FAQs
What material are the Fort 916 trousers made from?
The trousers are made from a durable blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245gsm.
Do the trousers come with knee pads?
No, the knee pads are not included but the trousers are designed with dedicated pockets to insert standard work trouser knee pads.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
The poly/cotton blend offers breathability, but they are designed as standard work trousers. For very hot conditions, consider lighter fabrics or alternative designs.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Fort size guide, paying attention to both waist and leg length measurements. The specific model is available in various sizes, including 30L.
Can I wash these trousers in a washing machine?
Yes, they are machine washable. It is recommended to follow the specific instructions on the garment's care label for best results.
What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?
It means that only a portion of the waistband is elasticated, usually the sides or back, providing a more comfortable and adjustable fit without the looseness of a fully elasticated waistband.
Are there other colours available?
Yes, this model is typically available in other colours such as Black, in addition to Navy Blue.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too tight or loose
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider if a different size or another model might be more suitable.
YKK zip is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Try gently working the zip up and down. Lubricating the zip teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can help improve smoothness.
Trouser leg length is incorrect
These trousers are available in multiple leg lengths. Double-check the size ordered against the available options. If the length is not as expected, consider hemming or exchanging for the correct length.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This is common with new poly/cotton blends. Follow the care instructions for washing and drying. A fabric softener can be used during the final rinse cycle, or the trousers may soften with subsequent wears and washes.
