Product Overview
The WX2 Eco Stretch Trade Trousers are a sophisticated addition to any professional wardrobe, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of active tradespeople and dedicated DIY enthusiasts alike. These trousers represent a thoughtful intersection of sustainable manufacturing and high-performance functionality, utilizing recycled materials without compromising on the structural integrity required for a long day on-site. The inclusion of stretch panels ensures that the wearer maintains full mobility, while the integrated ventilation systems address the practical need for temperature regulation during intensive physical tasks.
Key Features
- Eco-Conscious Fabric: Constructed from Kingsmill Polycotton Eco, containing 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton, these trousers provide a durable yet environmentally responsible choice for the modern workplace.
- Zip Ventilation: Strategically placed zip ventilation on the back of the legs allows for immediate airflow adjustment, keeping you cool when working in enclosed spaces or during warmer spells.
- Knee Pad Pockets: Dedicated pockets for knee pads are included to facilitate essential joint protection, which is vital for those spending significant time kneeling on hard surfaces.
- Stretch Contrast Panels: The use of Kingsmill Polyester Stretch fabric (93% polyester, 7% elastane) in key areas allows the trousers to move with your body, reducing resistance and increasing comfort during complex movements.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the CD881 design. The primary fabric is a medium-weight polycotton that balances breathability with the toughness needed to resist abrasions and tears. By blending recycled polyester with cotton, the garment remains resilient through repeated wear while feeling comfortable against the skin. The addition of elastane in the contrast panels provides that necessary 'give' when squatting or climbing ladders, ensuring the seams are not put under undue stress.
Furthermore, these trousers are designed to be compatible with standard knee pad inserts. When paired with the S156 knee pads, they meet EN 14404 standards, providing a certified level of protection that ensures your long-term health is prioritised alongside your daily productivity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your uniform is a reflection of your business standards. These trousers are perfectly suited for both print and embroidery customisation, managed by our expert team in Telford since 1976. For a formal and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names on the pockets or thigh areas. If you require a larger, more prominent graphic that needs to stand out from a distance, our high-quality printing processes provide a crisp and vibrant alternative. Our in-house production ensures that every stitch and print is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance your brand deserves.
Use Cases
These trousers are an essential choice for a wide variety of sectors, including construction, plumbing, electrical engineering, and carpentry. Their versatile design makes them equally appropriate for the professional tradesperson navigating a busy building site as they are for the home improvement enthusiast tackling a complex renovation project where durability and pocket space are paramount.

Practical Advice
For the best fit, we recommend selecting your standard waist size. Given the stretch panels, these trousers offer a slightly more accommodating fit than traditional rigid work trousers, making them ideal for layering over thermal base layers during the winter months. If you intend to use knee pads, ensure they are correctly seated in the internal pockets before starting work to guarantee maximum protection and comfort.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your WX2 trousers, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures that trade-related grime is effectively removed without damaging the structural fibres of the recycled polyester blend.
Please do not use bleach, as this will degrade the fabric strength and cause the black pigment to fade prematurely. When drying, these trousers are suitable for a normal tumble dry cycle, or they can be line dried to conserve energy and minimise mechanical wear. If pressing is required, use a maximum iron temperature of 110°C to avoid scorching the synthetic fibres. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemical solvents involved can interfere with the elastane properties and the integrity of any applied custom branding.
