Product Information
Full details
The Fort 916 Workforce Trouser in Navy Blue (44R) is designed for adults seeking durable and comfortable workwear. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, easily washable option for teams that need to maintain a professional appearance, featuring a part-elasticated waist and knee-pad pockets for enhanced comfort and protection. A potential caveat is the fixed leg length of 31" Regular, which may require tailoring for some individuals.

FAQs
What material are the Fort 916 Workforce Trousers made from?
They are made from a durable blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245gsm.
How do I choose the correct leg length?
The trousers are available in Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33") leg lengths. Measure your inside leg or refer to a size guide to select the best fit for your height.
Can I insert knee pads into these trousers?
Yes, these trousers feature integrated knee-pad pockets designed to hold standard workwear knee pads for added protection.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather work?
The poly/cotton blend offers reasonable comfort. For extremely hot conditions, specialized breathable workwear fabrics might be more suitable, but these trousers are designed for general durability and comfort.
What is the benefit of the part-elasticated waist?
The part-elasticated waist provides a more flexible and comfortable fit compared to a standard non-elasticated waistband, allowing for better movement and comfort throughout the workday.
How should I wash and care for these trousers?
They are machine washable at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C) with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a medium setting if needed. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning.
What does the '44R' in the product name signify?
The '44' refers to the waist size in UK/US sizing (44 inches), and 'R' refers to the Regular leg length, which is 31 inches.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or loose at the waist.
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a different size or exploring if the product is available in a size with a different waist measurement. For minor adjustments, a belt can be used.
Knee pads do not fit securely.
Ensure you are using knee pads designed for work trousers with pockets. The fit may vary slightly depending on the brand of knee pads used. Check the dimensions of the pocket and the pads.
Fabric shows signs of wear prematurely.
Review care instructions to ensure proper washing and drying methods are being followed. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat. For demanding jobs, consider if the task exceeds the intended durability of the fabric.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant can help smooth the zipper action. Avoid forcing the zipper.
