Made-to-order uniforms for organisations
Made to measure
Made for each wearer
No bulk buy
Production 7–10 business days
The entry problem
You buy for the average, and everyone has to wear it.
The people outside the curve wear the nearest size
Made for each wearer
A size range is chosen for the middle of the workforce. Everyone outside it wears something that does not fit for the life of the contract.
You pay for people you have not hired yet
Nothing bought ahead
A programme is bought in bulk against a guess at headcount and sizes, months ahead. The sizes nobody needed are stored, reordered and eventually written off.
Your people are your brand in person
On brand, in person
Most uniforms come out of a catalogue, so your people end up dressed like every other company's. The most visible part of your brand says nothing about it.
The correction
Measure first, then make it.
Made for each wearer
Nobody wears the nearest size.
Digital measurement profiles, digital pattern systems and 3D development workflows support made-to-measure fit where applicable.
Measurements are recorded once and held, so each garment is made to that person’s measurements rather than the closest size on a chart.
Nothing bought ahead
Made for people who already work here.
Garments are made for someone who exists. There is no size curve to guess at, and nothing sits in a storeroom waiting for someone who never starts.
No warehousing, no size ranging and no capital sitting in uniforms. The programme runs as a service rather than as inventory on your balance sheet.
On brand, in person
Stand out where most companies never look.
Most companies never think of the uniform as part of the brand. DAKUTX works with organisations to configure private uniform and merchandise programs, including product, ordering and repeat-program infrastructure. The design can be developed with Daniel Avakian and the studio.
Each program is made to one confirmed specification. Your people look like your company, and like nobody else’s.
The end-to-end ecosystem
From concept to the customer's door.
Most uniform programmes run through a supplier, a factory, a warehouse and a fulfilment contract. Holding them all together costs you margin, and it takes time away from running the business. DAKUTX offers the full ecosystem. You keep control of the programme, use only the parts you need, and add more as you grow.

Reach
Whether you want the full system or to go straight to production, we’ve got you.
Manufacturing
Tailoring, outerwear, leather and knitwear, all with no minimum order. Each piece is made to the wearer's measurements, with standard production typically seven to ten business days.
Design
Daniel Avakian and the studio can design the programme with you, or work to a specification you already hold.
Brand & Marketing
A uniform that carries your brand properly, from the cloth and the cut to the packaging it arrives in.
Market Reach
A design house that has dressed name talent for two decades, making your uniform to that same standard.
What you also get
New garments in weeks, not months.
Standard production is typically seven to ten business days from final order approval and payment, followed by delivery time. Site rollouts run on the same cycle as the original order.
Fit new starters without a new order.
Measurements are captured once and held. A new starter can be ordered on the standard production cycle rather than waiting for the next bulk buy.
Replace a garment without a new buy.
Replacements run on the same standard production cycle as the original order, with no minimum to meet.
Made against real orders.
Nothing is made before it is ordered, and each garment is made for a named wearer.Production is driven by demand rather than speculative bulk inventory.Fit-led production designed around the intended wearer and use.
Delivered to each person or site.
Delivered per site or per individual, in your packaging. Staff receive something made for them, not issued from a box.
Designed with you, if you want it.
Bring a specification you already use, or have the programme designed with Daniel Avakian and the studio. Either way it is built to your brand.

Is DAKUTX
a good fit?
Take the diagnostic to find out if we can reinvent your uniform program.
Take the DAKUTX checkThe offer
A project, an ongoing program, or a scoped rollout.
Development and production are quoted for your program. Your proposal confirms the charges, billing frequency, term and cancellation process before you commit.
Enterprise Project
For a defined requirement with an agreed range and delivery plan. Your quote sets out product development, samples, approved quantities, sizing or measurements, branding, production, delivery, approvals and payment milestones.
Enterprise Ongoing
From A$499 per month + GST
For organisations that need a continuing process for new starters, replacement garments or repeat orders. Your proposal defines the available range, authorised orderers, approval process, reporting and support. Garment orders and delivery are priced separately from any monthly platform fee. Your proposal itemises every charge, and the total depends on your scope.
Enterprise Bespoke
For multiple locations, integrations, custom approvals, complex user permissions or a separately scoped rollout. DAKUTX assesses feasibility and provides a written implementation and commercial proposal. Integrations, service levels and custom development are included only when expressly specified in the signed scope.
Before you ask
What it costs
Per unit, made to measure usually costs more than a bulk order. Against it you are not funding stock up front or writing off a size range that does not fit. Your proposal states the charges before you commit.
Whose fabric
Bring your own cloth or use ours, and match an existing specification if you have one.
Where it is made
Production is undertaken through DAKUTX’s approved manufacturing network, with core production currently based in China.
Who makes it
DAKUTX works with approved production partners selected for relevant manufacturing capability and quality requirements.
How orders are recorded
Each garment is ordered against a named wearer and one confirmed specification.
If it is wrong
If a garment is produced incorrectly or materially outside the confirmed order specifications, DAKUTX will work to correct the issue, including remake where appropriate. Issues arising from incorrect measurements supplied, subsequent measurement changes or preference changes may incur additional charges. Nothing in this policy limits rights available under applicable consumer law.
The DAKUTX process
Six steps, start to doorstep.
01
Start with a call
Headcount, sites, roles and the standard you need to hold. We work out whether this fits your procurement before anything else.
02
Read the proposal
You get the scope in writing. It sets out the range, what is included, what is charged separately and who does each step.
03
Sign it
Onboarding starts once you sign. Nothing begins before that.
04
Specify and sample
One specification, sampled and signed off before anything is made at volume.
05
Measure the workforce
Measurements captured once and held digitally, so refits and new starters do not restart the process.
06
Make and replenish
Made to order, delivered per site, replenished on the same cycle without a new bulk buy.
How it started
Our story.
DAKUTX is founded and led by Daniel Avakian, one of Australia’s leading fashion designers. He trained in Florence, worked in London under Alexander McQueen and Giles Deacon, and has run his own label out of Sydney since 2007.
Two decades of running that label hit the same wall every season, and the wall was the minimum order. So he spent several years building the production system underneath it.
Daniel and his team of pattern engineers and production managers run the making, with DAKUTX’s approved manufacturing network behind them. Brand and marketing people work alongside the clients who want that.
Design is part of it if you want it. We can work to a specification you already have, or design the programme with you from the role up.
Start with a call.
One call to work out what you actually need. For some organisations that is a full uniform programme. For others it is one role, fitted properly, to see how it runs.
