Winter warmers
16 December 2014
Dickies has a range of workwear designed for warmth. The company's thermal underwear, for example, provides comfort, with the base layer thermal long johns a modern variation of a traditional product.

Designed with a highly breathable fabric that will help to regulate body temperature whatever the working conditions, they can be teamed with the base layer vest for total body coverage.
Dickies' coats and work jackets are manufactured to suit varying levels of cold, wet and wintery working conditions, with lightweight waterproof clothing for wet days, as well as thick, padded winter work coats to combat the cold.
A popular and practical option is a black work coat. Dickies' Fulton contract jacket, for example, is waterproof to 3000mm, has stitched and taped seams, a zip front with a storm cuff, two welt pockets, one zip chest pocket, zip embroidery access and cuff adjusters.
Another jacket is the Thornley jacket, with fabric that is waterproof and breathable to 3000mm. It has a detachable hood with front cord adjusters, knitted inner cuffs, is lightly padded, and has an inside zipped pocket, a mobile phone pocket and zip embroidery access.
The Hudson jacket, which is a 3-in-1 jacket, can be worn with a fleece, without a fleece or just a fleece on its own, has a front zip with storm flap, two lower zipped pockets, internal zip pocket, adjustable cuffs, is waterproof to 2000mm with a concealed hood.
Dickies has recently introduced a two-tone range. This has been designed to sit across all Dickies collections. The new parka jacket is a key piece in the collection: key features include a removable hood, removable fur and a tail hem for extra back warmth. Double access lower pockets keep the hands warm when not working and the nylon taslon fabric makes this parka waterproof to 1000mm, durable but also light to wear. Inside the coat there is a Sherpa collar lining to keep the neck warm, along with Dickies branded tape details.
