In addition, a further 92 additional trouser sizes can be made on a special order basis. This enables companies to purchase uniform for employees of all shapes and sizes. “Our special made-to-order sizes come in seven leg lengths rather than five – with the addition of 2XS (24”-26” leg length) and 2XL (38”-40” leg length). Across all seven leg lengths we can make trousers which start at a 25” waist and go up to 69” waist. These can be ordered in any of our 29 trouser styles in any of the standard colour options for that style.” There is a surcharge for any made-to-order sizes and customer should expect a lead time of approximately eight weeks. www.snickersworkwear.co.uk
