Work Trousers: Everything You Want to Know

Good work trousers help you do your work during the working day. Good news, because today the trousers for working are very modern!

How are work trousers different from normal trousers?

Work trousers are made to work comfortably and safely, so no skinny jeans and bare ankles! Nowadays the modern professional finds it increasingly important that the trousers have a beautiful design and a tailored fit. So if we look at what makes work trousers different, there are basically five differences from normal trousers:

• Safety: During many activities you wear trousers for safety reasons. Consider, for example, road workers who wear reflective trousers or welders who wear flame-resistant trousers.

Modern work trousers are made comfortable by offering plenty of storage options and freedom of movement. You see more and more 4-way stretch pants that are not inferior to sweatpants in terms of comfort
• Design: Work trousers often have many pockets to store your tools. There is a handy folding ruler pocket, a hammer loop to hang your hammer in, or an extra pocket on the thigh. Do you have more to store? You can also attach swing pockets to the pants.
• Quality: work trousers have a high quality that promotes the lifespan of the trousers. This includes the use of cotton, (recycled) polyester and elastane, but also the extra wear-resistant fabric Cordura®.
• Fit: the size range in work trousers goes beyond the usual fashion sizes. At Tricorp we offer standard, short and length sizes in the size range 21 to 66 and for trousers 24 to 110!
