Product Overview
The PW3 Insulated Holster Trousers represent a specialized evolution of the classic T602 work trousers, specifically engineered for professionals who cannot afford to let the temperature dictate their productivity. By combining the proven utility of holster pockets with an integrated thermal layer, these trousers provide a robust solution for cold-weather site work. The garment maintains the high-performance standards of the PW3 range while introducing a padded interior to combat the bite of winter environments.
Key Features
- Integrated Holster Pockets: Designed for the efficient storage of tools and fasteners, these pockets ensure essential equipment is always within reach, reducing downtime on the job.
- Thermal Insulation: Featuring a dedicated polyester wadding, these trousers provide essential heat retention for working in unheated buildings or outdoor settings.
- Titanmill Plus Fabric: A durable blend of polyester and cotton that offers high abrasion resistance while remaining comfortable for all-day wear.
- Certified Knee Protection: When paired with compatible knee pads (S156), these trousers meet EN 14404 standards, providing necessary impact protection for those frequently working on their knees.
Design & Performance
The PW357 is constructed using Titanmill Plus fabric, a substantial 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend. This composition is chosen for its ability to withstand the rigours of manual labour while maintaining a professional appearance. The addition of a 100% Polyester Taffeta lining ensures the trousers glide easily over base layers, preventing the friction and bunching often associated with insulated workwear.
Performance is further enhanced by the medium-weight polyester wadding. Unlike traditional heavy-duty thermal gear that can feel restrictive, this insulation is carefully balanced to provide warmth without compromising the wearer's range of motion. This makes them particularly well-suited for active trades where both agility and thermal regulation are required.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your clothing is a mobile billboard for your business. This substantial garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, operating since 1976, utilizes professional-grade machinery to ensure your branding is as durable as the trousers themselves.
For a sophisticated and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names on the pockets or thigh. If you require large, bold branding that needs to stand out from a distance, our high-quality heat transfer printing provides a sharp, vibrant alternative that adheres securely to the Titanmill Plus fabric.
Use Cases
These trousers are an essential choice for construction workers, site managers, and outdoor maintenance teams operating during the British winter. They are equally effective for staff in cold-storage facilities or large, unheated warehouses where maintaining core temperature is a health and safety priority.

Based in Telford, we handle every stage of the customisation process in-house, ensuring that the quality of your branded apparel matches the professional standards of your own business.
Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these trousers feature internal padding. While they are designed to fit true to size, if you intend to wear particularly thick thermal leggings underneath, you may find a slightly more generous fit offers better comfort. The holster pockets are designed to be tucked away when not in use, providing versatility for different tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and thermal efficiency of these trousers, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove heavy site grime without causing premature degradation of the synthetic fibres or the internal wadding.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will weaken the polyester-cotton blend and cause significant fading to the black finish. Furthermore, these trousers should not be tumble dried; high heat can cause the internal insulation to clump or shrink. Instead, we advise line drying the garment to ensure it retains its shape.
If ironing is required to maintain a crisp appearance, use a maximum temperature of 150°C. This ensures the outer fabric is smoothed without risking damage to the polyester lining or wadding. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical solvents can interfere with the fabric's technical properties.
