Wrangler RIGGS Workwear Adds Fall Layers for Plant and Dock Crews

Abrasion-resistant pants, an insulated vest, and vented shirts suit maintenance and dock work.

Colder weather means layering season for anyone working in docks, yards, unheated warehouses, or maintenance shops. Wrangler's RIGGS Workwear line includes several new styles built for durability and mobility, from abrasion-resistant pants to an insulated vest.

RIGGS Workwear Insulated Work Vest:

The insulated vest has a water-repellent finish and a zip front with an interior storm flap and chin guard to block wind. It also includes hand-warmer pockets and a secure interior pocket. $80

RIGGS Workwear Performance Ripstop Ranger Cargo Pant:

The cargo pant features Power Guard fabric for twice the abrasion resistance of untreated fabric, according to Wrangler; a diamond gusset for better mobility; extra-deep 12" pockets; back pockets with 500D nylon-lined reinforcements; and utility loops. $65

RIGGS Workwear Foreman Plaid Work Shirt:

This relaxed-fit work shirt works as a base layer under a vest or jacket. Underarm gussets and a mesh-lined back yoke vent heat during active work, and the cotton-blend fabric has some stretch. $45

RIGGS Workwear Performance Workhorse Jean:

Built like the cargo pant, the jeans have a relaxed fit, a diamond gusset, and 500D nylon-lined back pockets, plus a tape-measure patch and multiple utility loops. They're made from a cotton blend with some stretch. $50

RIGGS Workwear Relaxed Henley:

Made from 100% cotton, this relaxed-fit henley shirt comes with a tagless label and vented side seams for airflow, as well as a chest pocket with a hidden utility loop. $30

These are everyday work clothes, best suited to maintenance, shipping and receiving, docks, yards, and general plant work. None of the pieces are flame-resistant or high-visibility rated, so they aren't a substitute for required PPE in welding, hot work, or electrical environments. The relaxed fits and utility loops may also conflict with dress codes around rotating machinery.
