Manufacturers of uniforms offer custom and branded clothing for flight deck, cabin, lounge, ticketing, sales office and check-in personnel serving airlines and private aviation.
Aramark’s aviation apparel products are targeted to the “under-wing market,” which includes airline mechanics, technicians and ground handling service providers. The Philadelphia-based company self-manufactures all of its core product offerings, encompassing an entire line of apparel made from recycled materials.
As examples, Aramark has trademarked several fabrics including Reterra, made from recycled plastics, and Ostratec made from repurposed oyster shells. Aramark also partners with Unifi/Repreve to create garments made specifically from plastic bottles.
Aramark’s array of off-the-shelf uniform solutions is available for delivery by route sales representative or directly to the end user. Ordering is available via catalog, e-commerce, Aramark’s field service force and route sales representative team. Individual customer accounts are available.

A Broad Product Line
A Cut Above (ACA), based in Louisville, Colorado, manufactures a complete line of uniforms for airlines and corporate flight departments. With multiple price points and a wide range of products, ACA outfits pilots, inflight staff, station personnel, ground crews and mechanics.
In addition to a full stock for retail sales, the company has design capabilities for custom items, of which 95% are manufactured by ACA and its partners. Clothing products are available at its Denver retail store and through an on-line catalogue.
While airlines account for most of its business, ACA offers a number of programs for corporate flight departments. As examples, small flight departments may order directly through ACA’s retail channel, while larger ones are eligible for managed accounts with direct ordering, allowance management and monthly billing.
For sustainability, ACA uses minimal packaging and products with longer lifecycles.
