If you are a construction worker, mechanic, carpenter or any kind of a craftsman, you need to have proper work clothing and footwear so you can be protected and comfortable all the time during your working hours. When it comes to choosing the proper working clothes, people usually put the durability factor on top of the list of features. However, that doesn't mean that they can't be stylish as well. When you need to buy a pair of work bottoms there are several things to consider before buying. Here are all the features to look for so you can find the perfect pair for you. First, the material. There are different kinds of fabrics the work bottoms can be made of. Usually, they need to be extra-rugged but comfortable. This is achieved by the most popular fabric for work bottoms, the cotton duck. It is a very durable woven canvas. Work bottoms are usually made in tan, khaki and shades of brown and green colour as these colours hide the dirt perfectly. It has a smooth surface which is not prone to tearing. It can also block the wind and doesn't melt when it is exposed to high heat. Additionally, it is easy to clean, as it doesn't require any special laundering. Even though it is a bit uncomfortable due to its thickness at first, the longer you wear it, the more comfortable it becomes.
Denim is another fabric which is most commonly associated with blue working jeans and jean jackets. It is a rugged cotton twill fabric which provides excellent comfort and is also popular in non-work settings. It is not as durable as the cotton duck but is more comfortable. Flannel is also a popular choice for work bottoms. It is a light or medium-weight woven cloth that is almost always 100% cotton. It has also got a soft surface and is frequently used for working outdoors in colder conditions, in chilly autumns and winters for instance. Another practical feature of the fabric are the insulated linings which are necessary for working in cold, windy and snowy winter conditions. The linings are usually made of soft cotton or wool that provide warmth. Furthermore, water repellency and waterproofing are factors which are essential if you work out in the rain or snow. When it comes to the features the work bottoms should have, there are some that make the bottoms practical to use. Thus, heavy-duty workwear zippers are a good idea as they are designed to hold up longer under tougher work conditions. Then, plenty of pockets are also a good idea as you need your hands free to tackle all kinds of tasks, so keeping tools and gear in the pockets will surely make it easier for you. Another key feature is the side elastication which allows you to have an extra "breathing space" providing you with an extra level of comfort. Last, but not least, are the double knees with "clean-out bottoms" specially designed to clean out debris. Comments are closed.
