They are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C) and avoid high heat for drying to maintain their condition.

What colours are available for this model?

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight/loose at the waist.

The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. If still uncomfortable, consider if the chosen size is correct or if another size from the available range would be more suitable.

Knee pads do not stay in place.

Ensure you are using knee pads designed for insertion into pockets. Adjust the position of the knee pads within the pocket for a secure fit before starting work.

Fabric has shrunk after washing.

Check washing instructions. Avoid high heat drying settings; opt for low heat tumble dry or air dry. Ensure the water temperature is not excessively hot.

Seams or pockets appear to be weakening.

Inspect trousers for signs of excessive wear. For minor issues, consider reinforcement. For significant damage, replacement might be necessary. Follow care instructions strictly.

  • Good value for money.
  • Comfortable fit due to the part-elasticated waist.
  • Practical features like knee pad pockets enhance functionality.
  • Available in multiple leg lengths for a better fit.
  • Durable fabric blend suitable for work environments.

Cons

  • May require specific washing to maintain colour and shape.
  • Basic design might not appeal for non-work casual wear.
  • Knee pads are not included and must be purchased separately.
  • The fabric blend may not be as breathable as 100% cotton in very hot conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Compatible with standard knee pads that can be inserted into the designated knee pad pockets. The sizing is designed for adult males.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable. It is recommended to wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C or 104°F).
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry to preserve fabric integrity and prevent shrinkage.
  • Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on any printed elements if present.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach, as this can damage the fabric and colour.
