GLOWEAVE HISTORY
On September 29, 1944, a young man in airforce uniform walked into the Comfort Shirt and Underclothing
factory. Stepping in for his ill father-in-law, Saul Same had little time to learn the business of the ragtrade. The
Company had a staff of 12 and the main work entailed making underwear and polo shirts for the army. By the
end of the war the company was making boys shirts and then moved into mens shirts.
In 1951 a shirt was produced from 30 denier Nylon and marketed under the name Glo-Weave. The 'Glo'
representing the lustre of the fabric; 'weave' because, although the fabric was warpknitted, it looked woven.
The shirt became so popular that in 1954 the company became Gloweave Proprietary Limited.
Innovative advertising campaigns in print and in the new world of television commenced. In the late 1950's
Gloweave was a major advertising sponsor of In Melbourne Tonight, Channel 9's groundbreaking show hosted
by Graham Kennedy and Bert Newton. Kennedy proved a very popular advertiser. He helped make Gloweave a
household name and popularised the "Love me in my Gloweave" slogan.
Today Gloweave continues as an authority in shirt manufacturing in Australia and New Zealand.

Men’s Formal Wear

In today’s modern world, a person’s personality
plays a very important role in obtaining the
corporate success that he longs for. This is the
reason why a lot of men are very conscious and
meticulous about how they look. These modern
men have become more and more sensible to
what they choose to wear that some even have
become experimental in their formal clothing.
To always look smart, a man should be very
choosy with the clothing that he sports. So

formal business meetings, he must follow some
basic rules in fashion. Once you break any of the

look messy and lose confidence with your

Wear trousers of the right size. You
should not wear oversized pants

trousers that are too short or too long.
Your trousers should rest at the waist

the heel of your shoes. If your pants are
too long, get them hemmed.

Socks should always match the color of
your pants. Formal socks can add more
grace to your overall look. Make sure
that your socks should be long enough
to cover your shins even when you
cross your legs.

3 Dont’s When Shopping
for Business Shirts for
Formal Occasions
Choosing from among the many business shirts
is quite an easy task to do even for those who
are not used to shopping for one. However,
there are some important aspects to consider
before you decide to purchase a shirt in order
for you to pick one that is well worth your
money. It will just take a little effort to do and it
does not take that much time to accomplish
either. Many people commit simple mistakes
when buying this type of product so you should
be careful. One simple mistake and it could cost
you money, time, and effort. If you are planning
to buy one soon, keep in mind the following
things that you need to avoid:
Don’t choose oversized or undersized shirts.
Many people tend to buy loose shirts simply
because they are comfortable to wear. While it
really feels nice to wear big shirts, it is not
exactly ideal when it comes to the ones you
wear on formal occasions like a business shirt.
On the other hand, there are also those who
buy shirts which are too small for them. This is
not only uncomfortable wear but also doesn’t
look good. Pick out the ones that perfectly fit
your body. A little small or a little big ones could
be fine but do not go overboard. If you do so,
not only will you compromise your looks but
also your comfort.
Don’t buy shirts with too much design.
If it is for a formal occasion, do not buy overlydesigned shirts. In these types of events, your
best bet would be plain ones which have
neutral colours. Those with many designs are
distracting plus you won’t look professional in
them. Sure you may want to attract attention
but you need to do it at the right time and in
the right place. You can wear those on the
beach or as casual wear but definitely not
during meetings, at work, or any other formal
occasions. Keep it simple yet look neat and
respectable.
Don’t compromise quality and price.
This part is not very easy to do but it should not
be too hard either. Many consumers tend to
compromise quality in favour of price or vice
versa. Keep in mind that good shirts may not
come cheap so you may need to spend a little
more than you are used to spending if you want
a high-quality business shirt. Anyway, you will
still get your money’s worth. Not only will you
be looking fabulous but the item you will buy is
sure to last a long time. If it can withstand a lot
of wear and tear then you will still be able to
save money in the long run.
