These men’s craftsman trousers suit demanding, active work where you kneel, climb and carry tools all day. The CORDURA® denim has 2-way stretch, and stretch panels at the crotch, calves and kneepad pockets let you bend and reach freely. Pre-bent legs follow the natural shape of the knee.
The Blåkläder 1980 is built around the ToolRig™ system. A rail runs all the way round the waist, so you can place, move and swap pockets and accessories to suit the task. Tool pockets and a hammer holder come with the trousers, and dedicated loops take ToolRig™ braces or a harness when you carry a heavier load.
