Is Scruffs work wear decent quality despite the low price?

Posted by DullInflation6@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 13 comments

I've seen quite a bit of Scruffs branded clothing of late and I like the hardwearing look of it (it's work wear after all) and the price. Curious to hear if anyone has used their gear? Seems like the price means it would be low quality but looks better than that in the shop. I'm looking for hard wearing clothing rather than for using it for work (I work in an office after all!). Cheers

Late to the party here, but yes. I've been wearing scruffs gear for work for years, it's really good and lasts ages.

I used to swear by their 3D trousers. They were the only work trousers that ever fitted properly.

Just seems to last for age, well made. I have the steel toed trainers, which is 10x better than heavy boots. The polo tops are amazing, look smart and comfy. I had their winter hat/gloves/scarf kit as well. I would assume most of their stuff is good.

Yup, got some of their workboots. Comfy and safe - stood on nails, dropped bricks on em - doing great.

Yes, very much so. I tried a bunch of shorts from Screwfix at the start of summer (Why oh why I have waited this long to get proper work shorts!) and Scruffs was by far the best of the usual Screwfix fare - vs DeWalt, Site etc. Really really chuffed with them, great material. Thinking of switching a few other bits out to Scruffs now (Don't go on constructions sites or anything nowadays, just a hardcore DIYer)
