FAQs
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, the knee pads are sold separately. You will need to purchase compatible CORDURA® knee pads to use the integrated kneepad pockets and meet EN ISO 13688:2013 & EN 14404:2004 +A1:2010 specifications.
What is CORDURA® reinforcement?
CORDURA® is a highly durable and abrasion-resistant fabric commonly used in workwear to reinforce high-wear areas, significantly increasing the lifespan of the garment.
How should I wash these work trousers?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on a medium setting, avoiding direct contact with reflective elements.
What is the benefit of the gusset at the crotch?
The gusset is an extra panel of fabric inserted into the crotch area. It provides enhanced freedom of movement, reduces stress on the seams during bending and stretching, and increases the overall durability of the trousers.
Do these trousers offer high visibility?
The trousers feature a reflective heat seal chevron for improved visibility in low-light conditions. However, they are not certified as high-visibility workwear (e.g., EN ISO 20471) unless worn with other appropriate garments.
What is the material composition?
The trousers are made from a blend of 98% cotton and 2% lycra, providing a balance of comfort, breathability, and a slight amount of stretch.
Can these trousers be worn by women?
These trousers are designed with a male fit in mind. While some unisex options may exist within the Dickies range, this specific model (WD4901) is generally categorized for male wearers. Fit may vary.
Troubleshooting
Knee pads don't fit properly
Ensure you are using CORDURA® knee pads specifically designed to be compatible with EN ISO 13688:2013 & EN 14404:2004 +A1:2010 specifications. Check that the knee pad is inserted correctly into the dedicated internal pocket.
Trousers feel restrictive
Verify you have selected the correct waist size. The gusset at the crotch is designed for added mobility, but a size too small will naturally restrict movement. Consider if the fabric blend (98% cotton, 2% lycra) meets your comfort needs.
Seams are fraying prematurely
Ensure washing and drying instructions are strictly followed. High heat can damage cotton fibers and stitching. Avoid harsh detergents. For extreme wear, consider reinforcing stitches manually if basic care is insufficient.
Pockets seem too small for tools
The trousers feature specific pockets like a ruler pocket and a CORDURA® cargo pocket. Ensure you are utilizing the intended pockets for specific tools. The cargo pocket is designed for bulkier items, while others are for more streamlined tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Knee Pad Insertion: To utilize the protective features, purchase compatible CORDURA® knee pads. Open the internal pocket located on the knee area from the inside of the trouser leg and insert the knee pad, ensuring it sits comfortably and securely within the designated pocket.
Compatibility:
- Knee Pads: These trousers are designed to be compatible with CORDURA® knee pads that meet EN ISO 13688:2013 & EN 14404:2004 +A1:2010 specifications.
- General Workwear: Suitable for a wide range of trade professions including construction, carpentry, plumbing, and general maintenance.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash warm (40°C). Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and CORDURA® reinforcement.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Over-drying can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric.
- Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over the reflective heat seal chevron and any printed logos.
- Material: The primary material is 98% cotton and 2% lycra. Cotton may shrink slightly if exposed to high heat; therefore, following the recommended washing and drying temperatures is important.
