FAQs

What material are the Portwest Combat Trousers made from?

The trousers are made from a rugged, pre-shrunk Kingsmill fabric, which is primarily polyester, offering durability and resistance to wear.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

The Portwest Combat Trousers feature a total of six pockets, including two back patch pockets, side pockets, and easily accessible cargo pockets.

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

Yes, the fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which blocks 98% of UV radiation, making them suitable for outdoor work in sunny conditions. The material is designed for durability, but breathability is a consideration for very high temperatures.

What does 'pre-shrunk' mean for this garment?

Pre-shrunk fabric has undergone a manufacturing process to reduce shrinkage after washing. While this minimizes shrinkage, some minimal change in size is still possible over time with repeated washing and drying.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing guide, paying close attention to the 'Size Mens Waist UK' measurement. The specific size for this product variant is 40.

What is UPF rating?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A 40+ UPF rating means the fabric will block at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering significant sun protection.

Can I machine wash these trousers?

Yes, you can machine wash them at 40°C (104°F) with similar colors. Avoid bleaching and tumble dry on low heat.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or too loose.

Refer to the size chart provided by Portwest for accurate measurements. Consider trying a different size if the current fit is uncomfortable. Note that the UK waist size is listed as '40'.

Stitching appears to be coming undone.

Inspect the area; if it's a stress point, ensure it's properly bartacked. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If significant stitching failure occurs, contact customer support as it may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This is common with durable fabrics. Ensure you are using the recommended wash temperature and drying settings. Fabric softener can be used sparingly, but may slightly reduce the fabric's inherent durability over time. Air drying can also help maintain fabric structure.
