Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose at the waist.
Due to the part-elasticated waist, if the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider if the selected waist size is correct or if the elastication is insufficient for your needs. Exchanging for a different size might be necessary.
Knee pad pockets are not holding pads securely.
Ensure you are using knee pads designed for work trousers with external pockets. Some pads may require a snugger fit or a different style of pocket. Check the dimensions of your knee pads against the pocket size.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Follow the care instructions, especially regarding washing temperature and drying. Tumble drying on medium heat can help soften the fabric. Avoid over-drying, which can make materials stiff.
Seam splitting after initial wear.
While designed with a double-stitched crotch for durability, if a seam splits shortly after purchase, contact the retailer for a potential exchange or return under warranty.
