Appropriately dressed

Workwear is something a lot of people have on for eight, ten or even twelve hours a day. So it is worth spending time on choosing the right size for your height and weight. Maybe your measurements are not exactly the same as they were before. Therefore, check your chest size, waist size and leg length. With shirts, it is the neckline that is important. It is vital that your workwear is comfortable and that it fi ts you perfectly.
It is also important to pay attention to size variations when you are changing from another brand. You can request a measuring chart and order form from TOUGHWEAR.

Please note that cotton is a natural product and will shrink. Allow up to 5% shrinkage from washing. Hence, garments should not be chosen too small.
