This article presents the key elements in understanding the development and design of uniforms for the employees of the Customs Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for the purpose of corporate identity. It will show, in detail, the process from design to analysis of evaluation data for the multifunctional waterproof jacket, after three months of wearing by the employees. The success of a corporate uniform depends on how effectively it serves a specific function, makes the organisation recognisable in society and also on the satisfaction level of the user. The results are presented in four groups: First, the relationship between design and communicating identity for recognition in the market; Second, the determination of the pattern and functionality considerations; Third, the selection of materials and their properties; Last, the quality of workmanship, giving practical value to the above parameters.
