Fit Like a Pro: How to Size Up Your Workwear

Getting your workwear sizing spot-on means comfort, confidence, and no awkward returns. Whether you're ordering polos, bibs, or those trusty Snickers trousers, here’s how to measure up the right way—with zero guesswork.

T-Shirts, Polos, Jackets & Sweaters

How to measure:

Men: Wrap that tape measure around your chest at the widest point.
Women: Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Pro tip: Stand naturally and keep the tape snug, not tight—you’re not wrapping a parcel.

Work Trousers

Trousers are all about two key numbers:

Waist: Measure around where you’d normally wear them—not too high, not too low.
Inseam: From the crotch to the bottom hem (tip: use your favourite well-fitting pair as a guide).

Heads-up: Not all brands size the same. For example, Snickers Workwear Series 3 and Series 6 trousers fit slightly differently. Always check the product sizing guide or attribute field before buying.

Overalls vs. Bib Overalls—What’s the Deal?

Full Overalls: Measure across the chest (widest point), and either your full body height or your leg inseam (depending on the cut).
Bib Overalls: Think of them like trousers with extras—measure the waist and inseam just like you would with pants.

Measuring Tips for the Win

Wear light clothing while measuring

When in doubt, size up. It’s easier to move in slightly looser workwear than gear that’s too tight

Fall Arrest Safety Harnesses, Lanyards & Equipment

When working at height, safety is not optional—it's critical. That’s why our Technical Safety Fall Arrest Equipment is engineered to meet the highest UK safety standards and help prevent life-threatening accidents.

What is FR Clothing?

FR clothing—short for flame-resistant or flame-retardant clothing—is specially engineered to protect workers from heat, flames, and thermal hazards. Unlike regular workwear, FR garments won’t ignite or melt when exposed to open flame or high heat. Instead, they self-extinguish, reducing burn injuries and giving wearers crucial time to escape danger.

Your feet work hard—don’t let them down! Whether you're on a bustling construction site or the factory floor, wearing the right safety footwear is non-negotiable. It’s your first line of defence against falling tools, heavy machinery, sharp objects, and slippery surfaces.
