Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my trouser size?
Your trouser size is usually determined by your waist measurement and your inseam. Measure your waist just above your hips and your inseam from the crotch to your ankle. These measurements are often given in inches, such as 34/32 (waist/length). Note that sizes can vary slightly between brands, so always consult the brand's size chart. When in doubt, it's better to choose a slightly larger size, especially for work trousers.
How do I measure the length of work trousers?
The length measurement is based on the inseam, measured from the crotch to the bottom of the leg. Stand upright and use a measuring tape, running it snugly but not too tight along your inner leg. It helps to have someone help you with this for an accurate measurement. Length measurements are often given in centimeters or as standard sizes (short, regular, long). Choose a length where the pants rest just on your shoes, without wrinkling or being too short.
How often should you wash work trousers?
Ideally, you should wash your work trousers weekly, but more frequent washing is necessary for intensive work or visible soiling. Waiting too long before washing can accelerate wear and tear due to dirt, oil, or sweat. Make sure you follow the washing instructions to extend the life of your trousers. Specific washing instructions often apply for chemical work or contact with hazardous substances. Spare trousers are handy so you don't have to constantly pressure wash.
How long do work trousers last?
This depends heavily on the type of work, the quality of the trousers, and their maintenance. With light use in a clean environment, work trousers can last for years. For heavy-duty construction or industrial work, a lifespan of 6 to 12 months is typical. Regular washing, repairing minor damage, and following the washing instructions will extend their lifespan. Brands with reinforced knees or triple seams often offer extra durability.
What is an explainable zoom?
A fold-out hem means there's extra fabric inside the trouser leg. This allows you to easily lengthen the trousers by a few centimeters without having to buy a whole new pair. This is ideal for people between two height sizes or for young people who are still growing. It's also useful for clothing for multiple wearers or workwear. Lengthening is often done with a simple seam adjustment.
