Virtuemart Frontline Clothing WK Supertrouser
WK Supertrouser
Our original 12oz canvas HD Dreadnought trousers have passed into urban legend as the trousers which stood up by themselves. We still make them but frankly they are a little full on for summer use so in 2004 we embarked on a new direction in super trousers, the WK's, what we think may be some of the best work pants on the planet.
Conceived to embody the original Dreadnought's toughness, but with more all-round appeal and casual style, these trousers are beautifully constructed from 12oz European poly cotton canvas for durability, pockets in just the right places, and an articulated knee for freedom of movement, our testing has shown these to be a great item whether you are lounging in the sun at the Rippon music festival or house building through a cold winter. We've made a substantially greater size range than normal, XXS through to XXL, so that no-one needs to miss out.
When you get these you'll be a little shocked by the stiffness of the fabric. Have faith - after a few wash and a bit of wear cycles they soften to something like thick soft denim - and they'll stay that way for longer than any other pair of pants you'll ever own; truly pants that wear in, not out.
Custom Length pants are available in all colours. We try to hold stock however there may be a lead time of up to 6 weeks for some colours and sizes.
Custom leg lengths are available from -10cm shorter to +10cm longer. The leg lengths of the standard WK's fit 95% of people just fine, but for those of you who need extra length, please specify this as part of the checkout procedure. It sets you back $15 extra, which just covers the cost of hemming them.
Antelope is the darker of the two browns - kind of a nice chocolate colour.
- Proofed European 12oz C-Canvas is great to wear and will last for ages

- Use mild detergent or pure soap (preferably one that's nice to the earth)
- Our canvas has a water resistant coating which can shift and discolour through the initial break in period
- For best results handwash until the garment is broken in machine washing is fine after this
- Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
- Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
- If you get attacked by a pig and the fabric gets holed while saving your reproductive potential send it back and we'll patch it

I love you Cactus. When I'm bashing through thick matagouri in my supertrousers and dupergaiters with my foray pack on my back, its good to know I'll
be sweet as. Unlike my mate with 100% nylon, who just took an expensive detour through the scrub.

I have had my Wk's for about 6 months and I love them!
Unlike most of the other reviews, I don't work in the outdoors, building sites, waste
work, quarry's etc... I have a soft desk job, but these puppies are still stylish enough to wear in the office (and out and about).
I
have used these on a number of photo shoots, and they have served me well when knealing in rocky puddles, heavy downpours, mud and tramping. They have
even kept me dry as a bone while everyone around me has been drenched.
I simply love these - my wife can't get me out of them. We are
moving to the UK in a few weeks, and I tried to convince her that I need a backup pair. She said I can only get some if I can tell her how these ones
would possibly wear out... unfortunately I cant think of a way to answer that - these are invincible!

Sarah (my GF) and I both have a pair of dreadnaught wks. They are quite simply the most awesome trousers and both of us are doing our best to put them
to the test. The only feature that would be handy is a second pocket on the back. Sarah was also stoked that you were able to extend the length of
hers (she’s 6ft 2) in such a short time.

Heaving huge blocks of rock into place, digging in the mud, driving tractors, skateboarding, climbing hundreds of metres of scratchy dolerite [just
hold off the epic high-steps for the first six months], then straight out on the town after a full days working in the dirt. Anyone say versatile?

Supertrousers indeed!
