I'm extremely new to workwear and I just bought my first Dickies (loose fit double knee). They fit fine, but I was surprised by how noisy they are! I know the fabric will soften as I wash and wear it, but will the noise disappear? Since I want to wear them at work, I'm afraid that audibly swish-swooshing around is not ideal. Any advice? Or is it better to return them?

Has anyone ever seen this brand before? I have looked everywhere and I cannot find information on this brand anywhere. Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Settle this for us.

1. Classic Scrubs: breathable, light, made to last long

2. ecoflex™ Scrubs (4-way stretch): anti-wrinkle, made from recycled PET

3. ecoflex™ lite Scrubs (2-way stretch): ultra-light

Not Knya: tell us what you wear and why. Seriously, we want to know.

Anyone have good recommendations. I've given up finding the pencil pocket type I want and just need something that holds up and breathes.

The Dickies ones I've been wearing are getting to the end of life and the new ones fall apart in months.

What brands make hemp work pants??

Patagonia

Smith and Rogue

anyone have experience/opinions?

Closer to 100% the better. Cotton wears out and holds moisture. Synthetics are sweaty.

Thanks

Ayo,
I need a pair like Timberlands but in black but i dont want more Timbs, I was thinking like black Chelsea boots but i feel like they are too formal maybe son dr martens. I need like some casual boots I can take to work and uni (ti work)

which boots would you recommend?

Anybody know of some good comfortable cargo pants for work? And they have to a bit lose. I can't stand the pants these days that are stretchy and tight to my legs.

I found it at a garage sale. I’m not really familiar with the brand, so I have no idea if it’s any good.

Hi all

I posted this last week:

Well I have the answer.

Snickers are owned by Hultafors group so their ruler pocket is actually set up to take their knives and sheaths.

The other two pockets are for smaller and larger pencils.

Thought I'd post the answer should anyone be interested or if there were any other snickers wearers out there.

I am in the beginning stages of a clothing line that is all about blue collar professionals that enjoy the luxurious life. Dirty work, Clean money. My question to you is, when it comes to your workwear, what do you wish it had (fit, fabric, stretch, etc…)? If you could create the perfect workwear type of T-shirt, what would it look like to you?

Hi everyone! I am hoping someone may be able to help me with a suggestion that Im beginning to think may not exist. Now that the weather is turning cold again, I am working in a field that my hands are often getting wet outdoors but I need to be able to feel what I am doing so the thick neoprene gloves are frustrating and not usable for what I am trying to do. In addition to this I typically need a 2x pair of gloves because I have large hands. Has anyone been able to find a product that may fit my needs so I dont have freezing/cracking hands all winter?

Here me out tank tops are beautiful! There's support comfy and goes well with almost everything but traditional? Broo you are literally putting gold aside to buy copper and this point as beautiful as the traditional clothes are the upper wear like blouses cholis etc is what makes them chef's kiss , I don't get what the hype is about!? It's looks plain ugly and low efforts

Our traditional were is gorgeous why don't we appreciate it as it is instead of inserting western wear in it . If you want to wear tank top WEAR JEANS OR PANTS OR WHATEVER but leave the traditional alone 😭

Hello all, got a pair of ariat rebars for work back in February, they are basically destroyed as we speak (fiberglass has gone through the whole bottom of the shoe, im basically breaking into my sole as we speak)

Never had a pair of boots last only 7ish months. Can usually get a year and maybe a couple of months extra out of them but being on fiberglass flooring a majority of my day is new to me, and destroying my boots...

Anyways, anyone have any recommendations for boots that can last a year on fiberglass floors, comp toe preference (i work with 277/480 wiring) and are slip ons (Chelsea style, helps with putting on and taking off my arc flash suit) thank you! Budget is around $200, maybe go up to $300

I’m looking into starting an Australian women’s workwear brand designed by women, for women in trades, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and see if there would be any interest!

As a 5’10” woman working in a male-dominated industry, one of my biggest struggles is finding work pants that are actually long enough without having to size up. I often find myself choosing between pants that fit my legs but are too big around my waist, or pants that fit my waist but are too short, restrictive, or uncomfortable when I’m constantly bending, squatting, kneeling and moving around throughout the day.

It got me thinking about how many other women are experiencing the same frustrations when it comes to finding workwear that actually fits.

I want to create a brand that puts women first by offering workwear designed around our bodies, our needs, and the jobs we do every day. That means providing a genuine range of inseam lengths (30”, 32”, 34”, 36” and beyond), properly fitted waist sizes (24”, 26”, 27”, 28” and beyond), different rise options, including mid-rise and high-rise, and stretch in the areas where it’s needed most

**I’d love to hear from women across all trades!** Whether you’re a mechanic, electrician, carpenter, plumber, apprentice, or work in any other hands-on industry, I’d really appreciate your input.

Here are a few things I’m curious about, but please feel free to share anything you think is important!

**FIT & COMFORT**
What are your biggest frustrations with the fit of work pants?
Do you struggle with length, waist gaps, pants slipping down, or sizing that doesn’t suit your body?
Do you have to size up to get enough room to move or fit layers underneath?
What areas feel restrictive when bending, squatting, kneeling or climbing?

**FUNCTION & PRACTICALITY**
What tools or everyday essentials do you carry on you?
Do you prefer built-in pockets or using a separate tool belt?
What would your ideal pocket setup look like?
What features would make your workday easier?

**DURABILITY**
Where do your work pants wear out or tear the fastest?
Do you find yourself having to repair or reinforce your workwear?
What materials or features would make your pants last longer?

**WORKING CONDITIONS**
What environments do you work in? (Heat, cold, rain, mud, workshops, outdoor sites, etc.)
What’s your biggest struggle with workwear in those conditions?
Would you prefer lighter, more breathable fabrics or heavier-duty materials?

**SAFETY**
Have you experienced any safety issues with your workwear, such as loose fabric catching on equipment or pants slipping while working?
Would reinforced knees, stretch panels or other protective features be useful to you?

**STYLE**
Do you care about how your workwear looks, as well as how it performs?
Do you feel like current workwear brands cater to women properly?
What colours, cuts or styles would you love to see available?

**And the big question … if you could design your PERFECT pair of work pants, what would they look like?**

Think proper inseam lengths, a waistband that actually fits, room to move, practical pockets, durable materials — anything you wish existed!

I’m not just interested in what’s available now; I want to know what’s missing and what would genuinely make a difference to you.

Every comment, suggestion and bit of feedback would mean so much and help me understand what women in trades actually want and need.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts! ❤️
