FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 'industrial wash' feature?

The industrial wash feature means the bib and brace is specifically constructed with materials and stitching that can withstand repeated high-temperature washing and tumble drying cycles commonly found in commercial laundries, ensuring it retains its shape, color, and durability.

Can I adjust the length of the legs?

Yes, the bib and brace features an adjustable hem, allowing you to customize the leg length for a better fit.

How many pockets are there, and what types are included?

There are 9 pockets in total: 1 chest pocket with concealed press stud, 2 side pockets, 2 back pockets (one open, one flapped), 2 thigh pockets, and 1 phone pocket.

Are knee pads included with the bib and brace?

No, knee pads are not included. They are sold separately and can be inserted into the bottom-loading knee pad pockets.

What material is the bib and brace made from?

The shell fabric is Titanmill Plus Stretch, a blend of 65% Polyester, 33% Cotton, and 2% Elastane, weighing 245g.

Is this bib and brace suitable for women?

While the product description specifies 'Unisex' and 'Male' in variants, the design with adjustable straps and leg length offers a degree of adaptability. However, it is primarily designed with a standard workwear fit that may be more suited to male proportions.

What is the best way to care for this garment to ensure longevity?

Machine wash at 60°C, tumble dry on medium heat. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning. Iron on a medium setting. Washing dark colors separately and closing all fastenings before washing will also help maintain its condition.

Troubleshooting

Bib and brace feels too tight or loose

Adjust the shoulder straps and the side fastening points for a more secure and comfortable fit. Check the leg length adjustment for optimal fit.

Pockets not secure enough for small items

Utilize the dedicated phone pocket or the back pocket with a flap for smaller items. For tools, ensure they are placed appropriately within the thigh or side pockets.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying temperatures. Tumble drying on a medium setting can help soften the fabric. Avoid over-drying. Ironing on a medium heat can also restore fabric feel.

Knee pads do not stay in place

Ensure you are using compatible knee pads designed for bottom-loading pockets. Check that the knee pad is fully inserted and sits correctly within the pocket structure.
