It is made from a durable 240gsm blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.
Does it come with knee pads included?

How do I wash the Bib & Brace Overall?
It is recommended to machine wash at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C) and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.
What is the main benefit of the Bib & Brace design?
The design provides full chest and front leg coverage, offering protection from dirt and spills, while allowing for ease of movement.
Is there a pocket for valuables?

What sizes are available?
The product information provided specifies this variant as size 38 waist. Other sizes and colors may be available in different listings.
Can this be worn in hot weather?

Troubleshooting
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the stitching. Minor loose threads can often be trimmed with scissors. For significant issues, contact customer support.
Zip pocket is difficult to open/close
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure washing and drying instructions (especially temperature settings) were followed. If significant shrinkage occurred contrary to instructions, contact customer support.
Knee pad pockets feel too tight or loose
The pockets are designed for standard knee pads. Ensure you are using compatible knee pads. The fit should allow the pad to stay in place without excessive pressure.
