What are the available leg lengths?

How do I choose the correct size?
Sizes are listed by UK men's waist measurement. Please refer to a standard size chart or measure your waist to determine the best fit. The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustment.
Can these trousers be washed in a machine?

What colours are available?
While this specific guide is for the Blue variant, the Fort 916 Workforce trousers are also available in Black.
What kind of work are these trousers best suited for?
They are designed as work trousers, ideal for tradespeople, construction, warehouse staff, or any job requiring durable, comfortable workwear with practical features like knee pad pockets.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight/loose at the waist.
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. Ensure the correct size was selected. For minor looseness, a belt can be used with the wide belt loops.
Knee pad pockets do not fit purchased knee pads.
Ensure the knee pads are of standard dimensions. Check the pocket opening size and compare it with the knee pad specifications.
Fabric shows signs of wear after a short period.
Review washing instructions to ensure they are being followed. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat during washing and drying, which can degrade fabric over time.
Stitching is coming undone.
Inspect the garment for any defects upon arrival. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. For significant seam issues, consider a repair or contact the manufacturer.
