The Murphy & Hartelius Legacy
M&H Uniforms is a family-owned business with roots dating back to 1959.
The company was founded by William Murphy, who began outfitting airline pilots during their layovers at Shannon Airport in Limerick, Ireland. He later partnered with Roger Hartelius, a master tailor from Gothenburg, Sweden, and together they built a reputation for providing exceptional uniforms and personalized service to some of the industry's most respected airlines, including United Airlines, Pan Am, World Airways, and many others.
From a small tailoring operation serving pilots in Ireland to a trusted uniform provider serving airlines and transportation organizations across North America, M&H has remained focused on quality, service, and long-term partnerships.
As the company grew, William Murphy's sons—Declan, Gene, and Damian Murphy—joined the business and helped expand M&H beyond pilot uniforms to include flight attendants, customer service, and municipal transportation uniform programs. Under their leadership, M&H continued to grow while maintaining its commitment to quality, service, and long-term customer relationships.
Today, M&H Uniforms remains proudly family-owned and operated by third-generation owners Olivia Nasir and Aidan Del Canizo. Located near San Francisco International Airport, we continue to carry forward the values established by our founders more than six decades ago.
Today, those values continue to guide every uniform program we support and every customer relationship we build.
