Product Overview
The WX2 Eco Stretch Bib and Brace is a thoughtfully engineered solution for professionals who require full lower-body protection without compromising on movement or environmental responsibility. Constructed from a durable medium-weight Kingsmill Polycotton Eco fabric, this garment provides a resilient shield against the rigours of the workplace while utilising recycled materials. Its design integrates modern stretch panelling with traditional utility, ensuring that the wearer remains comfortable and equipped throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Bottom-Loading Knee Pad Pockets: Designed to accommodate knee pads for essential joint protection when working at ground level, meeting EN 14404 standards when used with compatible inserts.
- Stretch Panelling: Strategically placed panels allow for a superior range of motion, ensuring the fabric moves with the body rather than resisting it.
- Versatile Storage: Includes a dedicated bib pocket, thigh pockets, and a rule pocket, providing secure and accessible space for essential tools and personal items.
- Recycled Fabric Composition: Utilises a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, offering a sustainable choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Design & Performance
The core of this garment is its Kingsmill Polycotton Eco fabric, a blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton. This combination ensures a hard-wearing finish that can withstand repetitive movements and abrasive environments. To further enhance performance, contrast panels made from a high-stretch blend of 93% recycled polyester and 7% elastane are incorporated into key areas. This hybrid construction balances the longevity of traditional workwear with the flexibility required for modern, active trades.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The WX2 Eco Stretch Bib and Brace is an excellent candidate for company branding. Embroidery is highly recommended for the bib area or thigh pockets, providing a professional and permanent finish for company logos or staff names. For larger, more vibrant designs on the back or legs, our high-quality print services offer a sharp and bold appearance.
All customisation is handled at our dedicated facility in Telford. Our expert team, backed by decades of experience since 1976, ensures that your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance of your workforce.
Use Cases
This bib and brace is ideal for tradespeople in the construction, maintenance, and engineering sectors. Its comprehensive pocket configuration makes it particularly suitable for those who need to keep multiple tools on their person while moving between tasks. The inclusion of knee pad pockets also makes it a primary choice for flooring contractors and plumbers who spend significant time kneeling.

Practical Advice
For those working in variable temperatures, the generous fit of this bib and brace allows for layering over thermal base layers or lightweight shirts. We recommend checking the sizing guide carefully to ensure the stretch panels sit correctly over the joints for maximum ergonomic benefit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your workwear, it is essential to follow the recommended care instructions. Washing the garment at a maximum temperature of 60°C ensures a thorough clean while protecting the integrity of the recycled polyester fibres and the vibrancy of any custom branding.
Bleaching should be avoided at all costs, as harsh chemicals will weaken the fabric structure and cause premature fading of the black colour. We also advise against tumble drying; allowing the garment to air dry naturally prevents potential shrinkage of the stretch panels and maintains the original fit.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting not exceeding 110°C. Excessive heat can damage the synthetic components of the fabric. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the industrial solvents used in the process can degrade the eco-friendly materials and any applied print or embroidery.
