FAQs
What is the material composition of the bib and brace?
The bib and brace is made from a 240gsm fabric consisting of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
Are knee pads included with this product?
No, knee pads are not included. They are designed to be inserted into the dedicated pockets and must be purchased separately.
How do I determine the correct size?
The sizing, such as '40W', typically refers to the waist measurement in inches. Consult a sizing chart if available or measure your waist to ensure a proper fit.
Can I wear this for jobs other than painting?
Yes, while designed for painters and decorators, its durable construction and knee-pad pockets make it suitable for various trades and DIY tasks requiring comfortable, protective workwear.
How should I wash the bib and brace to maintain its color?
Machine wash at a moderate temperature (up to 40°C) and avoid bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It can be ironed on a medium setting.
What is the benefit of the zipped front pocket?
The concealed zip pocket provides secure storage for small personal items or tools, preventing them from falling out during work.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps not staying adjusted
Ensure the buckles are fully engaged and not obstructed. If the straps continue to slip, check for any damage to the buckle mechanism.
Knee pad pockets not holding pads securely
Verify that the knee pads are the correct size and type for the pockets. Ensure they are inserted flat and fully into the pocket space.
Fabric showing stains easily
Wash the garment promptly after use according to care instructions. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a suitable fabric stain remover before washing.
