Craghoppers launches first workwear collection

This year, Craghoppers is launching its first workwear collection, boasting high quality, socially responsible and sustainably made products with innovative features and technologies, which are inherent to the popular British outdoor and adventure travel clothing brand.

Craghoppers’ complete range of hard-wearing workwear is suitable for a wide range of jobs  

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, fit for a variety of jobs.

Jackets

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 first-rate 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 range. The Richmond is hard-wearing and waterproof, made with a polyester ripstop for rigorous work in downpours, whereas the Whitby and Morley provide warmth and are both showerproof, thanks to Craghoppers’ plant-based DWR. All three offerings are adjustable at the cuffs, hem and hood, for a comfy fit and feature plenty of pockets to keep essentials close at hand. The Morely can be worn either as an outer- or mid-layer under a waterproof jacket, helping to keep you warm and dry.

Each garment in the new range is designed to offer the wearer maximum mobility

Base layers

The Craghoppers Workwear range also features three soft-to-the-touch base layers: the Wakefield Pocket Workwear T-Shirt; Batley Workwear T-Shirt; and the Oulston Workwear Hoodie. Each garment is made from organic cotton and designed to offer maximum mobility. This is particularly relevant with the Oulston, which has extra panelling to the shoulder and arms, allowing the wearer to reach higher. 

Legwear features useful additions such as various pockets, articulated knees and a hammer loop

Legwear

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 16 pockets in total, including an RFID security pocket and removable holster pockets, these trousers also benefit from articulated knees, a hammer loop and various other helpful additions, which help to make these trousers an 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, they feature triangle reinforcement stitching to the crotch, which helps prevent splitting, and the addition of odour control patches ensures 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.

Caroline Sheehan, Designer for Craghoppers Workwear, says: “The key focus for each piece of workwear in this collection was centred around style, comfort and durability, which 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, such as our plant-based DWRs and use of part-recycled materials. This helped 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.”
