Work Trousers Buying Guide

There are many things to consider when buying work trousers and it is not just about choosing a brand; some brands cater better than others where size and fit are concerned, thankfully we are all unique. Our buying guides are made specifically to help our customers better understand the pros and cons of buying suitable workwear trousers.

Perhaps the most important place to start when buying work trousers is the trade in which you work, not all of our work trousers would be suitable for all trades e.g. high visibility trousers would not be suitable for nursing. We believe that your workwear should compliment your work perfectly this quick help guide should raise a few questions for you to consider.

Practicality Options

Tool pockets + additional pockets, with or without Knee pads, flexibility such as; crotch area, waist and contour fitting – baggy or tight, with or without a belt where a worker may use a tool belt for example, the temperature in which you work hot/cold or time of year summer/winter.

Size & Fitting

Do you require work trousers to allow extra freedom of movement such as; bending, kneeling or crouching, elasticated waist or with a belt preferred. As with many manufacturers some work trousers will be slightly different in sizing such as Dickies compared to say Snickers work trousers, Dickies work trousers are often a size to small so please do bare this in mind when purchasing this brand. Please ask for assistance if you are unsure.

Comfort & Price

Prioritise safety before comfort but that’s not to say you can’t have a happy medium, some workers prefer cotton based work trousers over the more modern fabrics such as Cordura. The benefit of Cordura is primarily strength and they tend to wear better and last longer so would in the long term provide better value for money. Price is always a consideration when buying anything so were you might be limited in choice on the high street you should be able to find a good selection here at Mammoth.

Trade Specific

If your work is general then many types of work trousers may be suitable but for those of you who work in areas such as; joinery, construction, farming & agriculture etc you may require trade specific clothing. Varying levels of protection are required under EU legislation and these should be adhered to in all instances. Look out for our EN specification symbols, these are a guide to the personal protective level given to each product alternatively speak to one of our sales team for more information.

Style & Uniformity

Style is often the least important part of buying work trousers; however it is also a major contributing factor in your final choice. In some cases workers may be required to wear uniforms where trousers would match jackets and/or company colours. Within our work trousers section you will come across many styles and colours to suit these needs, in many cases we also provide matching jackets this is noted in each product description if this option is available.
