The Fort 916 Workforce Trousers are designed for adult male tradespeople seeking durable, comfortable, and practical workwear. The key benefit is their robust construction and thoughtful features like knee-pad pockets and a part-elasticated waist, ensuring comfort throughout long workdays. A potential consideration is the fixed leg length and the availability of only two color options.

Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight around the waist
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. Ensure you selected the correct waist size. The trousers are designed to loosen slightly with wear.
Knee pads do not fit securely
Ensure you are using compatible knee pads that fit within the designated pockets. Adjustments may be needed based on the specific knee pad design.
Fabric appears worn after several washes
Follow the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid abrasive washing or excessive heat.
Pockets feel too small for specific tools
The cargo pockets are designed for general trade tools. For larger items, consider using a separate tool belt or bag.
