Berne Apparel developed a versatile outerwear program for Matco Tools, designed to meet the demands of distributors and customers working in rugged automotive environments across the U.S. The collection includes three jackets—each balancing durability, comfort, and brand visibility.
The insulated hooded jacket features contrast striping and stitching matching Matco’s red, white, and blue logo for a modern look. A lightweight flannel-lined jacket offers a subdued black and grey design, while a non-insulated hooded rain jacket includes reflective piping for visibility and protection.
Built to withstand tough shop conditions and repeated wear, the collection reinforces Matco’s mission of Service, Trust, Results. Launched through district managers and showcased at the national Matco show, the program ensures lasting brand impact and continued distributor engagement.
