What is International Uniform Week?

International Uniform Week is the annual week-long celebration of uniforms and what wearing a uniform means to those who wear it. Each year International Uniform Week launches global uniform supplier Mi Hub's search for Uniform Heroes.

Global uniform supplier, Mi Hub launched the first annual Uniform Hero campaign and International Uniform Week in 2023 in collaboration with its family of brands, including Derby-based Dimensions, US-based Affinity, Cambuslang-based Yaffy and Bristol-based Alexandra.

The first annual celebration in 2023 saw two uniform heroes crowned and surprised on the job amongst their colleagues. Royal Mail Postie, Terence, and NHS Occupational Therapist, Emily were gifted a box of goodies including a Love to Shop voucher, a personalised Regatta jacket, a bespoke personalised teddy dressed in their uniform, and other goodies.

International Uniform Week, 12^th – 18^th February 2024 kicked off the search for uniform heroes earlier this year as the campaign opened for submissions. The Uniform Hero campaign seeks to recognise uniform-wearing public service figures who feel proud to represent their job and hear from those who proudly wear their uniform.

The campaign is centred around what uniform means to workers, whether it’s a sense of belonging and unity, pride in representing an organisation, or something personal to them. The campaign recognises that a uniform means something different to everyone and celebrates all unique and personal experiences.
