White Cotton Painter Pants Built for Tool Storage and Kneeling Work
Portwest S817 white painter pants are 9 oz, 100% cotton work trousers designed for painting, plastering, and related finish-trade work. Eight pockets organize everyday tools, while the layered thigh pocket keeps a phone and pens within reach.
Bottom-loading knee pad pockets accept compatible knee pads for tasks performed near floors and baseboards. A half-elasticated waist supports a secure work fit, and the anti-scratch design avoids exposed metal parts that could contact finished surfaces.

Portwest S817 White Painter Pants FAQ
What material are the S817 painter pants made from?
Portwest specifies a 9 oz Kingsmill Cotton shell made from 100% cotton. This style is not a cotton/polyester blend.
How many pockets do these painter pants have?
The S817 has eight pockets, including side storage, a layered thigh pocket for a phone and pens, a rule pocket, hip storage, and bottom-loading knee pad pockets.
Are knee pads included?
No. The pants have pockets designed to accept compatible knee pads, but the pads are purchased separately. Confirm the dimensions and loading direction before pairing them.
Do the S817 pants have reinforced double knees?
Portwest documents bottom-loading knee pad pockets, not the reinforced double-knee construction used on some other painter pants.
What sizes does ASA offer?
The current ASA listing offers S, M, L, XL, 2X, and 3X. Review the size chart before ordering because letter sizes are not the same as a stated waist measurement.
Are these white painter pants machine washable?
Yes. Portwest lists machine washing at up to 60 degrees C. Follow the sewn-in care label, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and line dry the garment.
Does the fabric have a UPF rating?
Portwest lists the S817 fabric as UPF 40+, blocking 98% of UV rays under the manufacturer's test claim. Coverage, wear, washing, and workplace conditions still affect practical protection.
Are S817 painter pants certified protective clothing?
No. Portwest classifies S817 as general workwear rather than clothing designed to protect against a specific hazard. It should not replace hazard-specific flame-resistant, chemical, electrical, or other required PPE.
