Product Information
Full details
The Fort 916 Workforce Straight Cut Work Trouser is designed for adult male tradespeople seeking durable, comfortable, and practical workwear. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, easy-to-maintain option with features like knee-pad pockets and a part-elasticated waist for enhanced comfort during long workdays. A minor caveat is the specific fabric blend which, while durable, may require attention to washing instructions to maintain its integrity.

How should I wash these trousers?
They are machine washable at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleaching and tumble dry on low heat. Iron on a medium setting.
What types of trades are these trousers suitable for?
These trousers are suitable for a wide range of trade workers, including builders, carpenters, painters & decorators, plumbers, electricians, and engineers.
Do the trousers have an elasticated waist?
Yes, they feature a part-elasticated waist for added comfort and a better fit.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight around the waist
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but for significant discomfort, consider a larger size or a different style.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Ensure you are using the correct size knee pads for the pockets. Some pads may require a snugger fit or adjustment. Check that the pockets are not obstructed.
Fabric appears faded after washing
Follow care instructions carefully. Wash at 40°C with similar colours and avoid excessive heat during drying or ironing. Consider washing inside out to preserve colour.
Seams are coming undone
Inspect the garment for any signs of damage. For minor seam issues, a professional repair might be possible. For significant damage, consider replacement.
