FAQs
What is Kingsmill fabric?
Kingsmill is a durable polycotton fabric blend (65% Polyester, 35% Cotton) used by Portwest for workwear. It is known for its toughness, comfort, and good performance in demanding conditions.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The Portwest Combat Trousers feature a total of six pockets, including multiple utility and easy-access cargo pockets designed for ample storage.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
The polycotton blend offers durability, but for extremely hot conditions, 100% cotton or lighter synthetic blends might offer more breathability. The UPF rating, however, is beneficial for sun protection.
Can I machine wash and dry these trousers?
Yes, they can be machine washed at 40°C with similar colours and tumble dried on a low heat setting. Refer to the care instructions for detailed guidance.
What does UPF 40+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering significant sun protection.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to consult the Portwest sizing chart, paying close attention to the waist measurement (UK size 32 in this specific variant) and potentially inseam length if specified, to ensure the best fit.
Are the cargo pockets secure?
Yes, the cargo pockets feature hook and loop flaps closure for easy access and added security of the contents.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight after washing.
The trousers are made from pre-shrunk fabric. Ensure you follow the washing instructions precisely. If a slight tightness occurs, wear them for a short period to allow the fabric to adapt to your body. Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying.
Hook and loop fasteners are not sticking well.
Clean the hook and loop flaps by removing any lint, dust, or debris. You can use a stiff brush or a dedicated hook and loop cleaner. Ensure the flaps are completely dry before use.
Seams appear to be stretching or fraying.
While reinforced, extreme stress can strain seams. Check for any snagged threads and trim them carefully. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use or putting undue stress on the garment. If fraying is significant, consider if the size is appropriate.
Fabric feels stiff.
New polycotton fabrics can sometimes feel stiff. A few washes following the care instructions should soften the fabric. Using a fabric softener during the wash cycle (check product label for compatibility) can also help.
