Plus-Sized Cintas

Cincinnati, Ohio–based uniform company Cintas Corp. launched a collection of plus-size apparel for sizes 16W to 32W. The collection of corporate-identity workplace apparel includes skirts, slacks and blazers. Cintas also launched the “Style Plus Confidence” campaign to highlight the new collection. The company is also offering a free “Fit Kit,” which includes information on taking measurements to determine sizing. “More than 62 percent of women in the U.S. wear a size 12 or larger,” said Christine Ward, senior manager of technical design, in a statement. “Today, uniform apparel manufacturers offer larger sizes as an extension of their misses lines, which can be tight and poorly fitted. Cintas’ new women’s sizes are approximately 1frac12; inches to 2frac12; inches larger in the bust, waist and hips, providing women greater comfort.”
