FAQs

What material are the Fort 916 trousers made from?

They are made from a durable blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with a fabric weight of 245 gsm.

Are knee pads included with the trousers?

No, knee pads are not included but can be purchased separately and inserted into the designated knee pad pockets.

How do I choose the right leg length?

The trousers are available in three leg lengths: Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33"). Measure your inside leg or compare with a well-fitting pair of trousers to choose the best fit.

Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?

The polyester-cotton blend offers durability. While they are machine washable and generally comfortable, they may not be as breathable as 100% cotton trousers in extreme heat.

What is the washing and care process?

They are machine washable (recommended at 40°C), can be tumble dried on low heat, and ironed on a medium setting. Avoid bleaching.

What sizes are available?

These trousers are available in waist sizes ranging from 28 inches to 48 inches.

Do the trousers have a fully elasticated waist?

No, they feature a part-elasticated waist for a comfortable and secure fit, combined with a traditional button and zip closure.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or too loose at the waist.

Ensure you have selected the correct waist size based on the size guide. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but accurate initial sizing is key. Consider using a belt with the wide belt loops for a more secure fit.

Leg length is not quite right.

These trousers come in three leg lengths (Short, Regular, Long). If the initial choice was incorrect, consider reordering in the appropriate length. Hemming may be an option for minor adjustments.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This is normal for a durable workwear fabric blend. Use a fabric softener if desired during washing, or simply wear them; they will soften with use and subsequent washes.

Knee pad pockets feel uncomfortable.

Ensure you are using knee pads designed for work trousers and that they are inserted correctly. The fit of the knee pad itself can affect comfort; try different types if possible.
