How it started

The father-daughter duo, Chris and Kayla, started the business after sharing frustrations with the abundance of cheap clothing and time-intensive ordering processes.

Chris has decades of experience running a business. While ordering apparel for another company, he found that most options were low quality and wore out quickly. He realized that if he wouldn’t wear it himself, he shouldn’t expect his team to wear it either.

Kayla’s expertise lies in strategic planning, program management, and sustainability. When she tried to organize company apparel for her workplace, she found the process unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming.

Together, they set out to solve two problems: poor-quality apparel and frustrating ordering systems.

Brand identity

Helmsman was created because a uniform isn’t just clothing; it’s a statement. It tells the world, “this is where I work” or “this is what I do,” and we want you to feel comfortable and confident doing so.

Why Helmsman?

A helmsman is the person who steers a ship, a leader who takes responsibility and charts the course ahead. Leaders should feel confident and comfortable in what they wear as they represent their work.

Chris and Kayla see themselves as leaders and are committed to helping you feel first-class in the apparel that represents your brand. Entrepreneurship, customer service, and craftsmanship run deep in their family, and they are proud to set sail on this next chapter.
