Cut for the movements the job actually needs, and measured while doing them. We don’t ask what you do for a living. We ask which movements you repeat, then publish what each garment gives you when you make them.

What the four frames below are
One wearer. One pair of trousers and one shirt. Four movements, photographed while they happened, each with the figure it produced. Most workwear is shown lying flat or standing still, which tells you nothing about what it lets you do.
Measured on a 165 cm wearer in size 38. Yours will differ.

Not by job title, not by category
Start from the movement you repeat
A shop organised by garment type asks you to translate your day into a product category first. We skipped that step. Pick the movement that fills your day and the figures come with it.

The measurement nobody publishes
A pocket you can't reach is not a pocket
When a men’s pattern is scaled down to fit a shorter body, the pockets scale with it — which sounds reasonable until you try to use one. Arm length does not shrink at the same rate as leg length, so a proportionally scaled thigh pocket ends up below the point a shorter arm can comfortably reach.
Pocket positions are set for a 165 cm frame. Scaled-down men's patterns put them where a shorter arm can't reach.
So we publish the number: for every garment with pockets, the distance from the waistline down to the centre of each pocket opening, and how deep it is.
measured from the waistline, not the hem
Scaled down vs cut for 165 cm
Same garment, same size. The pocket centre moves 6 cm.
Depth, stated in cm
24 cm on the deep thigh pocket. Deep enough that a long driver stops walking itself out.

Three questions, no account
Motion Fit
Tell us which movement you repeat most, whether you carry tools, and how tall you are. That is the whole questionnaire. We will not ask who you work for, where you work, what industry you are in or anything about your health — and there is nowhere in this site to store any of it.
Step 01
Movement
Squat, overhead, standing, climbing or carrying.
Step 02
Tools
None, a few small ones, or a full set.
Step 03
Height
Four bands. Used only to place the pockets.
When the answer is “not from us”
If your work needs certified protective equipment — fall protection, flame resistance, certified conspicuity garments — that is not something we sell, and it is not something you should buy from a general clothing shop. Your employer is responsible for providing certified equipment.
Ten pieces or more
Team orders
Kitting out a team is mostly a sizing problem, not a purchasing one. Tell us the size spread, the height spread, which movements the work involves and the quantity, and we will come back with what we would put on that list and what we would not.
We supply workwear only. If your team needs certified protective equipment, that must come from a certified PPE supplier, and the employer is responsible for providing it.

Price difference
The gusset is the whole difference between these two trousers. We would rather show you the 6 cm than describe it.
What we don’t do
- We don’t make protective equipment. Nothing here is certified, and nothing here protects you against a workplace hazard. That is a different industry with a different set of obligations.
- We don’t claim a garment outlives the job. Workwear wears out — that is what the work does to it. So we list the places that fail first on every product page, before you buy it.
- We don’t charge for height. Tall and Short are priced the same as each other. A body that is not 170 cm is not a surcharge.
- We don’t comment on how it looks on you. This is a tools catalogue. The numbers are the argument.
