Because not all tradespeople are created equal, Milwaukee has enhanced its workwear portfolio to now include women’s job site apparel, an expansion that the company said combines the performance and comfort women in trades need on the job in an optimally tailored fit.
“Despite seeing significant increases of tradeswomen across industries in recent years, their options for sufficient job site apparel have remained stagnant,” commented Nadia Sinner, Milwaukee Product Manager. “Through working directly with tradeswomen to uncover their frustrations with current job site apparel, Milwaukee is delivering solutions specifically tailored for women on the job. Our design process consists of extensive jobsite research, product seeding, and rigorous product testing to ensure durable apparel that is fitted and designed specifically for tradeswomen by tradeswomen.”
The line of clothing for women in the trades—everything denoted below—is not being released until sometime in January 2025, per Milwaukee.
However, we will see the introduction of three new shirts, a sweatshirt, and two pairs of pants for women on the job site.
A part of the workwear collections, GRIDIRON, FREEFLEX, and WORKSKIN, these solutions are dedicated to solving frustrations in comfort, movement, and protection from the elements.
This initial expansion for women’s workwear includes additions to the GRIDIRON and FREEFLEX collections, with plans to expand the WORKSKIN collection. These products are engineered with a focus on the trades, ensuring apparel to benefit productivity in all job site conditions.
Women’s Workwear Shirts & Hoodies
Part of the GRIDIRON collection, the Women’s Short Sleeve Pocket Tee and Women’s Short Sleeve Logo Tee are built to survive and engineered for broken-in comfort.
Designed with women in mind, these tees provide a relaxed fit, delivering plenty of room to move around the job site.
Constructed with a durable, reliable six-ounce cotton/poly blend, these tees provide all-day protection on the job and are equipped with anti-odor and moisture-wicking technologies.
As an expansion to the FREEFLEX collection, Milwaukee’s new Women’s Short Sleeve Hybrid Tee is built for movement. Engineered for mobility and easy layering, this hybrid tee provides natural stretch and a forward shoulder design without sacrificing durability.
Also, a part of the expansion, Milwaukee is announcing the Women’s FREEFLEX Midweight Pullover Hoodie, which is designed to layer comfortably. The hoodie provides season versatility and features reinforced pockets for secure storage, a three-panel hood for superior fit and protection, and forward shoulder construction for enhanced mobility and comfort. Designed for durability and flexibility, this hoodie ensures freedom of movement and reliable performance while working in tough conditions.
Pants
Leveraging extensive user research, Milwaukee will be offering two new work pants for tradeswomen equipped with requested storage solutions and everyday go-to features by tradeswomen in the field.
The Women’s Double Knee Jogger Pants, also a part of the GRIDIRON collection, are designed for extended life in rugged conditions. The high-rise, straight fit, built-in stretch, and waistband integrated with elastic provide a comfortable fit and freedom to move while working. These work pants feature seven deep, reinforced pockets at the front, back, and right leg, providing secure storage for tools and essentials, while nylon-reinforced clip-on zones on the front and left pockets offer quick access to additional storage. The wide belt loops with a utility loop ensure a comfortable, stable fit, with added versatility for attaching tools and accessories.
Expanding within Milwaukee’s core workwear portfolio, the new Women’s Work Pants are built from a tear- and-abrasion-resistant fabric that provides broken-in comfort right off the shelf. With a high-rise, straight fit, and integrated stretch, this work pant allows tradeswomen to stay productive without stiffness. These work pants are engineered with triple-stitched seams, dedicated tool clip-on zones, seven durable and deep pockets, wide belt loops, and a reinforced kick plate.
Milwaukee is committed to addressing the challenges of comfort, mobility, and protection from the elements in jobsite apparel for tradesmen and tradeswomen.
These products are engineered with a focus on the trades, ensuring solutions that enhance productivity in all job site conditions.
