How do you check quality of workwear?

It's quite an expansive area to explore; first it depends on what you are looking for from the work wear and how much you want to spend. The rule of thumb is; if your life depends on the work wear then DO NOT cut corners, we are met with horror stories of toes missing from choosing the wrong work boots. To keep this simple you do get what you pay for regarding work wear so bare that in mind. Good durable work wear should have triple stitched seams to increase the toughness and durability of the garment if it is not triple stitched expect the seams to start wearing quicker especially in the crotch and at the hems.

How effective does the work wear perform in retaining heat and reducing heat loss. A lot of brands proclaim to be the best but often seldom excel. Look for little details like the tail length on the jackets or shirts which will restrict flesh exposure when working and stretching.


How heavy is the fabric, heavy means harder wearing typically especially in traditional fabrics (Cotton and Duck) but the new fabric being developed reduces the weight of the product without cutting back on performance.

Look at the fabric that the work wear is made from. Great fabrics are cotton, favoured by KINGLONG Work wear. Cordura is incredibly tough and is usually found covering the knee areas and possibly the crotch. Tencel is a derivative of Eucalyptus leaves and as such is tougher than cotton and more eco-friendly. Cotton blends with polyester and other poly-cotton blends are the usual fabrics chosen.
