For a few quid buy your own. For a few extra quid get your companies logo on it.

Put your logo on a suit and you can put it through the company books.

But as a warning tale, the old man was doing a desktop support gig at Chanel a few years ago. After two weeks he turned up wearing Chanel No. 5 and a smile. It turned legal very fast.

Their logo is quite possibly trademarked, and almost certainly copyrighted.
So yes they can stop you.

Do you really want to look the same as permanent employees?

Yes they can. Or, to put it another way, if you don't comply with their request, they can easily terminate the contract. Your choice.

Apologies if something like this has been posted before

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks
