It Started with a Single Shirt
COgear began with a simple but powerful idea: what if workwear fit women properly? In an on-site meeting early in her career, our founder Kym sat quietly, observing the room – using her strengths for listening to take it all in.
No one had asked her to solve the industry’s gender imbalance. But as she looked around the table, she realised the problem started with the basics – like access to uniforms that supported women through daily changes and different life stages such as pregnancy and menopause.
It was that exact moment that sparked COgear’s first design and a bigger mission to redefine what comfortable, considered workwear could be.
Designed With Women in Mind
From patented tear-away HMZ™ to easily accommodate height ranges, to pregnancy pants with stretch waistbands, COgear was built to make comfort and performance an industry standard. Every design detail has been created to adapt to the way our customers work, move, and live.
The goal was never just to make uniforms. It was to create a sense of equity and belonging through what you wear every day. COgear’s designs are intentionally small but deeply considered, because no one should ever feel uncomfortable or overlooked at work.
The Unexpected Happened
Out on site, something (un)surprising started to unfold. The workwear Kym designed for women was being worn by everyone. Men were swapping out their old uniforms for COgear because it simply felt better on their skin.
It turns out comfort and good design aren’t gendered. And neither are our values. What started as a women’s workwear label has naturally evolved into something bigger: a brand for everyone to enjoy. When you build a brand with thought, care, and intention – everyone belongs to it.
Where We’re Headed
Today, COgear is designed for every body – for all shapes, shifts, and jobs. Still proudly Australian, independently female-founded, and grounded in comfort, we continue to innovate with every new release.
