Painters' Overalls
Painters' overalls provide practical coverage for painting and decorating work. Bib-and-brace overalls combine trousers with a front bib and adjustable shoulder straps, giving you comfortable coverage while leaving your arms free to move.
They're a popular choice for decorators and often feature multiple pockets for tools and essentials.
Painters' Trousers
We stock painters' trousers designed for regular painting and decorating work, with durable fabrics and practical features such as pockets, reinforced knees and knee-pad compatibility.
Choose from different styles and lengths to find a comfortable fit for the job, whether you're a professional painter or taking on a DIY project.
Painters' Shorts
Painters' shorts offer a lightweight alternative to full-length trousers in warmer conditions. Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics to help you stay cool while allowing ease of movement on the job.
Painters' Jackets
Painters' jackets provide an additional layer for cooler or outdoor decorating work. Depending on the garment, features such as windproof or showerproof materials, stretch and flexible construction can provide additional comfort and protection from the weather.

Knee pads provide extra cushioning when working on hard surfaces or kneeling for extended periods. Some painters' trousers and overalls include dedicated knee-pad pockets for easy insertion and removal.
Painters' Gloves
Painters' gloves can help protect your hands while providing grip and dexterity during painting and decorating tasks. When working with paints, solvents or other chemicals, check the product label or safety data sheet and the manufacturer's guidance to make sure the gloves are suitable.
