If you have stood on a building site, in a depot or beside a set of roadworks, you have seen Portwest. It is workwear for the site and the yard, made to be worn hard and replaced without drama, and it is the natural starting point for a crew that works outdoors.
What is in the range
We carry Portwest jackets, work trousers, fleeces, softshells, gilets, polo shirts and coveralls, plus safety gloves and safety footwear. It suits builders, groundworkers, engineers, facilities teams and councils: people whose clothes have a job to do before they have a look to keep.
The trousers, family by family
Trousers are where Portwest gives you the most choice, and the names are worth knowing.
- PW3. The modern work trouser: padded and hi-vis stretch styles, with a women's PW3 hi-vis stretch trouser alongside the men's.
- DX4. Stretch trousers with holster pockets, for trades that carry tools on the leg.
- WX2. A straightforward work trouser for everyday wear.
- Ultimate Modular 3-in-1. A trouser that adapts as the job and the weather change.
If the crew kneels for a living, look for the styles that take knee pads. If it works beside traffic, the hi-vis trousers belong with a hi-vis top; our guide to hi-vis classes explains what each site needs.
What can carry your logo
Most Portwest clothing can be branded, and the product page tells you whether a logo can go on the item in front of you. We print and embroider in-house in Lowestoft with no minimum order. Upload the logo, place it and see the price before you order: £3.95 a garment for a logo, or £1.75 a letter for initials. Safety gloves are sold plain.
Ordering for a crew
The staff order tool takes a size against every name, so a crew's jackets and trousers go in at once. Read how to size a crew first, because branded garments cannot be returned for fit. Contractors and councils can order on a purchase order, anything over £100 is 10% off automatically, and UK delivery is £6 or free over £300.
