Our guide to quality Workwear

Written by Shanne Pritchard | Sep 25, 2024

As a premium apparel brand that works to the ethos of built to last, introducing a workwear appropriate offering was a natural progression. When designing the range, it was important that everything we produced in this space always had a classic streetwear look to it, meaning it can work both on and off site.

Our workwear range is predominantly cotton based making them breathable for daily wear and easier to integrate back into nature at the end of their life. A big portion of our workwear range is more specifically duck canvas, a fabric that is renowned for its durability. Woven with two yarns together in the warp (vertical) and a single yarn in the weft (horizontal), it provides a robust, workwear-ready fabric, protecting your clothes from spills, tears and damage.


Duck Canvas - Overalls & Coveralls

All-in-one styles offer the most protection and uniform ease in a slightly lighter weight duck canvas of 365 GSM (10.8 oz). Each style having multiple functional pockets for various tools or equipment storage. Both with double patch knees for added cushioning, and a hammer loop. The Coveralls are designed to be worn over your clothes with internal access at the pocket.
Suitable for screen printing, embroidery and heat pressing.
