Work Trousers and Shorts
If your job places a lot of physical demands on you, it also places a lot of demands on your clothing. Our work trousers and shorts are tough enough and comfortable enough to meet those demands - and even make them a little easier for you to meet too.
Made from durable fabrics with reinforced seams and cut to allow for easy movement without creating bulk, they are a key part of our workwear range.
Trousers Made To Last
Regular bobbing up and down, crawling and kneeling take a heavy toll on your trousers. Friction wears the fabric from both sides, while seams are left straining under the stress of constant movement. All our workwear trousers don’t just rely on tough polycotton fabrics to stay durable, they also have features like reinforced knees and triple stitched seams to make sure they can take the strain.
Coupled with strategically placed stretch panels that move with you, they’re engineered for repetitive movements to ensure they survive long days without wearing holes or stitches coming loose.
Cargo Trousers That Keep Your Tools At Hand
When you’re working with tools, complicated tasks are easier when you have everything you need to hand. Our workwear cargo trousers are covered in pockets of various sizes, as well as loops and straps, so you can keep all your tools within reach at all times.
Site Work Shorts
On scorching summer days even the most breathable trousers can be too much. Our range of site work shorts will let your legs grasp whatever wind there is and help you stay cool even on the hottest days.
With the same practical features as our trousers such as multiple pockets, ripstop fabrics, and stretch panels, they don’t swap functionality for comfort.You get both.
