This will be the first full model change of the uniforms in about 40 years, since 1982. The planning and development of the new uniforms, the third generation since the original, involved a large number of employees from the initial concept to the design and specification discussions.

They feature a 3D structure using lightweight, stretchable fabric that allows for ease of movement, well-thought details such as various functional pockets for workplace comfort, and a sophisticated design that shines both individually and collectively.
During development, feedback and requests were gathered from a broad range of employees, including those of different genders, ages, and job roles, such as manufacturing and office workers. Fourteen prototype designs were created based on this input. The most popular prototype was selected by an online vote open to all employees in the domestic group companies. The design and specifications were further improved before finalized, incorporating more than 10,000 comments and requests, including those gathered during internal exhibitions and from wear-testers.
The new uniforms are designed to enable each individual to work with more vitality and pride in the ever-changing work environment, including the diversity of work styles, the workforce, and the impacts of climate change and workplace conditions.
The new uniforms, updated for the first time in nearly 40 years, were developed through bottom-up input from employees.
