Three new products for tradespeople and construction professionals
An essential item, workwear trousers should no longer be limited to their protective function alone. To meet the day-to-day needs of tradespeople and construction professionals, Molinel is launching Tekmove, a bi-stretch style designed for all purposes. The French specialist in workwear is also updating its two iconic styles, Moovy and Explore, which are now available in GOTS®-certified organic cotton. Molinel is thus reaffirming its commitment to evolving workwear essentials, combining comfort, durability, longevity and environmental responsibility.
TEKMOVE, DESIGNED FOR MOVEMENT
Whether on building sites or out on call, tradespeople and construction professionals are constantly changing their posture and performing technical tasks. To keep pace with their busy days, Molinel is launching Tekmove, a pair of stretch trousers that offer great freedom of movement.
The trousers feature the brand’s signature technical and functional details: a tape measure pocket, a hammer loop, a zipped side pocket, a knee pad pocket compliant with EN 14404, a reinforced back panel for better support, and reflective piping to enhance visibility. Areas most prone to wear and tear are reinforced with coated Cordura®.
MOOVY TROUSERS NOW AVAILABLE IN A GOTS® VERSION
For committed craftspeople, Molinel is updating two of its signature trouser styles: Moovy and Explore. These styles are now made from a more sustainable fabric, comprising 98% GOTS®-certified organic cotton and 2% elastane, for greater flexibility.
With its unisex cut and adventurous spirit, Moovy is lightweight, comfortable and durable. Available in five colours – navy, khaki, black, Atlantic blue and sand – it is suitable for a wide range of craft trades. It also features numerous functional details: a semi-elasticated waistband, tapered leg cuffs and plenty of pockets...
THE EXPLORE TROUSERS EVOLVE WITH GOTS®-CERTIFIED COTTON
The Explore trousers feature the same fabric upgrade. Available in grey and taupe, they combine comfort, durability and flexibility to meet the everyday needs of professionals in the craft and construction sectors. They retain their technical features: multiple pockets, knee reinforcements and a back gusset. The switch to GOTS®-certified cotton is also part of Molinel’s commitment to the responsible transformation of its workwear essentials.

WORKWEAR TROUSERS: MUCH MORE THAN JUST PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
In the construction and trades sectors, work trousers are an integral part of every day’s work. They must protect, be durable, remain comfortable and adapt to the specific demands of each trade. Professionals who work on the ground tend to prefer knee pockets and reinforced areas. Outdoor trades look for hard-wearing styles, sometimes featuring reflective elements. Jobs involving a lot of movement tend to favour stretch or bi-stretch fabrics, to enhance comfort without compromising on fit.
The choice of materials is also becoming a key consideration. Cotton, poly-cotton, stretch, bi-stretch or certified fibres: each fabric offers a different balance between comfort, fit, durability and environmental impact. Workwear trousers are thus undergoing a two-fold evolution: better supporting professionals in the field, whilst gradually incorporating more sustainable materials.
