Portwest PW243 PW2 Work Bib and Brace
Portwest PW243 PW2 Bib and Brace is two-tone everyday workwear for trade, maintenance and facilities teams. The fabric combines 65% polyester with 35% cotton at 245 g/m².
Seven pockets provide practical storage, with a hammer loop and double rule pocket for organising small tools and essentials. The ID pocket can be displayed or concealed, depending on the workplace uniform arrangement.
An anti-scratch design avoids exposed metal parts, helping reduce hard trim contact with sensitive finished surfaces. Triple-stitched seams reinforce the construction, and practical side access supports dressing.
Black/red, black/zoom grey and navy/royal are listed in sizes S–3XL. Check fit and freedom of movement over normal work layers. This is general workwear; choose separately certified garments where the task requires flame, chemical or visibility protection.
