Engineered for Performance

The Portwest Bolton Painters Bib N Brace is a specialized garment designed specifically for the decorating and painting trades. Constructed from 100% heavyweight cotton at 305gsm, this fabric is chosen for its superior absorption capabilities, preventing paint spills and splatters from soaking through to the wearer's skin or underclothes. The cotton is pre-shrunk, ensuring that the garment maintains its size and shape even after repeated washing at high temperatures (up to 60°C), which is essential for removing stubborn paint, paste, and chemical residues. The hardware is equally considered; plastic non-corrosive buckles are utilized to prevent rusting when washed or exposed to damp environments, ensuring the longevity of the fastening system. With a UPF 50+ rating, it also offers protection for decorators working on exterior facades. This garment is a fortress against the mess of the trade, and for complete protection, we recommend pairing it with our specialized Hand Protection range to keep skin safe from solvents.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Decorating requires a full range of motion, reaching high corners and crouching for skirting boards. The Bolton Bib N Brace addresses this with an elasticated back section and adjustable straps that allow for unrestricted bending and stretching. The 'bib and brace' style eliminates the issue of waistbands digging in or shirts coming untucked, providing a seamless barrier against debris. Storage is paramount for a painter; this suit features a large front pouch pocket for easy access to sanding blocks or cloths, a secure zip pocket for valuables, and a dedicated ruler pocket. Crucially, the inclusion of knee pad pockets allows for the integration of cushioning, transforming the garment into a kneeling mat that moves with the user—vital for preventing long-term knee damage during flooring or skirting work. The unisex design ensures it is a versatile option for the entire workforce.
