Steuben Glass Needs Filled by Sassy Scrubs

Sassy Scrubs, manufacturer and retailer of custom sewn scrubs uniforms recently joined with Steuben Glass,  world famous producer of unique glass crystal decorative art, to produce a solution to more sufficiently protect Steuben’s staff.  During making glass art, filing abrasives are used, which force workers to wear a uniform jacket or coat to help protect their garments and bodies from destructive abrasives.  Steuben Glass not only required a protective garment to withstand the finishing and processing of glass-making, but that would also survive their rigorous cleaning regimen.  Paramount on the list of priority for Steuben Glass, was to insure the garments would be comfortable for their glass makers to wear.

While Steuben Glass, in the City of Corning, NY,  recently produced a limited edition work of art, they realized they would require a special high quality coat to protect their artisans during production.   Because of the precision required while each art piece was cut and polished individually, the glass making artisans were exposed to fine particle abrasive powders which coated their exposed skin and clogged the zipper closures of their protective garments.  This caused the workers’ garments to be short-lived and to be hard to wear and more difficult to remove.  They looked to Sassy Scrubs to help determine a solution to this problem.

The Upstate, NY uniform designer and e-tailer custom made garments for each glass-maker, both men and women, in the necessary sizes and lengths, as needed by their individual jobs.  Sassy Scrubs President, Karen Bradley, states “We were honored to be requested by Steuben Glass to create custom jackets for them and were energized by the challenge.”  Sassy Scrubs produced highly durable round-neck jackets  with high quality snap mechanisms, custom pocket placement, selecting durable fabric that would not fade or ravel, despite the destructive abrasive powders to which they were exposed and despite the commercial gas dryers utilized in the glass company’s in house laundry.    The glass company has been very pleased with both the fit and the durability of the custom designed Sassy Scrubs jackets.
