FAQs
What materials are these trousers made from?
They are made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.
What sizes are available?
Waist sizes range from 28 to 48. Leg lengths are available in Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33").
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are not included but can be purchased separately to fit the integrated knee pad pockets.
How should I care for these trousers?
They are machine washable. Follow the care label for best results, typically washing at moderate temperatures and drying on a low heat setting.
Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?
The Polyester/Cotton blend offers some breathability, making them suitable for general outdoor work. For very high temperatures, consider lighter garments or appropriate layering.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, these trousers are also available in Black and Navy.
What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?
It means that only a portion of the waistband is elasticated, usually at the sides or back, providing a more adaptable and comfortable fit without being fully elastic.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose at the waist
Adjust your size selection or consider the part-elasticated waist for a more flexible fit. Check the size guide for specific measurements.
Knee pads do not fit securely
Ensure you are using standard-sized knee pads compatible with the pocket dimensions. Some adjustment may be needed to position them correctly.
Fabric shows signs of premature wear
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can degrade the fabric over time.
