Makita Workwear Launches in the UK – Premium Performance Gear from the Power Tool Giant

Construction News Image

Makita, the global leader in professional power tools, has officially launched its own workwear range in the UK.

Bringing the same no-compromise engineering philosophy that made Makita tools legendary on sites worldwide, the new Makita Workwear collection is built for real working conditions – tough, comfortable, stylish and engineered for performance.

Built for Those Who Expect More

Makita Workwear is a stand-alone premium brand developed in partnership with Makita UK. It raises the standard for modern trade clothing with tougher fabrics, smarter details and a cleaner finish.

Made for professionals who expect more from their kit, the range delivers the same dependability tradespeople already trust from Makita tools — now with added performance, comfort and style.

Priced to reflect its upgraded specification and the strength of the Makita name, it is positioned to compete directly with established premium workwear brands.

Engineered for Comfort, Strength and Sustainability

The collection features advanced technical fabrics and thoughtful design, with many styles incorporating:

• Recycled fibres

• BCI cotton

• PFC-free durable water-repellent finishes

• CORDURA® reinforcements for extra durability

• YKK® zips throughout (even on pockets)

• Ripstop fabrics for strength without added weight

Key Products in the Launch Range

The initial collection includes a strong selection of everyday essentials:

• Origin T-Shirts – 220gsm BCI cotton, naturally breathable

• Tech T-Shirts – 165gsm recycled polyester, moisture-wicking with reflective branding

• Origin Hoodies – soft brushed fleece with zipped pouch pocket

• Shield Bodywarmer & Jacket – 300gsm insulation with rip-stop nylon

• Aero Jacket – lightweight waterproof PU-coated polyester with taped seams

• Axis Stretch Joggers – 4-way stretch fabric with reinforced knees

• Makita Safety Boots & Trainers – EN ISO 20345 certified protective footwear offering excellent comfort, durability and all-day support

Women's versions are available across key styles (including the Shield Jacket and Axis Stretch Jogger), ensuring a proper female fit rather than a scaled-down men's cut.

Built for the Trade

Makita Workwear is now available in the UK at TuffShop.co.uk

Whether you're a carpenter, electrician, groundworker, site operative or maintenance engineer, the range is designed to keep you comfortable, protected and looking professional from the first wear to the last.
