Dickies Have 'Got You Covered' With Eisenhower Professional

One of the World's largest work wear specialists and manufacturers, Dickies (UK) Limited, has added a new top-of-the-range, stylish and tough, jacket and trouser set to their 2009 catalogue.

Called 'Eisenhower Professional', the new products are made from a combination of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, enhanced by 'Nanotex' - a revolutionary technology that results in a fabric which resists or repels stains.

The trouser knee pad enclosures, which take the hardest of wear, incorporate 'Armortex', a fabric which uses a nylon or polyester base that is reinforced with 'Kevair' brand fibre.

Armortex is water and dirt repellent and adds strength and protection whilst still allowing for maximum freedom of movement.

Of particular value to floor and carpet layers, tilers and other similar trades, the trousers are further strengthened by the use of Cordura, a high performance fabric that is extremely resistant to tearing, scuffing and abrasion and this is used especially in the inside of the tool pockets.

Other practical features include hammer loops, removable multi-pockets, kneepad pouches which accommodate Dickies knee pads (available separately, code no: SA66), and hemguards.

In Black only, the Eisenhower Professional Jacket (Code No: EH30500) is available in sizes M, L, XL and XXL and the Eisenhower Professional Trousers (Code No: EH30000), in Waist 30"- 40" and leg 32" - 42".
