About Trade Blue
Who is Trade Blue?
Trade Blue is an Australian-owned workwear and safety brand founded by Aaron, a third-generation roofer from Adelaide, South Australia. Our mission is simple: create high-quality trade products at fair prices without compromising on safety, comfort, or durability.
Why was Trade Blue created?
After years of working in the trades, we noticed that many products were becoming more expensive while quality continued to decline. Trade Blue was built to give tradies access to quality gear that works as hard as they do.
