Product Information
Full details
The Portwest WX3 Work Trouser in Metal Grey Short is designed for adult males seeking durable, comfortable, and functional workwear with a shorter leg length. Its key benefit lies in the blend of premium poly-cotton canvas, enhanced flexibility through stretch panelling, and practical storage, ensuring professionals can move and work effectively. A potential caveat is the need to pair with specific knee pads (S156) to meet EN 14404 standards.

FAQs
What material are these trousers made from?
The Portwest WX3 Work Trousers are crafted from a premium poly-cotton canvas fabric, offering a durable yet comfortable wear.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
These trousers are equipped with a total of 8 pockets, including a dedicated rule pocket for convenient storage.
Are these trousers suitable for kneeling work?
Yes, they are designed with enhanced flexibility and an ergonomic cut. For full EN 14404 compliance and optimal knee protection, they must be used with Portwest S156 knee pads.
What does 'Short' in the product name refer to?
'Short' refers to the leg length. This variant is designed for individuals who typically require a shorter inseam compared to standard sizing.
How should I care for these work trousers?
You can machine wash them at 40°C, avoid bleaching, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a medium temperature. Do not dry clean.
What is the benefit of the triple-stitched seams?
Triple-stitched seams are used in high-stress areas to significantly enhance durability and prevent the trousers from tearing during rigorous work activities.
Can I adjust the length of the trousers?
Yes, the trousers feature an adjustable hem, allowing you to fine-tune the length for a customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the stretch panelling is positioned correctly according to your body's natural movement during tasks.
Seams appear to be straining or showing signs of wear.
Inspect the triple-stitched seams; if they are fraying, consider reinforcing them or evaluating if the workload exceeds the trousers' intended durability. Ensure the crotch gusset is not under excessive tension.
Pockets are not holding tools securely.
Ensure tools are placed correctly within the intended pockets. For smaller items, consider using a tool pouch or organizer. The design prioritizes accessibility over absolute retention for very small items.
Inconsistent leg length after washing.
Verify the adjustable hem is secured properly after each wash. Tumble drying on low heat and ironing at the recommended temperature can help maintain fabric shape.
