FAQs

What type of fabric are these trousers made from?

The Portwest Combat Trousers are made from pre-shrunk Kingsmill fabric, known for its durability and resilience.

How many pockets do these trousers have, and what types?

These trousers feature a total of six pockets: two back patch pockets, standard side pockets, and accessible cargo pockets.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which protects the wearer from 98% of harmful UV rays.

Are these trousers suitable for very hot weather?

While durable, the Kingsmill fabric might be warmer than lighter materials. They are designed for work conditions, balancing protection and functionality, but may feel warm in extreme heat.

How should I care for my Portwest Combat Trousers?

Machine wash warm at 40°C with similar colours, do not bleach, tumble dry medium, and iron on medium heat. Avoid dry cleaning.

Can I rely on the pre-shrunk fabric to maintain its size?

Yes, the Kingsmill fabric is pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage. However, always refer to the sizing chart to select the correct size initially, as fit is crucial.

What is the closure system for the pockets?

The pockets utilize hook and loop (Velcro) closures for a secure and convenient fastening.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or too loose after washing.

The Kingsmill fabric is pre-shrunk, so significant size changes are unlikely. Ensure you selected the correct initial size (38 UK waist). If the fit is still not ideal, consider if a different size or model from the Portwest range might be more suitable.

Hook and loop closures are not holding securely.

Clean the hook and loop fasteners with a stiff brush to remove any lint or debris that may be preventing them from adhering properly. Ensure the fabric around the closure is not excessively worn.

Excessive wear or tearing at seams or stress points.

While reinforced, extreme stress can still cause wear. Ensure you are not overloading pockets or subjecting the trousers to abrasive actions beyond their intended design. Check for any manufacturing defects if wear is unusually rapid.

Reduced effectiveness of UV protection over time.

UV protection in fabrics can diminish with excessive washing and wear. Follow care instructions diligently to maximize the lifespan of the UPF rating. If protection seems significantly reduced, consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and resilient Kingsmill fabric suitable for tough environments.
  • Extensive storage with six well-placed pockets.
  • Reinforced construction for extended wear and tear resistance.
  • Offers good sun protection (40+ UPF).
  • Comfortable and secure closure system.

Cons

  • Specific to a 38 UK waist size, limiting immediate fit for others.
  • Material might be heavier for exceptionally hot climates compared to lighter fabrics.
  • Cargo pocket placement may vary in utility based on individual task needs.
  • Primarily designed for work, style might be too utilitarian for casual wear.
  • Pre-shrunk fabric means minimal shrinkage, but initial fit is crucial.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trousers require no complex setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. Compatibility is primarily with work boots and other protective workwear. To maintain the integrity and appearance of the Portwest Combat Trousers, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash warm at 40°C (104°F) with similar colours. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting. Remove promptly after drying.
  • Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting. Avoid ironing directly on any printed elements or closures.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve fabric integrity and colour.
