Painter's clothing for
your professional use

Every trade is passionate about what they do, and often they can be recognised from afar by what they wear, be it a classic blue overall or guild clothing. This is where stylish workwear meets tradition. Anyone who wears workwear is proud of their work.

Painters and plasterers lend surfaces a new look or upgrade objects made of various materials – often in poor weather and difficult conditions. Suitable workwear is required all-year-round, both indoors and outdoors, and must match the weather conditions perfectly at all times. That is why painter clothing by Strauss has been designed to provide outstanding service for the most wide-ranging indoor and outdoor tasks.

Engelbert Strauss offers a modular system for painter clothing that caters for various body shapes and sizes. It protects the wearer and allows absolute freedom of movement combined with comfort, and also has numerous helpful features, for instance pockets for tools, phones etc.

Thanks to the modern style and uniform look, Strauss workwear can be combined easily. Here are some ideas and tips on how to find the perfect painter clothing, and what you need to look out for.

Elastic stretch zones, for example on the waistband of the trousers and at the back of the jacket, allow the wearer to work in a squatting position, overhead or even on their knees. The light weight of the painter clothing is also important, as are the practical holders and pockets for knee pads, tools and pens. Who likes having to climb up and down ladders every time you need something? This workwear makes your life easier.

Good painter clothing should be made of high-quality materials. Easy-care shirts with a high percentage of cotton or polyester for a more pleasant day at work. High-quality and pleasant softshell jackets, painter trousers and well-lined jackets made of durable materials – it’s the small details that make a big impact for painters and plasterers every day.

An elastic waistband makes the clothing extremely flexible and ensures they are pleasantly comfortable. This is also underscored by the use of durable yet elastic materials. The most important thing is that you feel good, even after a hard day’s work.
Anyone who attaches importance to these factors will find precisely what they are looking for in the classic, yet modern collections by Strauss. Our extraordinary assortment of garments offers painters well-designed workwear from head to toe, in a great range of sizes.

Painters need functional and versatile workwear because they are often exposed to the elements. That is why our painter workwear range includes personal protective equipment and usually comprises a combination of:
• Trousers or bib&brace
• T-shirt, sweatshirt or polo shirt
• Vest or jacket

First and foremost, a painter needs a pair of durable work trousers. These are usually white and should be made of a high-quality cotton and polyester to make them very flexible and durable.

In particular, the bib&brace models offer a large amount of additional pocket space on the legs for safe storage and easy access to brushes and other tools.

Painters and plasterers are known by their white workwear, and for good reason. Painters attach a great deal of importance to keeping things clean, and the fewer stains on the workwear, the better the work. But it is also important to remember that they usually use white paint, and that does not show up as much on white clothing. The same goes for plaster and dust.

At work, painters handle a variety of paints and varnishes, and are often exposed to dust and dirt, which is why the material and quality of the painter clothing need to be durable, wear-resistant and tough, as well as being suitable for hot washing cycles. Also, white painter clothing can also be bleached if necessary, in contrast to black or coloured workwear.

However, anyone who wants a unique colourful look should check out the e.s. Painter trousers, which come in a modern pattern, are unbelievably lightweight for the summer, and are also extremely flexible. These are very obviously painter trousers!

Women painters will find the garments they need in the women’s range of Strauss workwear, which is just as comprehensive as the men’s range. Well-designed work trousers, jackets, vests and shirts for women come in a feminine style, but are still matched to the men’s designs to ensure a great overall look.

Sometimes painter clothing should be more than just functional, it should also boost team spirit -workwear becomes teamwear! Ultimately, employees of the painter companies need to feel good in their workwear and be ambassadors for their company! This is why Engelbert Strauss supplies its painter workwear in a vast range of sizes, colours, styles and models.

In addition to the right work clothing, painters and decorators also depend on excellent equipment. Here, too, Strauss offers numerous tested products, such as over-shoes and overalls to protect clothing from dust particles and paint splashes. A good painter´s covering fleece prevents floors becoming soiled with paint, dirt or surface wetness. Another essential tool for painters and decorators is a cutter knife, which is used to cut wallpaper or fleece to size. The Pro cutter knife by Strauss has an integrated blade store which does away with the need to change the blades manually.

In addition to a set of reliable brushes, painters and decorators also need to ensure that they have good work shoes and safety footwear. Strauss safety shoes that conform to the standard EN ISO 20345 keep workers on the safe side. Non-slip soles ensure a secure footing, and toe caps protect feet against falling objects.
