FAQs
What material are the Fort 916 Workforce Trousers made from?
They are made from a durable blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245gsm.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your waist and desired leg length. The trousers are available in three leg lengths: 29" (Short), 31" (Regular), and 33" (Long).
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are not included but the trousers feature integrated pockets designed to hold standard work trousers knee pads.
Can I wear these trousers for different types of work?
Yes, their durable construction, comfortable fit, and practical features like cargo pockets make them suitable for a wide range of trades and general work.
How should I care for these trousers to ensure longevity?
Machine wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C), tumble dry on low heat or line dry, and iron on a medium setting if needed. Avoid bleach.
What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?
It means that only a portion of the waistband is elasticated, typically the sides or back, providing a more comfortable and adaptable fit compared to a fully elasticated or non-elasticated waist.
What is the main benefit of the cargo style?
The cargo style provides additional, usually bellowed, pockets on the sides of the legs, offering convenient storage for tools, fasteners, or other items you need to keep accessible.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or uncomfortable around the waist.
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is key for comfort.
Fabric appears worn after several washes.
Follow the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat.
Knee pad pockets do not fit standard knee pads.
Verify the size of the knee pads you are using. While designed for standard pads, some exceptionally thick or unusually shaped pads may not fit perfectly. Check the dimensions of your knee pads against the pocket size.
Inseam length is incorrect.
Double-check the leg length ordered (Short, Regular, Long) against your actual inseam measurement. If the length is consistently off, consider if the trousers may have shrunk unexpectedly; review care instructions.
