Uniforms for drivers and shuttle staff: cut, fabric, cost
Driver and shuttle staff uniforms need breathable, low-crease fabric and ease at shoulder and seat. Industry uniforms from 300,000 VND, polos from 150,000 VND.
A uniform for drivers and shuttle staff needs three things: low-crease, breathable fabric for hours in the seat; enough room at shoulder, sleeve and seat to move while driving and getting in and out; and a calm colour that stays tidy after a full day on the road. For a driver serving executives or guests, a shirt and tailored trousers form the base. For a larger shuttle team, polos or industry uniforms often do the job. What follows tracks the jobs a driver actually does in a day.
A driver's day, seen by a tailor
Early start, hours in the seat, then out to open a door, load luggage and greet passengers in the lobby, then back into the seat. That sequence puts three different demands on clothing.
While seated, the fabric at the seat, crotch and back is under constant compression, so it creases and can bag. When turning or reaching for the wheel, the underarm and shoulder are pulled, and a tight cut will bind. With constant getting in and out, collar, buttons and pockets must stay neat and clear of the door and seat belt.
Two groups, two ways to dress them
Not everyone in transport work needs the same outfit. The table is a starting point to consider.
| Group | Suggestion | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Drivers for executives, guest pickup | Long-sleeved shirt, trousers, with waistcoat or jacket when needed | A composed look that survives long sitting |
| Drivers for staff or group shuttles | Polo or shirt, trousers | Breathable, quick to dry |
| Assistants who help passengers on and off | Polo or an industry uniform piece | Needs wide movement for luggage |
| Dispatchers at pickup points | Shirt or polo with a clear name badge | Easy to find in a crowd |

Construction details worth asking about
- Back of the shirt: a pleat or enough width across the mid-back so the shirt is not dragged up when the driver leans back.
- Underarm and sleeve: room to turn the wheel without binding when the arms lift.
- Collar: soft and low. A seat belt often rubs the neck, so a stiff, high collar becomes uncomfortable.
- Seat and crotch of trousers: firmly sewn in a cloth that recovers well, since this area takes the most compression when driving.
- Pockets: placed so contents do not dig into the seat, and secured for items such as cards and keys.
Fabric and colour for long sitting
A polyester blend with cotton or viscose is often described as creasing less than pure cotton and drying faster after washing, though the real feel depends on blend ratio and weave. For T-shirts and polos, piqué is often described as absorbent. Hold a real swatch, crush it and stretch it before approving.
On colour, calm tones such as navy, charcoal or black hide the marks that come from loading luggage, while white or very light shades show them. Place the brand colour in the logo, collar or cuffs rather than across the whole outfit. Mon Amie Uniform presents three options built on your brand colours so you can compare.
Measuring around the rota, starting prices and new drivers
Fleets run on rotas, so one fixed hour for everyone rarely works. Mon Amie Uniform measures on site to your schedule, including outside office hours; just tell us the driving roster so we can pick a window when most people are present. Each person is measured individually and measurements are stored under their employee ID. A driver who joins later is also measured individually and made to the approved sample, so they match the existing team. The full six steps are on our process page, and allow 4–6 weeks after sample approval.
On cost, industry uniforms start from 300,000 VND with a minimum of 20, and T-shirts and polos from 150,000 VND with a minimum of 30. Actual prices depend on fabric, style and quantity, and our budget estimate page helps you picture a first range. So that we can scale a proposal to your fleet, leave your details on the quote page or call 0888.111.118.
Frequently asked questions
Should drivers wear a polo or a shirt?
A polo is breathable and easy to launder, which suits shuttle drivers working with larger teams. A long-sleeved shirt with trousers suits drivers who serve executives or meet guests, where a more composed look matters. Both can sit in the same company as long as they share the brand colours.
What colour suits a driver's uniform?
Calm tones such as navy, charcoal or black generally hide marks better when loading luggage and getting in and out. White or very light shades look sharp when new but show marks after a few days on the road. View a real swatch in outdoor light before choosing.
Do drivers for executives need a waistcoat or jacket?
It depends on the image the company wants to keep. A waistcoat, from 600,000 VND with a minimum of 5, is a lighter option that moves more freely than a jacket; a suit jacket suits occasions needing more formality. Mon Amie Uniform advises according to how the uniform is used during the survey.
How does a driver who joins mid-year get a uniform?
They are measured individually and the garment is made to the approved sample, so it matches the existing fleet team. Measurements of people already measured are stored under their employee ID. Alterations are covered by the free 3-year warranty at every showroom.
