Full details
The Fort 544 Knee Pad Bib 'n' Brace Overall is designed for professionals like painters, decorators, and plasterers, offering durable protection and comfort for demanding jobs.

Troubleshooting
Straps are uncomfortable or too loose/tight
Adjust the buckle and strap length to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the bib is positioned correctly on your torso.
Knee pads are not staying in place
Ensure you are using knee pads designed to fit securely within the pocket. Check that the pocket is not overloaded with other items.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes occur with polycotton blends. A low-heat tumble dry or a fabric softener during washing may help. Avoid over-drying.
Zipped pocket is difficult to open/close
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite can help lubricate the teeth if needed.
