare prices, because prices change, and because a price per item does not tell you what the clothing costs per working day. If you are choosing between two brands, compare the specific model: fabric composition, weight in g/m², where the reinforcements are, sizes and fit. Try the fit on one employee before you equip the whole team.
As a business customer at Mestershop you see prices excluding VAT, see Become a business customer.
How to choose
- Start with the trade. Which pockets, reinforcements and certifications must the clothing have? If it needs to be hi-vis, it must be certified to EN ISO 20471.
- Try the fit. Order one set for one employee before you equip the whole team.
- Compare model against model, not brand against brand.
- Think about the logo. If the clothing needs a company logo, choose a model with the print tag.
