Our design philosophy

FUNCTION FIRST

To us, function is more than just utility; it is a combination of the right fit and function-first design. Ensuring the right fit for industry takes into consideration any specific workplace requirements and certifications to meet the demands of different industries. The right fit for the wearer concerns the fit of the clothing to the body, offering maximum freedom of movement, comfort, protection and durability. Function first is our design philosophy. We believe that the utility of a garment should be intuitive, so there is a place for everything and everything is in its place.

To us, the details are not simply the details, they make the design. Every detail is considered from the placement of pockets to ensure things are within easy reach, to smart functional features such as click-on/click-off hanging tool pockets that can easily transfer from one garment to another, to reinforced CORDURA® material where it is needed most, so garments withstand the demands of daily wear. The result of combining the right fit with function-first design, is a line of workwear that is truly fit for purpose; making the working day for professional tradesmen and women as easy, efficient, safe and comfortable as possible.

Collaborating with the best in the business, we also have the knowledge of trade and industry to ensure that ENGEL Workwear meets industry standards, international certifications and the demands of each type of craftsman, so it performs optimally for their trade. From our decades of textile production comes a deep understanding of which materials to use for different purposes, catering to differing workplace demands. Blending function-first design with this material expertise, ENGEL workwear is designed to protect, engineered for comfort and made to last. The result is numerous patented designs and award-winning collections, since 1927.

Passion for a craft

Every stitch considered. What began as a passion for trade and industry has led to the production of functional workwear, since 1927. Our years of experience, development and expertise in textile innovation, combined with our deep knowledge of trade and industry requirements, are woven into the core of the ENGEL Workwear collection. With the knowledge and know- how required, our dedicated team knows exactly where to use a single, double or triple stitch to strengthen the structure of a garment, offer increased mobility to the wearer or complement the fibres of a chosen fabric for a specific wearing purpose.

This experience drives us to push the boundaries of fit, comfort and functionality to meet the modern-day demands of versatility and all-day wear. We collaborate with professional tradesmen and women on the job to ensure our products are fit for industry demands. Every product is tested and this valuable feedback–from the position, number and size of pockets, to the length of jackets and trousers, to the ease of transferring hanging tool pockets from one garment to another, to the placement of concealed buttons and zippers for attire which could come in contact with delicate materials or surfaces–is designed into the range. We also consider the human form and carefully select the right fabric, cut and placement of every detail down to the last stitch, for workwear that delivers maximum comfort, mobility and durability.
