Avenel, New Jersey-based Vantage Apparel, a manufacturer and decorator of custom apparel, partners up with Ossian, Indiana-based rugged workwear brand Berne Apparel. Making workwear since 1915, Berne is “committed to providing hard-working Americans with workwear that is made right, made to work, and made affordable,” according to its website.

Berne Workwear and Vantage Apparel

According to Ira Neaman, president of Vantage Apparel, “The addition of Berne workwear brings an array of high-quality styles to the forefront, catering to various uniform preferences and outerwear needs. We’re starting off with styles that are most popular for outdoor workers, but there is also a fashion component that broadens the audience. Workwear has been a solid trend with younger buyers for several seasons.”

The launch of Berne at Vantage Apparel includes four best-selling styles:

• Berne Heritage Duck Hooded Active Jacket (BERNHJ51)
• Berne Heartland Washed Duck Hooded Work Jacket (BERNHJ375)
• Berne Heritage Duck Chore Coat (BERNCH416)
• Berne Heritage Thermal-Lined Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt (BERNSZ101)

Full-Service Decoration

Vantage Apparel’s decoration capabilities allow customers to have their Berne pieces embroidered or laser etched. Patches are also available for customization.
