And now, some things that you absolutely should think about when your aim is to find the perfect craftsman pants for yourself.  

– Make towering demands and set the bar high – get the perfect pants.  

– Choose pants based on professional role.  

– Choose pants and equipment based on physical strain. 

- If you have a demanding craftsman job you should choose a pair of pants that meet all the requirements you have, both in durability and function.  

– If you have a less demanding craftsman profession, comfort and flexibility should be at the top of the list of criteria. We offer pants with stretch panels that make working days as smooth as a Saturday in the sun.  

– Always try the pants out, and then try again. This is how you get “your” size.  

– Finding YOUR size will considerably extend the lifetime of the pants. 

- Wash your craftsman pants from Blåkläder regularly. It makes them last even longer. 

– Our garments keep what they promise because we always choose the most durable fabrics and components for achieving the highest quality, and that’s a fact. 

– We take pride in our commitment lifetime guarantee* on the seams of our garments, and so should you. In other words: you don’t have to worry.  


And to end things off, here’s a shortlist of our three best tips for extending the life of our craftsman pants: 

 - Choose the RIGHT size, otherwise, the work pants will wear out much faster. 

 - Follow the washing instructions carefully and wash the pants often. 

 - Do not buy garments that are made of lesser quality materials and at a cheaper price, buy quality instead.  

* WHAT DOES THE LIFETIME GUARANTEE ON SEAMS MEAN? 
If the seams of a garment split, we’ll repair or replace them. The warranty does not cover seams that split due to mechanical damage that tears or cuts the seam because of contact with sharp edges or tools, or if the fabric is otherwise worn out from general wear. Please return the item to the retailer where you bought the garment. All garments must be returned to the retailer at the buyer’s expense before a garment can be repaired or replaced.
