Where to buy work pants?

Employer expectations, health, safety and personal preferences have resulted in a workwear revolution, and major workwear and safety specialists are onboard with changes that improve working conditions. Work pants are a major part of the equation, with men’s work pants and work pants for women incorporating innovative features, durable materials and superior manufacturing processes.

Here are just a few special built-in features of various types of work pants designed for performance, durability and years of comfortable wearing;

• Durable triple stitched main seams plus taped seams that hold pants in shape
• Heavy duty zipper designed to withstand dirt, grime and repeated use
• Wide belt loops, fortified belt loops and extra belt loops to accommodate work tools
• Reflective Hi-Vis tape work pants for builders, road crews and other workers
• Durable water repellent (DWR) work pants for comfort even in bad weather
• Wind-blocking technology for warmth and comfort while exposed to cold conditions
• Metal rivets for reinforced work pant seams
• Bartacks (extra stitches) that reinforce work pant seams
• Work pants with knee pads to protect your body and the garment 

How many work pants should I own?

You should own at least 2 pairs of occupation-specific work pants. Appropriate cleaning and storage of work pants will increase their lifespan, and by owning 2 pairs you will always look your best on the job. In addition, many workers are multi-taskers requiring several styles of work pants for tailored work performance.

RSEA Safety have all angles covered in our extensive workwear pants range. We partner with name-brand workwear manufacturers such as Carhartt, CAT, ELEVEN Workwear and FXD so you can have confidence in the product you purchase. Here are a few more considerations before choosing the best work pants for you or your team;

Work Pant Fit

There are three main types of fit for work pants. We are all built differently, so RSEA Safety supplies classic, relaxed and slim styles. Classic fit work pants are the middle-ground style for the average sized worker. Relaxed fit work pants offer additional room in the seat and thigh area. Slim fit work pants are modern style with slimmer leg, although not tight. Slim fit work pants can include special leg openings that fit over work boots.

Work Pant Fabric

The majority of hard-wearing work pants are manufactured using cotton duck or denim. Cotton duck has no relation to actual ducks, stemming from the Dutch word ‘doek’, a linen canvas previously used to manufacture sailor’s apparel. Here is a quick overview of denim and cotton duck/canvas work pants.

Denim

• More comfortable over time with repeated washing and wearing
• Generally thicker than fashion jeans or street wear
• Can be fleece or flannel-lined for locking in warmth

Cotton Duck / Canvas

• Less likely to tear or snag due to the smooth material surface
• Performs well in high heat situations (although not inherently flame resistant)
• Become more comfortable with repeated washing and wearing
• Excellent wind blocking properties

In addition, the RSEA Safety work pant collection includes water and wind-resistant nylon and polyester rain pants. Features of genuine rain pants with maximum protection include waterproof (5,000mm), breathable (3,000mvp) and UPF 50+ performance. For even more comfort and safety, quality rain pants from RSEA Safety can be fully seam-sealed with zippered leg gussets, PU performance backing and unisex style.

Where to buy cargo pants?

You have come to the right place at RSEA Safety. Workwear cargo pants are a cut above no-name brands that don’t improve work performance. RSEA Safety workwear cargo pants are among the best in the business and here are a couple of options from the prestigious ELEVEN Workwear brand, exclusive to RSEA Safety;

Super Easy Lightweight Cargo Pant: At only 190gsm, these pants are lightweight, comfortable and ideal for Australian conditions. These pants have reinforced knees, pockets and pant seat, and are available in a range of colours for different occupations. Features include comfortable stretchability, double layer knee, reinforced belt loop and triple stitched centre back seam. The lightweight secret is courtesy of polyester, cotton and elastane canvas materials.

Fusion Cargo Pant: Hybrid fabric and innovative construction make these pants hard-wearing on the outside and comfortable on the inside. These pants are a winter workwear favourite with features that include multiple cargo pockets, stretch fabric, contoured knee with double layer, triple-stitched centre back seam and reinforced belt loop. These are ideal carpenters pants suitable for anyone who needs to carry a variety of tools.

Where to buy painter’s pants?

Painters clothing may appear neglected to the untrained eye, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Painters spend the working day bending, stretching and crouching, and they require pants that can adapt. Cotton drill fabrics are popular with painters, while painter’s pant functionality is improved thanks to deeper rule pockets, dual tool pockets, hammer loops and triple stitched seams that resist fraying.

How to stretch work pants?

Your weight may fluctuate from time to time, making your favourite work pants less comfortable. However, there are a few tips and tricks to use for stretching work pants to accommodate weight increase;

• Cold wash only. Even warm water will cause cotton or denim to shrink
• Remove pants from the washing machine as soon as the wash cycle is complete
• While hanging pants on the line, take a moment to stretch out the waistline and legs
• When half dry, place pants on the ground, hold the waist with your foot and pull the other side of the waist up toward you - flip the pants over and work the other side
• While the pants remain a little damp, put them on and do some bending and stretching to work the material a little looser
• Never put the pants in a dryer (even on cool) - they will shrink!

Functionality and performance are stand-out features of dedicated work pants. It is also important to go with a colour and cut that suits your style and occupation.
