FAQs
What is the primary material of these trousers?
The trousers are made from a 245 gsm blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, offering a balance of durability and comfort.
Are these trousers suitable for very heavy-duty industrial work?
These trousers are designed for general work and offer good durability. For extremely heavy-duty industrial environments, specialized reinforced workwear might be more appropriate.
How do I choose the correct leg length?
The trousers are available in three leg lengths: Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33"). Measure your inside leg (inseam) to determine the best fit.
Can I insert knee pads into these trousers?
Yes, these trousers feature dedicated knee pad pockets designed to hold standard protective knee pads.
How should I care for these work trousers?
They are machine washable, ideally at 40°C. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on medium heat. Avoid using bleach.
What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?
It means that only a portion of the waistband is elasticated, typically the back section, providing a more secure and comfortable fit without being fully elastic.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, the fabric blend is not waterproof, but it can offer some resistance to light moisture and dries relatively quickly.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or too loose at the waist.
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but if it's significantly off, consider a different size or a belt.
Knee pads do not stay in place.
Ensure you are using knee pads designed to fit within the trouser pockets. For some tasks, repositioning or using slightly larger pads might help.
Fabric appears worn after several washes.
Follow the recommended care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat drying and excessive bleaching, as these can degrade the fabric faster.
Seams feel strained during movement.
While designed for work, extremely strenuous activity might strain seams. Ensure the correct size is worn to allow for adequate movement. For heavy-duty tasks, consider specialized reinforced workwear.
