THE WORKWEAR FIT Generously Cut for Unrestricted Movement Manual labor requires the same range of motion as any other self-powered outdoor activity, but the stretch fabrics used in many technical outdoor garments don’t have the strength and abrasion resistance needed for the most strenuous work. To allow unrestricted movement with heavier-weight fabrics, we’ve given our Workwear a roomy fit compared to most Patagonia styles. Pants fit true to waist size but are wide through the legs; jackets are cut bigger than standard for ease over body and leave ample room for layering. Men who have a leaner build or don’t wear bulky layers may want to order Workwear jackets one size smaller than usual.
Broader through the shoulders and chest
Roomy through the torso for ease over thicker layers
True to size at the waist
Relaxed seat and thighs for increased mobility
Wide through the legs to prevent binding at the knees
Lower leg is cut straight to ankle; cuffs fit over boots or can be tucked in
