Product Overview
The DX4 Work Bib and Brace represents a significant advancement in trade apparel, specifically engineered for the modern professional who requires a balance between a contemporary slim-fit silhouette and uncompromised mobility. Designed with a focus on ergonomics, this garment utilises dynamic 4X stretch fabrics to ensure that the wearer can move freely without the restriction often associated with traditional, rigid workwear. The inclusion of high-rise back waistbands and side elastication ensures that the bib and brace remains securely in position, providing continuous protection and coverage even when kneeling or bending.
Key Features
- Pre-bent Top Loading Adjustable Knee Pad Pockets: These pockets allow for the precise positioning of knee protection, reducing strain during floor-level tasks and ensuring compliance with safety standards when paired with appropriate inserts.
- Multi-purpose Pockets: Strategically placed storage options allow you to keep essential tools and devices close at hand, improving efficiency on the job.
- Adjustable Shoulder Straps: These provide a customisable fit, ensuring the weight of the garment is distributed evenly across the shoulders for all-day comfort.
- Extendable Hems: A thoughtful design choice that allows the leg length to be adjusted, accommodating different heights and footwear requirements.
- Reflective Trims: Integrated into the design to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, providing an additional layer of safety on-site.
Design & Performance
Constructed using Titanmill Pro Stretch fabric, which is a sophisticated blend of polyester and elastane, this bib and brace offers a substantial yet flexible feel. The medium-weight main fabric is complemented by Titanmill Plus Ripstop panels in high-wear areas, which provides essential resistance against tears and abrasions. This combination of materials ensures that while the garment is robust enough for demanding environments, it does not feel cumbersome or heavy.
The technical performance is further enhanced by CorePro nylon-elastane reinforcements, which are specifically chosen for their durability. This meticulous approach to material selection means the garment is capable of withstanding the rigours of daily professional use while maintaining its shape and protective qualities over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The DX4 Bib and Brace is an excellent canvas for professional branding. Given its sophisticated design, we highly recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names. This technique provides a raised, high-quality finish that aligns perfectly with the garment's premium feel and ensures your brand is represented with a sense of permanence and authority.
For larger, high-impact graphics or promotional messaging, our high-definition printing services are equally effective. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility, where our team—backed by MyWorkwear's heritage dating back to 1976—uses precision equipment to ensure your branding remains sharp and durable. Whether you choose the texture of embroidery or the boldness of print, your workwear will maintain a professional appearance through every shift.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for tradespeople who operate in dynamic environments, such as carpenters, electricians, and facility maintenance engineers. Its blend of flexibility and reinforced durability also makes it a superior choice for those in the construction and logistics sectors who require a professional uniform that can keep pace with physical demands.

Practical Advice
The slim-fit nature of this bib and brace is designed to sit closer to the body; however, the integrated stretch ensures it does not feel restrictive. If you intend to wear heavy thermal layers underneath during winter months, you may wish to consider how this affects your usual sizing requirements. The adjustable straps and elasticated waist provide a degree of flexibility, making it easy to find a secure fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and technical performance of the stretch fabrics, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures or using aggressive cycles can prematurely degrade the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of shape and flexibility.
It is essential that you do not bleach this garment. Bleaching agents will compromise the fabric strength and can cause significant discolouration to both the black fabric and the contrast panelling, as well as damaging any custom branding.
While this product can be tumble dried on a normal setting, we suggest drip line drying where possible to extend the life of the garment. Under no circumstances should you iron this bib and brace; the high heat of an iron can melt the synthetic stretch fibres and damage the reflective trims. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the fabric's technical properties.
