Product Information
Full details
The Fort 916 Workforce Trouser in Black, size 48S, is designed for adult male tradespeople seeking durable and comfortable workwear. Its key benefit is the robust construction with practical features like knee pad pockets and a part-elasticated waist, ensuring comfort and protection throughout the workday. A potential caveat is the fixed leg length for this specific size, so ensuring the 29" Short, 31" Regular, or 33" Long options align with your needs is important. These trousers offer a straight-legged, cargo style, ideal for trades like construction, carpentry, and maintenance.

Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or uncomfortable at the waist.
The part-elasticated waist is designed for comfort. Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. If the fit is still too restrictive, consider trying a size up or exploring models with a fully elasticated waist.
Knee pads do not stay in place.
Ensure you are using knee pads compatible with the pocket size. Check that the knee pads are inserted correctly and that the trouser fabric around the pocket is not overly stretched or worn.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This is common with poly-cotton blends. Ensure you are using the recommended washing temperature and consider tumble drying on a low heat setting. Avoid harsh detergents.
Seams appear to be weakening.
While designed with double stitching in key areas, excessive force or improper care can stress seams. Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and drying temperatures.
