Product Overview
The Craghoppers Sheffield stretch holster workwear trousers are a substantial and highly engineered solution for professionals who require a blend of mobility and storage. These trousers are constructed from a heavyweight stretch polyamide fabric, featuring a clever mix of recycled materials and high-performance finishes like the H2OShield DWR (Durable Water Repellent). They are designed specifically to withstand the rigours of a busy site while providing the comfort of activewear through their articulated knee design and integrated stretch.
Key Features
- Removable multi-pocket holster system allows you to adapt your storage capacity based on the specific requirements of the day's tasks.
- Articulated knees featuring Cordura reinforced panels provide exceptional durability in high-wear areas and accommodate kneepad inserts for added protection.
- H2OShield DWR finish ensures that light rain beads off the surface, keeping you dry during outdoor transitions.
- Odour-control patches are strategically placed to maintain freshness throughout long shifts in demanding conditions.
- Sun-protective fabric properties offer an additional layer of safety for tradespeople working in exposed outdoor environments.
Design & Performance
These trousers are built from a robust blend of 95% polyamide (half of which is recycled) and 5% elastane. This composition creates a substantial, heavyweight feel that does not compromise on movement; the elastane provides the necessary flex for climbing ladders or kneeling. The addition of genuine Cordura panels on the knees and trim areas ensures that the garment can handle abrasive surfaces without tearing, extending the life of your workwear investment.
The technical performance is further enhanced by part-recycled zip tapes and a construction process that adheres to REACH compliance and Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) standards, making these an excellent choice for businesses prioritising sustainability without sacrificing performance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Sheffield trousers are well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a sophisticated and enduring professional finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names, particularly on the thigh or rear pocket areas. If you require larger, high-impact branding, our printing techniques provide sharp, vibrant results.
Our expert team in Telford has been perfecting garment customisation since 1976. We manage the entire process in-house, ensuring that the technical properties of the fabric are respected while delivering a superior finish that represents your business accurately.
Use Cases
These trousers are ideal for carpenters, electricians, and site managers who need quick access to tools via holster pockets but require the flexibility of stretch fabric. They are equally effective for surveyors or engineers who balance time between the office and demanding outdoor environments.

Practical Advice
These trousers are available in waist sizes ranging from 30" to 42" with a regular leg length of 31". Given the stretch nature of the fabric, they offer a forgiving fit, but we recommend choosing your standard size to ensure the knee pad pockets and holster system sit correctly on the body.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the H2OShield finish and the integrity of the stretch fibres, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can degrade the elastane over time, leading to a loss of shape.
It is essential to avoid the use of bleach, water softeners, or fabric conditioners. These chemicals can strip the DWR coating and clog the technical fibres, significantly reducing the trousers' water-repellent and moisture-management capabilities.
Always wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer and do not tumble dry. Air drying is necessary to preserve the heat-sensitive recycled polyamide and ensuring the custom branding remains intact for the lifespan of the garment.
