Today, Colbar Clothing is a premium corporate clothing supplier, built on the leadership of Colin Hansen and his family, and the expertise and dedication of a team of over 200 professionals.
Founded in 1992 within the Collies Group, Colbar Clothing set out with a clear mission: to become a reliable, high-capacity corporate uniform supplier for growing South African businesses. To deliver complete accountability and quality control, we systematically built a fully integrated operational model bringing custom design, garment manufacturing, warehousing, and nationwide distribution under our management, while partnering with trusted specialists to ensure consistent, high-quality garment branding. Today, we remain the trusted partner South Africa’s leading enterprises rely on to dress their teams.
The Collies Group comprises multiple companies serving diverse markets, including catalogue retail, men’s fashion, corporate uniforms, and manufacturing. By combining shared knowledge, experience, resources, and services, each entity strengthens the others, creating an efficient and seamless solution for all your corporate clothing needs. Common processes and a commitment to excellence ensure consistent quality and service across every division.
From our Morewood Factory, Colbar manages the design and manufacturing of uniforms with quality and consistency at the core. Our in-house capabilities give us greater control over the process, allowing us to create uniform programmes tailored to your business and its people.
When speed and convenience matter, our catalogue range gives you access to a wide selection of ready-made apparel, helping you get the right garments to your team without compromising on quality. Through our partnership with Rolando, we also offer access to an established range of apparel designed to meet the demands of modern businesses.
