Product Overview
The WX1 Two Tone Cotton Work Jacket is a contemporary addition to any professional wardrobe, designed to coordinate seamlessly with the wider WX1 and Portwest collections. This jacket is built for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing the functional demands of active work. By utilising a natural cotton construction, it offers a balance of durability and breathability that synthetic materials often struggle to match.
Key Features
- 100% Cotton Fabric: Provides natural breathability and a soft touch, ensuring you remain comfortable during long shifts in varied environments.
- Pre-shaped Elbows: These allow for a more natural range of motion, reducing fabric strain and preventing the sleeves from riding up during physical tasks.
- Multiple Pockets: Offers ample, secure storage for essential tools and personal items, keeping them close at hand throughout the day.
- Reflective Trim on Back Vent: Enhances your visibility in low-light conditions, providing an extra layer of safety when working in busy or poorly lit areas.
- Adjustable Fit: Hook and loop cuff adjustments and side elastication allow you to tailor the fit to your preference, ensuring comfort and preventing snagging hazards.
Design & Performance
Performance in workwear is often determined by the quality of the materials and the thoughtfulness of the cut. This jacket is crafted from a substantial yet breathable cotton fabric that excels at temperature regulation. Unlike heavy synthetics, the natural fibres allow air to circulate, which is a significant advantage for those working in physically demanding roles. The two-tone design in black and grey provides a modern, sharp look that remains practical for site work.
The durability of the garment is reinforced by its ergonomic design. The pre-shaped elbows are a technical highlight, designed to follow the natural bend of the arm. This reduces the pressure on the seams and the fabric itself, extending the overall lifespan of the jacket even with frequent use.
Why No Customisation?
This particular garment is offered as a non-customised item to ensure the structural integrity and technical features remain uncompromised. The specific placement of the reflective trims, back vents, and internal pocket configurations means that standard embroidery or print processes could interfere with the garment's intended performance and safety profile.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for tradespeople, warehouse managers, and maintenance engineers who require a sturdy yet breathable outer layer. Its professional aesthetic also makes it an excellent choice for site supervisors and project managers who need to move between the office and the field while maintaining a consistent corporate image.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, particularly in this 4XL fit, consider the layers you typically wear underneath. Cotton is an excellent material for layering, and ensuring there is sufficient room for a jumper or sweatshirt will allow you to adapt to changing temperatures throughout the day without restricting your movement.
Caring for your product
To ensure this jacket continues to perform at its best, it is important to follow a consistent care routine. Regular washing at standard domestic temperatures is recommended to remove dirt and grit, which can act as an abrasive and weaken the natural cotton fibres over time.
We strongly advise against the use of bleach or aggressive chemical cleaners. These agents break down the molecular structure of the cotton, leading to a loss of strength and causing the black and grey tones to fade prematurely. When drying, it is preferable to air dry or use a low heat setting; high temperatures in a tumble dryer can cause natural cotton to shrink, which may alter the fit of the jacket and its pre-shaped features.
Finally, if the garment requires ironing, use a medium heat setting. This will help maintain a crisp, professional appearance while ensuring you do not scorch the fabric or damage the reflective trims.
