WHAT AFFECTS THE LIFESPAN OF WORK TROUSERS?

Work trousers are an investment, and how long they last depends on the material, how they are used and how well they are cared for. Here are the key factors that affect their durability.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT LIFESPAN

  • Material: Trousers made from CORDURA®-reinforced fabric or other hardwearing materials generally last longer.
  • Use: Regular use in demanding environments causes more wear than lighter work tasks.
  • Care: Clean, inspect and repair your trousers regularly to extend their service life.

TIPS TO MAKE YOUR WORK TROUSERS LAST LONGER

  • The better you look after your work trousers, the longer they will last. If you can use your trousers twice as long, you can significantly reduce their environmental impact. That is well worth remembering.
  • Wash your work trousers regularly and follow the care instructions. It will help them keep their shape, function and durability for longer.
  • Choose the right size. The more carefully you try on your work trousers before buying them, the longer they are likely to last. A good fit reduces unnecessary wear, improves comfort and makes you more likely to keep wearing them.
  • Choose quality. At Blåkläder, we offer a lifetime warranty on seams. If a seam fails before the rest of the garment is worn out, we will repair or replace the trousers.
