Frequently Asked Questions

What size workwear should I order?

Always refer to the manufacturer's size guide provided on each product page. Workwear sizing can vary between brands, so check chest, waist and inside leg measurements. Consider ordering one size up if you plan to wear multiple layers underneath, particularly for winter working conditions.

How do I care for my workwear to extend its life?

Follow the care label instructions carefully. Most workwear benefits from regular washing at 40°C, avoiding fabric softeners which can reduce water-resistance. Close all fastenings before washing, and repair small tears promptly to prevent further damage. Allow garments to air dry when possible to maintain fabric integrity.

Do you offer high-visibility workwear options?

Yes, many items within our men's workwear range include high-visibility options with reflective strips and fluorescent colours meeting EN ISO 20471 standards, essential for construction sites, roadside work and low-light environments.
