Product Information
Full details
The Scruffs Trade Flex Trouser in Graphite is designed for adult males requiring durable, comfortable workwear with ample storage. Its key benefit lies in the blend of cotton twill with stretch for flexibility and CORDURA knee pockets for superior abrasion resistance, alongside numerous specialized pockets. A potential caveat is the fabric composition, which includes polyester, meaning it may not be as breathable as 100% cotton in very hot conditions.

FAQs

They are made from a blend of 81% polyester and 19% cotton, with CORDURA fabric for the knee pockets. The fabric weight is 250gsm.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
While they offer some breathability due to the cotton content, the blend includes polyester, which may be less breathable than 100% cotton in very high temperatures. They are best suited for moderate to cooler conditions or jobs requiring significant kneeling.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Scruffs, paying close attention to the UK men's waist measurement. The trousers are designed with stretch for a flexible fit, but correct initial sizing is key.
Can I use my own knee pads with these trousers?
Yes, the trousers feature top-loading CORDURA knee pockets designed to hold standard knee pads. Ensure your knee pads are compatible in size.
What types of pockets are included?
They include holster pockets, cargo pockets, a rule pocket, a mobile phone pocket, secure zipped pockets, a hammer loop, and tool loops.
How should I clean and maintain the trousers?
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a medium setting. Do not dry clean.
What is the fabric weight?
The fabric weight is 250gsm, indicating a substantial and durable material.
Troubleshooting
Seam splitting after minimal use.
Ensure the garment has not been overstressed beyond its intended use. Check washing instructions and ensure the correct cycle was used. If persistent, contact customer support.
Pockets feel too small for specific tools.
Verify the type of tool you are trying to store against the pocket's intended use (e.g., mobile phone pocket, rule pocket). Consider using a separate tool belt for larger items.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with durable fabrics. Ensure you are using a low heat setting for tumble drying and consider ironing on a medium setting as per care instructions.
