Our Fabric
We make all our classic styles from a heavy duty 310 gsm 100% Fairtrade cotton drill, with a lightly brushed finished. This means it’s heavy duty, breathable and soft to the touch.
As this is natural material, this fabric does have its limitations: like most 100% cottons, with constant wear, tear and laundering, the cotton can weaken over time. So whilst our styles are designed for long term, day to day use, if you are kneeling on abrasive surfaces regularly, we suggest investing in some knee pads to avoid rips and holes.
Sizing Tips
The Construction Pants have a snug fit through the waist and a wide leg. We suggest if your prefer a looser fit, to size up.
We’ve designed this guide to make choosing your size as simple and accurate as possible, based on both our measurements and real customer fittings.
Our sizing follows Australian numerical sizing. As there’s no universal standard across brands, your size may vary elsewhere. This guide is the best way to find your fit in SÜK.
Find Your Size
1. Measure your body
Bust – measure around the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape measure firm and straight, wrap it under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
Waist – measure around your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso that sits above your hips, where you would like the waistline of your new gear to sit.
Hips - measure the fullest part of your hips and bum.
2. Use your largest measurement
Match your measurements to the chart below using your largest measurement (this is usually your hips).
This ensures the garment fits comfortably across your body.
3. Consider how you like your fit & adjust for your body
Prefer a firm fit? You can size down
Prefer a relaxed fit? Size Up
Between sizes? Most customers choose the larger size for comfort and the ability to cinch the waist using the adjusters
Important: Where you wear your waistband
All our styles are designed to sit high on the waist (except our Mid-Rise Cargo Pants).
Wear them high-waisted → stay true to size or size down
Wear them mid or low rise → consider sizing up or measure where you would like them to sit and compare this measurement to the waist measurement in the chart
All our garments have waist adjusters, allowing the waist to be brought in by up to 10cm.
Real Fit Insights
From our in-store fittings and customer feedback:
Looking for a firm fit? You can size down in our Cotton Drill. This is because the fabric will relax with wear
In-between sizes? Most customers size up when between sizes for comfort, and the waist can be cinched in for a great fit.
Your height and torso length matter: taller customers may prefer more room through the rise and size up

Body Length for Suits (Short vs Long)
Some suits are available in short body and long body options. This refers to your torso length, not your height or inseam length.
If you usually get a wedgie in a jumpsuit, get the LONG BODY
Never had this issue before, get the SHORT BODY
Generally, if you are taller than 180cm, we recommend the Brumby or Roper suits with adjustable straps for extra torso length, and double-check the inseam length will work for you.
The SÜK team says: “Our staff like to size down from their pants sizing for a snug fit in our Brumby, Lagoon and Yard suits. Our Roper and Ringer suits are already fitted and true to size”
Garment Measurements
We provide individual garment measurements on every single one of our items! If you're someone who loves that extra detail, please have a read on the specific garment page. We also try to display the size each model is wearing and their measurements to help you.
These measurements are taken from the flattened physical garment, and then doubled to achieve an accurate measurement. Each chart is specific to each individual style. There is a variation of 1-2cm per garment, as our styles are prewashed and pre-shrunk before we send them to you.
You can use the garment measurements and measure an existing comfy item of clothing and compare it to our chart.
Fabric Notes
Drill: Durable and classic. We recommend an initial firm fit, as our cotton relaxes with wear. It’s similar to true denim, where the fibres soften the more you wear it. Washing will help bring it back to its original firmness.
Denim: Our denim offers the most reliable, true-to-size fit. It has a natural give that conforms to your body over time while maintaining its shape. If you are buying Denim, order your standard size.
Canvas: Built for heavy-duty protection, our Canvas is a thick, highly rigid material with zero stretch. It requires a break-in period. Fit Tip: If you need more room for bending and moving, or if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Ripstop: Lightweight but incredibly tough, Ripstop is a zero-stretch fabric. Because it does not yield around the hips or waist, we strongly recommend sizing up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser, more comfortable fit for active work.
Measuring Tips
Measure in your underwear where possible Keep the tape firm but not tight Ensure the tape sits flat
Style Note
All our pants are designed to be worn higher on your waist, no plumbers’ crack here. Wearing them lower on your hips may change how the size feels. Remember, the waist is adjustable on all our garments.

So I thought I’d wait to give the most honest and real review and from Apprentice to Tradie I live in these , so good and as you can tell I wear my suk pants hard and with slight fray at the bottom and colour fade I thoroughly enjoy these and often wearing them for 8-10 hrs a day .
Over time , they soften and the spacious pockets are handy as a Sparky .
Thanks ☺️
The construction pants cotton drill is soft but feels tough wearing. Love putting my mobile in the back pocket. They make me feel like getting down to work and splashing paint around !
I live in rural NSW on acreage
I live in my SUK gear
At home or going to town, I LOVE them 🖤
Long shorts (5) for spring/summer/autumn
Construction pants (5) for autumn/winter/spring
They're excellent for skating 🛹
I have const pants in blue, black, hickory, burgundy, pink and hunter green. I wear blue and black for work and the other colours for fun. They are very comfortable and durable. One time I somehow put the wrong size in the basket. Chloe was very helpful and efficient during return and exchange processes. Thank you.
I thought they might be a bit tight as I measured between sizes, but once wearing them for 30 mins, they fit perfectly. I’m 5’7 and about 57kg. I have worn them almost every day since getting them and can’t wait to get more in other colours
This is my 3rd pair of Suk pants. I love the fit on this one, from around the waist, down through the legs. I love the wide legs but the hugging of the hips. Perfect fit and feel and with enough movement to get around the constructions sites.
Was genuinely impressed with the suk construction pants. the pockets are dreamy. the fit is fab , i sized up bc aus sizing usually not accurate but that said, it was fine because I was able to sinch in the waist for a perfect fit. LOVE these pants. will soon replace all my pants with suk.
Love these pants. I always have trouble fitting my hips and my waist… but the adjustable waist fitting on the Construction Pants is so ideal! They fur so well and the fabric is really comfortable. I will definitely be ordering more in other colours. 😁
I love these pants. They are so comfortable. I wear them everyday to do everyday things. They are practical bottoms for walking, sitting, climbing and doing busy stuff!
It’s a brilliantly versatile piece of clothing that makes me feel comfortable and confident. A great alternative to jeans.
Thanks SUK!
I got the burgundy construction pants in drill, in size 10. I’m Usually somewhere between 8-10 but should’ve got the 8. Pants still fit with the adjusters and I still love them! Also got 2 x tinnie shirts in 10. Again, could’ve probably gone size 8 but still absolutely love them
All and can’t wait for size 8 to come back into stock so I can get the black & green construction pants.
Beautiful fabric, great design and great for working around our property everyday. I can also just duck down the road and they look good. Had to take them up a fair bit because I am short 😄 but that's normal for me. Great delivery. Thank you🙏
The pants are a little tighter in the waist than I'm used to. but they fit and look great!
I'm waiting to buy more when you get 16 in stock! Hey hurry up with dat!
I really love them !
Loved that the fit accounts for thighs and butt but still snatches the waist! The pants also have big useful pockets and are really comfortable and easy to move in.
I love my SÜK construction pants! They look smart and they are comfortable. I feel good wearing them. I especially like the logo on my back pocket, pretty cool!
i love these for work, they are comfortable and cute and thankfully just short enough to not drag on the ground (i’m 5’2). if you’re deciding between two sizes, i would get the bigger one
I love these pants! I had a similar pair gifted to me for Christmas last year, and I loved them so much I decided to buy two more pairs but in different colours. I work in retail and often need a lot of pocket space for various devices - I especially love that the leg pocket is big enough to easily fit an iPad mini. They are super comfy and the adjustable waist means they’re not weirdly gapey as well. It means so much to me to have comfy, good-looking pants that fit larger bodies.
Nothing has ever fit as perfectly and more comfortable for workwear and everyday as the Suk Construction pants have. They're durable, soft, adjustable and move with me not against me. Nothing else cuts it in comparison and I'll root for Suk always.
These are so cute! They are a slightly thinner material than their regular colors but its still quality! I got a size 14 and my measurements are 32 in waist, 45 in hip, and 34 in inseam. If I seem rip the hem and leave a raw edge (which I did in the photos) then the length is perfect for me!! Highly recommend!
I received personalised, timely support for my online orders. It was a pleasure to deal with friendly staff and receive another great product in the range without delays.
I love these pants! I wear them everyday for my work as a solar electrician and they are so comfortable and durable with great pockets for all the tools. Just for me they were a bit snug around the waist for the first few wears but are practically like a second skin now. Also great to layer leggings under on colder mornings.
I love the pants, they are so comfy. I sized up based on comments and love the fit. The only improvement would be some way of securing the ends of the adjustable waist straps so they don't flap out.
