The British outdoor and adventure travel clothing brand, Craghoppers is launching its first workwear collection
In 2021, Craghoppers Expert range of work-ready, outdoor apparel was re-introduced to the market. This allowed businesses to protect their staff from the elements in smart outdoor inspired uniforms. Since then, Craghoppers design team has taken on board valuable customer feedback to produce a complete range of hard-wearing workwear.
The inaugural collection launches with a range of jackets, fit for a variety of end users. The Castleford Hybrid Workwear Jacket blends the planet-friendly warmth of a Craghoppers synthetic down jacket with the freedom of movement developed in the brand’s softshell jackets, perfect for moving around in cold environments.
The Richmond Stretch Workwear Jacket, Whitby Softshell Workwear Jacket and Morley Fleece Workwear Jacket complete the Jacket selections. The Richmond is hardwearing and waterproof, made with a polyester ripstop for rigorous work in downpours. The Whitby and Morley provide warmth and are both showerproof, thanks to Craghoppers’ plant based DWR. All three jackets are adjustable at the cuffs, hem, and the hood, for a comfy fit and come with plenty of pockets to keep essentials close at hand. The Morely can be worn either as an outer-layer or mid-layer under a waterproof jacket to help keep warm and dry.
The Craghoppers Workwear range comes with three soft-to-the-touch base layers, the Wakefield Pocket Workwear T-Shirt, Batley Workwear T-Shirt, and the Oulston Workwear Hoodie. Each base layer is made from organic cotton and designed to offer maximum
mobility. This is particularly relevant with the Ouston which has extra panelling to the shoulder and arms to allow the wearer to reach higher.
Moving to legwear, the Sheffield Stretch Holster Workwear Trouser is made from a lightweight grid softshell with plenty of stretch for active work and added Cordura panelling for a sturdy trouser. Featuring a total of 16 pockets, including an RFID security pocket and removable holster pockets, these trousers also come with articulated knees and a hammer loop as well as many other helpful additions which make these trousers the ideal work companion.
The Bedale Stretch Cargo Workwear Trouser offers a choice for those in need of something more heavyweight. Made from Better Cotton cotton/elastane heavy basket weave with reinforced panelling, these trousers come with triangle reinforcement stitching to the crotch to help prevent splitting. The addition of odour control patches helps to keep a fresh feeling for longer. The Bedale also shares many features found in the Sheffield. Knee pockets for knee protectors, a hammer loop and plenty of pockets feature alongside a part elasticated waist and articulated knees for freer movement.
“The key focus for each piece of workwear in this collection was centred around style, comfort, and durability. This was continuously emphasised throughout the whole design process. “We drew upon important elements from our main collection such as true functionality, strong technologies, and sustainability; like our plant based DWRs and use of part recycled materials. This was to guarantee that each product in the range was held to the same high standards of enduring quality that our customers have come to expect.” Caroline Sheehan, Designer for Craghoppers Workwear
