Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose at the waist
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size based on the provided sizing chart. For minor adjustments, a belt can be used.
Knee pad pockets not fitting correctly
Ensure you are using knee pads designed for work trousers and that they are inserted correctly into the dedicated pockets. Standard-sized knee pads are generally compatible.
Fabric showing wear after a short period
Review the care instructions to ensure proper washing and drying methods are being used. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can degrade fabric over time. Consider if the garment is being used for tasks beyond its intended durability.
Colour fading
Wash inside out with similar colours and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use mild detergents.
