Product Overview
The Portwest WX3 Eco Stretch Holster Trousers represent a significant step forward in sustainable workwear without compromising on technical performance. Engineered for the modern tradesperson, these trousers feature an active fit that moves with you, rather than against you. By utilising high-quality recycled materials, Portwest provides a solution for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining a professional and functional uniform.
Key Features
- Titanmill Plus Stretch Eco Fabric: A sophisticated blend of recycled polyester, cotton, and elastane that provides the necessary flexibility for demanding physical tasks.
- Integrated Holster Pockets: Designed for efficiency, these pockets allow you to keep essential tools and fixings close at hand, reducing the time spent moving back and forth to a toolbox.
- Active Fit Design: The tailored construction ensures the garment sits correctly during repetitive movements such as kneeling or climbing, preventing the fabric from bunching or pulling.
- Eco-Conscious Construction: Both the main fabric and contrast sections are made using recycled polyester, helping to divert waste from landfills while ensuring long-term garment durability.
Design & Performance
The core of this garment is the Titanmill Plus Stretch Eco fabric. This medium-weight material consists of 65% recycled polyester for strength, 33% cotton for breathability, and 2% elastane for essential stretch. This specific composition ensures that the trousers can withstand the rigours of a busy site while providing the comfort required for a full day's work. The addition of 100% recycled polyester contrast panels adds an extra layer of resilience in high-wear areas.
Performance is further enhanced by its compliance with EN 14404: 2004 + A1: 2010 Type 2 Level 0 standards when used in conjunction with specific knee pads. This ensures that your protection is up to the required safety standards for professional environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These holster trousers are well-suited for professional branding. For a durable and prestigious finish, we recommend embroidery. This is particularly effective for company logos or staff names on the thigh or pocket area, providing a permanent and high-quality appearance that survives industrial use.
Alternatively, if you require larger or more vibrant graphics, our high-definition printing process is an excellent choice. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
The WX3 Eco Stretch Holster Trousers are ideal for electricians, plumbers, and carpenters who require both tool storage and freedom of movement. Their professional black finish and modern silhouette also make them suitable for facilities management and maintenance teams who need to balance a smart appearance with practical functionality.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that these trousers feature an active fit with stretch. If you often find yourself between sizes or require additional room for layering thermal base layers during winter, you may wish to consider the next size up. The holster pockets are designed to be used heavily, so ensure your belt is of high quality to support the additional weight of tools.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the stretch properties of the Titanmill fabric, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures the removal of stubborn site grime and oils without damaging the recycled fibres.
You should avoid the use of bleach at all costs. Bleaching agents will break down the elastane and polyester fibres, leading to a loss of shape and a significant reduction in the lifespan of the trousers.
When drying, a low-heat tumble dry is permissible, though drip line drying is preferred to keep the fabric crisp. If ironing is required, use a maximum temperature of 150°C to avoid scorching the synthetic components. Do not dry clean these trousers, as the chemicals used can degrade the technical finish of the fabric.
