Product Overview
The Portwest Texo Contrast Bib and Brace is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require full lower-body protection without sacrificing comfort. Built from a cotton-rich Kingsmill fabric, it strikes an ideal balance between the natural breathability of cotton and the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. This bib and brace provides a practical solution for demanding work environments, ensuring the wearer remains protected and comfortable throughout the shift.
Key Features
- Concealed Bib Pocket: Offers a secure space to store essential documents or personal items, keeping them protected from dirt and debris while maintaining a streamlined appearance.
- Integrated Kneepad Pockets: Designed to accommodate kneepads, providing crucial joint protection for those frequently working at ground level.
- Ample Thigh Pockets: Positioned for easy access, these pockets allow for the convenient storage of tools and equipment while on the move.
- Hook and Loop Leg Adjustment: Allows for a secure and customisable fit at the ankle, preventing the garment from catching or dragging during active tasks.
Design & Performance
The performance of this bib and brace is rooted in its material composition. The Kingsmill fabric, comprising 60% cotton and 40% polyester, is a medium-weight textile that provides excellent durability. The high cotton content ensures that the garment is soft against the skin and allows for effective moisture management, which is essential during physical exertion. The polyester component adds structural integrity, ensuring the garment maintains its shape and withstands the rigours of daily use in industrial settings.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal and enduring professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names. The medium-weight fabric provides a stable foundation for high-density stitching, ensuring your branding remains sharp even after repeated laundering. If your requirement involves larger, more vibrant graphics for high visibility, our high-quality printing process is an ideal alternative. Since 1976, our specialist team in Telford has been refining these customisation techniques to ensure your workwear represents your business to the highest standard.
Use Cases
The Portwest Texo Bib and Brace is particularly suited to tradespeople such as carpenters, plumbers, and electricians who require functional storage and knee protection. It is also a popular choice for warehouse operatives and maintenance teams who benefit from the full-body coverage and durable fabric during varied manual tasks.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath. As a bib and brace is designed for full-body movement, ensuring a comfortable fit around the waist and chest is key to maintaining mobility. The adjustable straps and leg ends allow for fine-tuning the fit once the garment is on, ensuring it stays in place throughout the working day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is effective for removing stubborn work-related stains without damaging the cotton-rich fibres.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause the Bottle Green colour to fade prematurely. It may also damage the threads used in any custom embroidery, compromising the professional look of your logo.
When ironing, a maximum temperature of 150°C should be used. This ensures the garment remains crisp and professional without risking heat damage to the polyester blend or the custom branding. For heavy-duty cleaning, this garment is also suitable for professional dry cleaning using Tetrachloroethene.
