Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight in the waist
Utilize the part-elasticated waist for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size based on measurements.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Ensure the knee pads are the correct size and shape for the pockets. Some knee pads may fit better than others; consider trying different compatible pads.
Fabric seems stiff after washing
This is normal for robust workwear fabrics. The material will soften with further wear and washing. Consider using a fabric softener on a low setting during the wash cycle if preferred.
Seams feel weak after heavy use
While designed for durability, extremely heavy or abrasive use can stress seams. Ensure the double-stitched crotch is intact. For significant wear, consider reinforcement or replacement.
