Agricultural Workwear: what to consider
The agricultural sector is a profession with its own methods and specific requirements that workwear must meet. Depending on the type of work, it may need to comply with certain safety standards. In addition, physical work in agriculture demands clothing that allows for freedom of movement. So, what else should you pay attention to when purchasing agricultural workwear? We answer the most frequently asked questions.
What should good agricultural workwear offer?
Quality agricultural workwear needs to be tough and durable. Overalls, work trousers, and jackets made from strong materials are essential in the field or barn. Durability, comfort, and functionality are key. Look for clothing that is breathable, provides enough freedom of movement, and is suitable for daily intensive use. For specific conditions, there are options like warmer winter jackets or lightweight summer outfits.
What are the best materials for agricultural workwear?
Cotton and polyester are commonly used in agricultural workwear. Smart blends of these two fabrics are often used to increase durability. You’ll find this, for example, in our overalls and work trousers made from strong fabrics designed to withstand heavy-duty tasks.
Is there sustainable agricultural workwear?
Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in the agricultural sector, including when it comes to workwear. For us, quality comes first: we design and produce clothing that lasts, even under intensive use.
For part of our customer base, we also offer the option to recycle used workwear. In addition, we are continuously developing circular solutions such as our Fibre to Fibre project.
Can I personalise workwear?
Yes, and it’s actually a very good idea. Agricultural workwear with a logo or even fully customised in your brand identity increases visibility and creates a sense of pride and connection among employees. What’s more, branded clothing can often be tax-deductible. Read more here about when workwear is tax-deductible.
We’ve had the opportunity to create custom workwear for companies such as Lely.
