Product Overview
The Portwest WX3 Modaflame Softshell FR Jacket is a sophisticated solution for professionals who require high-performance safety wear without the bulky, outdated aesthetic of traditional protective gear. Built by Portwest and supplied by our team here at MyWorkwear—where we have been experts in the field since 1976—this jacket combines a contemporary unisex fit with essential flame-resistant properties. It is designed to offer a protective barrier in hazardous environments while maintaining the sleek, professional silhouette of a modern softshell.
Key Features
- Inherent Flame Resistance: The fabric is engineered to be naturally flame resistant, meaning the protection is built into the fibres and will not diminish over time or through repeated laundering.
- Unisex Design: The versatile cut ensures a consistent and professional appearance for every member of your workforce, regardless of gender.
- Comprehensive Size Range: Available from Small to 3XL, allowing you to provide your entire team with a comfortable and well-fitted uniform.
- Substantial Softshell Fabric: The heavier-weight material provides an effective shield against wind and light moisture, keeping the wearer comfortable during outdoor tasks.
Design & Performance
Crafted from a substantial and sturdy polycotton blend, this jacket is built for the rigours of daily trade work. The heavier-weight fabric feels solid and protective, providing peace of mind when working in challenging conditions. Unlike standard jackets that might wear thin at stress points, the WX3 series is designed with durability in mind, ensuring the garment maintains its structural integrity through long shifts.
The softshell construction offers a flexible fit that moves with the wearer, which is essential for tasks requiring a full range of motion. The deep black finish provides a sharp, authoritative look that hides the inevitable dust and grime of the job site, ensuring your team always looks their best.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance that is ideal for company logos and individual names. It is exceptionally durable and stands up to repeated washing without fading, making it a sound investment for long-term branding. Alternatively, print is better suited to larger, bold designs and offers a broader colour range for maximum impact. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to ensure the highest standards of quality.
Use Cases
This jacket is specifically designed for workers in industries such as utilities, energy, and maintenance where flame-resistant clothing is a mandatory safety requirement. It is an ideal choice for site managers, engineers, and technicians who need to balance onsite safety with a professional appearance during client meetings or office time.

Practical Advice
Given the substantial weight of this jacket, it serves as an excellent outer layer. For those working in colder climates, we recommend wearing it over a moisture-wicking base layer. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider sizing up to ensure you maintain full mobility while working.
Caring for your product
To ensure this jacket continues to provide the necessary protection, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions located on the internal label. Maintaining the cleanliness of flame-resistant garments is not just about appearance; it ensures that contaminants do not interfere with the fabric's protective properties.
We recommend avoiding the use of bleach or fabric softeners during the wash cycle. These chemicals can coat the fibres or break down the protective qualities of the material, potentially compromising your safety on the job.
When drying the garment, it is best to avoid excessive heat. High temperatures can cause the fabric to shrink or become brittle over time. A natural air dry or a low-heat setting will help the jacket retain its shape and ensure your customised embroidery or print remains in peak condition.
Should the jacket require ironing, use a low setting. Excessive direct heat can damage the synthetic components of the softshell, leading to a loss of flexibility and a degraded finish.
