FAQs
What material are the Fort 916 Workforce Trousers made from?
They are made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245gsm.
Are knee pads included with the trousers?
No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature knee-pad pockets designed to hold standard work knee pads, which must be purchased separately.
What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?
This means that only a section of the waistband, typically the back, is elasticated. This provides a more comfortable and adaptable fit compared to a fully elasticated or non-elasticated waist.
How do I choose the correct leg length?
The trousers are available in Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33") leg lengths. It is recommended to measure your inside leg or compare with existing trousers for the best fit.
Can these trousers be worn by women?
While designed primarily for men, the unisex sizing and comfortable fit may make them suitable for women depending on their measurements. Please check the size guide carefully.
What is the best way to wash these trousers?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Iron on a medium heat.
What trades are these trousers suitable for?
They are suitable for a wide range of trade workers including builders, carpenters, painters & decorators, plumbers, electricians, and engineers.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight in the waist.
The part-elasticated waist provides some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. For additional comfort, consider pairing with a belt.
Knee pads do not stay in place.
Ensure you are using knee pads compatible with the pocket size. Some knee pads may require adjustment or securing straps to fit snugly within the dedicated pockets.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This is normal for durable poly/cotton blends. The fabric will soften with continued wear and washing. Ironing on a medium setting can help reduce stiffness.
