Product Information

Full details

The Fort 916 Workforce Straight Cut Work Trouser is designed for adults seeking durable, comfortable, and practical workwear. Its key benefit is providing a consistent, professional appearance for teams with features like knee-pad pockets and multiple leg lengths. A potential consideration is that the part-elasticated waist offers a flexible fit, but may not be suitable for those requiring a very precise, non-stretchy waistband.

FAQs

What material are the Fort 916 trousers made from?

They are made from a 245 gsm fabric blend consisting of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.

How do I choose the correct leg length?

The trousers are available in three lengths: Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33"). Measure your inside leg or compare to your current well-fitting trousers to select the best option.

Are the knee-pad pockets included with the trousers?

The trousers feature knee-pad pockets, but the knee pads themselves are typically sold separately. You will need to purchase compatible knee pads to use this feature.

Can these trousers be worn for casual use?

While designed for work, their comfortable fit and practical style make them suitable for casual wear, especially for outdoor activities where durability is a plus.

How should I wash these trousers?

They can be machine washed at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C) with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry, and iron on a medium setting if needed. Avoid bleach.

What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?

This means that only a portion of the waistband is elastic, typically the sides or back, while the front might have a more traditional fixed waistband with a closure. This provides some flexibility in fit without being fully elasticated.

Are these trousers waterproof?

No, the fabric blend is designed for durability and general work conditions, not for waterproofing. They are not suitable for use in heavy rain or wet environments.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight/loose at the waist.

Due to the part-elasticated waist, try adjusting your posture or ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The elastic provides some flexibility.

Knee pads do not fit securely.

Ensure you are using compatible knee pads designed for work trousers. The pocket size is standard, but specific pad dimensions may vary. Adjust the knee pad position for optimal coverage.

Fabric shows wear after a short period.

While durable, consider your specific work environment. For extremely abrasive tasks, additional protection or a heavier-duty trouser might be necessary. Review care instructions to ensure proper washing.
