Welcome to our blog!

In this vlog, we hear the voices of customers on why they love their T2 WerkPants. Whether it's because you need more durability, want a fabric that stretches and moves with you or are just sick of the way your denim and duck interferes on the jobsite with comfort and efficiency -- Truewerk's T2 WerkPants eliminate all the problems and deliver on all the promises of a modern, advanced, professional performance-driven work pant.

As our CEO Brian says, “The magic of the T2 WerkPant lies in our proprietary double-woven softshell material which enables us to combine two very different surfaces into a single layer of tightly woven fabric. Exceptionally soft and durable on the inside and tough and water resistant on the outside.”

It’s not the late 1800s anymore, yet workwear seems to be stuck in those eras. Our infrastructure, tools and the technology have modernized -- so shouldn’t our workwear? Cotton canvas, duck and denim are the technology of the past. They’re the fabrics that should be living on only in black and white photos like these when it comes to use on the job site. 

Check out Aneesa Winn of Tree Chic LLC in the video below.  Aneesa journey into being an arborist was natural. She always enjoyed anything that was creative and hands-on and like to see the difference that she makes. Plus, always liked working outside.  When she found out that some people climb trees for a living, she knew that's what she would end up doing.  

Check out Patrick Letourneau of Blackbird Finish Carpentry in the video below. His story is like many of ours. His dad was a builder and he realized he wanted to get into building, but didn't have a longterm plan. In 2012, he saw someone framing a house, stopped and asked him for a job and he started the following Monday. Fast forward and six years later, Blackbird Finish Carpentry was born and Letourneau has been involved in the many facets of the trade from framing furniture to cabinetry ever since. 

Stuck in outdated perceptions of what it means to be a modern skilled tradesperson, 55% percent of those students believe it’s more respectable to have an office job than a job working with your hands. It’s easy to view something as a back-up plan, when it’s only ever presented as a back-up plan.

We chatted with Damien Edwards, the founder of Construction Management Podcast and Builder Tactics (both focus on inspiring and educating professionals in construction) to pick his brain about best practices and advice for people looking to move up, build knowledge and improve themselves.  If you’re not getting the respect that you think you should and are hoping to increase your professionalism, Damien has got your back. Plus, he shares some basic life tips like “attitude is everything” that help elevate the trades. Check out the video and our high-level Q&A below! 

With colleges and universities gearing up to face the challenges of COVID-19, we thought “back-to-school” season was the perfect time to highlight some of the various paths into tradework. But before we do, we know that most of our community knows how they got into the trades.  This blog isn’t to tell you something you already know, it’s for your children, nieces and nephews and family friends who might be the next rock star plumber, electrician or HVAC technician that could use this information to build an awesome life for themselves.

Things have been heatin’ up across the nation -- literally. From our home base in Denver, temperatures this July have been reaching over 95 degrees daily and we’re lucky compared to other places. With most of our sidewalks hot enough to fry breakfast on, the heat and how to stay healthy/safe in it continues to be top of mind for Truewerk and our customers. We’ve rounded up the resources, tips and facts you need to do just that. 

We’re not experts on the importance of hydration at Truewerk, so we talked with someone who is. Dr. Missy Albrecht is the owner of Invincible and a doctor of physical therapy focusing on helping people move better from the outside in and inside out through self care, education and movement. 

The struggles of sunscreen on the job site? All too familiar, but the sun is a significant threat for those that work and play outside, so protection is crucial for living a long, healthy life.  We sat down with Brian Ciciora, Truewerk's Founder and President, who also leads product design, so he could share the inspiration for the T.5 WerkHoody and the nearly two-year journey in finding the perfect fabric to create the piece we sell today that embodies the nature of what you do and what it means to be an industrial athlete.

It’s officially that time of year. When the sun’s heat seems to taunt our every move outside, sweat starts dripping down your forehead before you’ve even arrived at the job site and cold showers are suddenly a welcomed luxury...yeah, we all know the feeling. Say hello to July, which according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the warmest 31 days for most of the country. In 2019, July was even the hottest month on record for the entire planet.  Those types of high temperatures come with an ample amount of obstacles to staying healthy while working outside. Obstacles that--if not prepared for--can leave a lasting impact long after the summer’s heat recedes.
