About this product
The Scruffs Trade Holster Work Trousers 2020 are a robust pair of cargo trousers designed for demanding work environments. Featuring a tapered fit – wider in the thigh and then carefully narrowed towards the ankle – these trousers offer both comfort and a modern aesthetic. They’re constructed from a heavy-duty twill fabric incorporating stretch panels, allowing for freedom of movement during prolonged use.
These trousers are built for tradespeople and professionals requiring durable workwear. The key features include abrasion-resistant Cordura knee pockets with two adjustable positions for maximum comfort and support, alongside tool loops for convenient storage. Reinforced hems and pocket reinforcements further enhance their longevity. A range of practical pockets are included – cargo pockets with a zipped section, a rule pocket, a mobile phone pocket, hammer loops and D-rings – to keep essential tools within easy reach.
The trousers boast a mid-rise design and a 38-inch width, making them suitable for those who measure their waist at this size. The fabric is a medium weight polyester blend with a degree of stretch, providing flexibility and durability. These are designed for utility work and offer a two-layer reinforced seat to extend working life compared to standard trousers.
Some buyers have noted that the sizing runs slightly small, so we recommend considering sizing up if you’re unsure. This pair comes as a single unit containing one pair of trousers.
