FAQs
What material are the Dickies EH26801 trousers made from?
They are made from a 300gsm blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton canvas.
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature Cordura® knee pad pockets designed to accommodate standard knee pads, which must be purchased separately.
How should I wash these trousers?
You can machine wash them at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) and tumble dry on a medium heat setting. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning.
What does Cordura® reinforcement mean for durability?
Cordura® fabric is known for its exceptional resistance to abrasion, tears, and scuffs. Reinforcing key areas like the knee pad pockets and hem guards significantly increases the lifespan of the trousers in demanding environments.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to check the Dickies sizing chart and measure your waist and inseam accurately before purchasing. The elasticated waistband offers some adjustment, but a proper initial fit is crucial for comfort.
Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?
The 300gsm fabric blend provides durability but can feel warm in very hot conditions compared to lighter materials. They are designed for general workwear, offering a balance of breathability and toughness.
What types of pockets are available?
The trousers feature holster pockets, hip pockets, back pockets, a cargo pocket, a hammer loop, a rule pocket, and Cordura® knee pad pockets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Seams feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elasticated waistband provides some flexibility, but if the fit is generally too tight, consider a size up. Wear the trousers for a short period to allow the fabric to break in slightly.
Cordura® areas showing signs of wear
While Cordura® is highly durable, extreme abrasion can eventually cause wear. Ensure knee pads are correctly fitted within the pockets to provide the primary protection layer. Follow recommended washing and drying procedures to maintain fabric integrity.
Pockets seem too large or too small for specific tools
These trousers offer a wide variety of pocket sizes. Refer to the key features section for the intended use of each pocket type. For unusually sized tools, consider using a separate tool pouch or holster.
