Workwear
Workwear - from overalls to high-tech
Practical, functional and comfortable? Yes! Dreary and replaceable? No!!! The job-outfit should be fashionable and cool, too – and preferably individual. Gone are the days when work clothes were just used for protection against dirt or to store tools. Job fashion has become an emotional topic and we have made a decisive contribution with our collections.
Engelbert Strauss produces clothing for the most diverse applications and requirements on the job. Collections made from high-quality materials and features. From extra flexible made from a full-stretch fabric, to extremely hear-wearing made from a canvas material. With a focus on sophisticated pocket features or a deliberately reduced look: The right workwear, protective clothing and PPE (personal protective equipment) for trade and industry can be found here. And classic bib and braces cannot be missing from the range either...
How do I find the right workwear?
Professional workwear has to be one thing above all: A perfect fit! The design and size are crucial in guaranteeing a comfortable fit. Our huge selection of sizes should offer everyone in the team the right fit - and provide perfect support at work every day!
T-shirts from 2 XS to 7XL, up to 60 trouser sizes, including short, long and stocky trousers fits create the basis for the perfect team outfit.
We also accommodate the different types of wearer with various shapes of T-shirts and polo shirts. After all, something that suits a colleague might not suit someone else. The shape of the shirt is decisive. The different Engelbert Strauss shirt fittings of regular, long, slim and plus fit extend the possible combinations for an individual style.
Features for professional use
Professional working clothes must be planned down to the finest detail. A functional pocket design is important for work trousers worn by tradesmen. Each trade has its own demands – and special applications require special features. Hammer loops, ruler pockets, mobile phone pockets, keep-safe pockets with zip, kneepad pockets: All of the features must be cleverly arranged and planned. Wood chips need to be stopped from getting into the pockets of carpenters, whilst in the assembly and automobile industries it's important to protect parts against scratches caused by exposed fasteners. Our collection e.s.motion pays special attention to the pocket features. The position, size, features and arrangement of pockets have been defined in collaboration with various trade customers.
Various materials - various properties
Which collection is the right one?
The Engelbert Strauss collections differ in weight, shape, fabric and features. Two questions need to be clarified from the start when choosing the right outfit for the entire team: Is the collection available for men AND women? Does the range include corresponding weather/winter models?
Workwear for ladies
With special fits for ladies and our own collections, Engelbert Strauss accommodates the wishes and special features of women's clothing for tradeswomen. Feeling good is fashionable. Anyone who gives 100% at work day after day needs clothes that fits 100%!
Work protection - safety first!
Above all, the wearer should feel good in the right workwear - and safe! Special protective measures are required depending on the work involved. Safety clothing that protects against heat and flames or against the danger of an electric arc, for example. An appropriate safety shoe to suit the place of work is extremely important to protect the foot against mechanical influences. Of course, safety helmets, work gloves, respirator masks, head protection, ear protection and eye protection are also part of your personal protection equipment. The aim is to effectively protect employees against dangers and damages to health. The central pillar of functioning work protection is the employer's risk assessment so that the necessary protection measures and therefore the right PPE can be selected.
Tips on workwear care
Work clothing such as painter's clothing needs different care to clothes used in gastronomy or the care sector. The type of care clothing needs therefore primarily depends on the job, the special application and the chosen type of clothing. We have a number of different models in the range for various sectors.
The care instructions are different depending on the product, so we recommend that you always check the label before washing! Very detailed washing, drying and care instructions are sewn into Engelbert Strauss clothing. These help you to care for the clothes properly.
Multi-coloured workwear or clothing with contrasting trims, prints, and embroidered or printed logos require special care. Here we recommended our e.s. Washing powder colour plus. The high-performance washing detergent is even suitable for cleaning membrane textiles and effectively combating dirt whilst protecting colours and fibres.
For white textiles, we also offer the e.s. Washing powder hygienic fresh, which is a special washing detergent with a disinfectant effect - especially interesting for sweatshirts, trousers or tunics in care professions or for work clothes used in gastronomy.
Important advice on caring for functional clothing and PPE, such as safety clothing like hi vis or cut protection clothing, as well as tips on caring for safety footwear properly can be found in our FAQs.
