FAQs
What material are these trousers made of?
The Fort 916 Workforce Trousers are made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245gsm.
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature knee-pad pockets designed to accommodate separate knee pads for added protection.
How do I find the right leg length?
This guide focuses on the 46L size, which typically indicates a longer leg length. It's best to measure your inseam and compare it with the available leg length options when purchasing.
Can these trousers be worn for casual use?
Yes, while designed for work, their simple, straight-cut style and comfortable fabric make them suitable for casual wear as well.
What is the main advantage of the part-elasticated waist?
The part-elasticated waist provides a more flexible and comfortable fit, adapting to different body shapes and movements throughout the day.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of weather?
The poly/cotton blend offers moderate breathability and protection. They are suitable for general work conditions but may not be ideal for extreme heat or cold without appropriate layering.
What other sizes and colors are available for the Fort 916 Workforce Trouser?
The Fort 916 range typically includes a variety of waist and leg sizes, as well as different colors such as Black and Blue.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight despite size 46L.
Check if the part-elasticated waist is fully extended. If the issue persists, consider if the straight-leg cut is the correct style for your preference or try a size up if more room is needed.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the YKK zipper. Gently pull the fabric away and try moving the zipper slowly. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax can sometimes help.
Fabric seems to be pilling after washing.
Reduce the washing temperature and consider using a gentler cycle on your washing machine. Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or towels.
Knee-pad pockets are not holding pads securely.
Ensure you are using standard-sized knee pads designed for work trousers. Some pads may be too thick or too thin for a secure fit in the pockets.
