Behind the T2 WerkPant: Where Performance Meets the Jobsite

Behind the T2 WerkPant: Where Performance Meets the Jobsite

The T2 WerkPant wasn’t designed to blend in. It was built to stand up to weather, movement, and the demands of modern work.

At TRUEWERK, we believe technical innovation shouldn’t be reserved for athletes. The people who build, fix, and create deserve the same level of performance from their gear. That’s why we took the best elements of outdoor apparel—stretch, breathability, water resistance—and engineered them for the realities of the jobsite.

The result is more than just a work pant. It’s a tool that works as hard as you do.

Inspired by Performance Gear, Built for Real Work

The inspiration for the T2 WerkPant came from the world of mountain guides, climbers, and field engineers—people who need gear that performs in motion.

TRUEWERK's founder Brian Ciciora, a lifetime climber and skier, was very familiar with similar styles of climbing pants. He'd spent enough winters building homes in the Colorado mountains to grow tired of watching his denim or canvas pant legs freeze and thaw throughout the day, wondering why there was a lack of modern fabrics in workwear apparel.

A Mission Born from the Trades

“In 2015, my experience in the trades led to the frustration of the severely lacking technical performance of American workwear,” Brian says. “I knew the emerging fabric technology used for outdoor apparel could benefit an underserved market: the American trade professional. If you go back 150 years to when Levi Strauss patented the rivet, workwear was the most technical apparel in the United States, but the industry hasn’t kept up with advancements in modern fabrics. It’s our mission to bring workwear back to that gold standard in apparel performance.”

That mission, to raise the standard of workwear through innovation and purpose, continues to guide every product we make.

Designed with Intention

  • Double-woven softshell fabric for the perfect balance of durability and comfort.
  • Four-way stretch that moves with your body, not against it.
  • Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating to shed rain, mud, and spills.
  • Streamlined fit and low-bulk seams for all-day mobility and a clean, modern look.
  • Tapered leg and articulated knees designed for movement on ladders, lifts, and everything in between.

This isn’t a reinvention of the work pant. It’s the evolution.

Redefining What Workwear Can Be

TRUEWERK was founded on one simple belief: performance workwear should empower the modern professional. The T2 WerkPant embodies that mission. It’s built to adapt to the weather, to the task, and to the people who never clock out until the job’s done right.

From concrete pours to cold-morning setups, from job sites to after-hours projects, the T2 WerkPant delivers the freedom to move, the protection to perform, and the confidence to take on what’s next.
