Full details
The Fort 916 Workforce Trouser in Black, size 48L, is designed for adults seeking durable and comfortable workwear. Its key benefit lies in its practical features like knee-pad pockets and a part-elasticated waist for a better fit, making it ideal for demanding jobs. A potential caveat is that the 245 gsm fabric, while durable, might feel substantial in warmer weather.

FAQs
What material are these trousers made of?
They are made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245 gsm.
What sizes are available for the leg length?
The trousers are available in three leg lengths: 29" (Short), 31" (Regular), and 33" (Long).
Do the trousers come with knee pads?
No, the knee pads are not included with the trousers. They feature pockets designed to hold separate knee pad inserts.
How should I wash these trousers?
You can machine wash them at a maximum of 40°C and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning.
Is the waist fully elasticated?
No, the waist is part-elasticated, meaning elastic is present on the sides or back for a more comfortable and flexible fit, combined with a standard button or zip closure at the front.
What does '48L' refer to in the size?
'48' refers to the waist size, and 'L' refers to the leg length, typically indicating a longer inseam within the available options.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of work?
These trousers are designed for general workwear, offering durability and practicality. They are particularly well-suited for roles involving physical activity or kneeling, thanks to features like knee pad pockets and robust fabric.
Troubleshooting
Trouser feels too tight or loose at the waist.
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. For a tighter fit, consider wearing a belt. If too loose, a belt is the primary solution.
Knee pad pockets do not fit standard knee pads.
Ensure you are using knee pads designed for work trousers. The pockets are sized for typical inserts; adjust positioning as needed.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This is normal for durable workwear fabrics. The material will soften with continued wear and washing. Ironing on a medium heat can also help.
Zip is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zip. Try gently wiggling the zip pull. If it persists, a small application of graphite (pencil lead) or wax can help lubricate the teeth.
