The Oxford weave construction delivers a robust fabric that stands up to the rigours of construction sites, roadworks, and industrial environments whilst maintaining excellent breathability and comfort throughout long shifts.

Available in various safety classifications from Class 1 through to Class 3, and including GO/RT certified options for traffic management roles, the 300D Oxford Weave Industry range ensures compliance with UK and European safety standards. Many products feature advanced specifications such as breathable membranes, contrast panelling for enhanced visibility, and reversible designs that offer versatility and extended wear between washes.

About 300D Oxford Weave Industry

300D Oxford Weave Industry represents a specification-driven approach to workwear manufacturing, focusing on the technical properties of fabrics rather than brand marketing. The "300D Oxford Weave" terminology describes a specific textile construction where "300D" indicates 300 denier threads woven in an Oxford basket-weave pattern – a technique that creates a durable, water-resistant fabric ideal for demanding industrial applications. This construction method has become an industry standard for quality workwear, particularly in the high visibility and protective clothing sectors.

The Oxford weave technique itself has a long heritage in textile manufacturing, known for producing fabrics that balance strength with flexibility. When applied to workwear with a 300 denier thread weight, it creates garments that resist abrasion, tearing, and weather penetration whilst remaining comfortable to wear. This fabric specification has earned a strong reputation amongst UK tradespeople and safety officers who require reliable, long-lasting protective clothing that meets stringent HSE requirements and EN ISO standards.

Who Uses 300D Oxford Weave Industry Workwear?

300D Oxford Weave Industry workwear is designed for professionals across numerous sectors who require durable, high-visibility protective clothing:

• Construction workers – site managers, labourers, and groundworkers requiring robust hi vis protection
• Highway maintenance crews – traffic management teams working on motorways and A-roads
• Utility workers – gas, electric, and water engineers working roadside or on infrastructure
• Warehouse and logistics staff – forklift operators, loading bay personnel, and distribution centre workers
• Railway workers – trackside maintenance teams and rail infrastructure engineers
• Emergency services – recovery vehicle operators and incident response teams
• Local authority workers – council maintenance teams, street cleaning, and grounds maintenance
• Airport ground staff – baggage handlers, marshalls, and airside maintenance crews
• Industrial plant operators – manufacturing, processing, and heavy industry personnel

Why Choose 300D Oxford Weave Industry Workwear?

The 300D Oxford weave construction offers significant advantages for professional workwear applications. The 300 denier thread weight provides exceptional durability – considerably more robust than standard 150D fabrics whilst remaining flexible and comfortable. The Oxford basket-weave pattern creates a fabric structure that resists tearing and snagging, essential when working around sharp edges, rough surfaces, and construction materials.

Water resistance is built into the weave structure itself, with the tightly woven Oxford pattern creating a natural barrier against moisture. Many garments in this range feature additional waterproof coatings or breathable membranes, delivering protection from heavy rain whilst allowing perspiration to escape – crucial for maintaining comfort during physical work. The fabric's durability translates directly to value for money, with 300D Oxford weave garments typically outlasting lighter alternatives by considerable margins.

Compliance with UK safety standards is fundamental to this range, with products meeting EN ISO 20471 high visibility requirements in Classes 1, 2, and 3, as well as GO/RT specifications for traffic management applications. The reflective tape and fluorescent fabrics maintain their visibility properties even after repeated washing cycles, ensuring continued protection throughout the garment's working life. For site managers and safety officers, this represents reliable compliance with HSE guidance and reduced replacement costs.

Perfect for Your Job

300D Oxford Weave Industry workwear excels in environments where durability and visibility are paramount. Construction sites benefit from the tear-resistant properties when working with steel reinforcement, timber, and aggregate materials. The waterproof options provide essential protection for groundworks and external trades who can't simply down tools when weather turns.

Highway and roadside work demands the highest standards of visibility, and the Class 3 and GO/RT certified options in this range meet the stringent requirements for traffic management and motorway maintenance. The breathable specifications ensure comfort even during physically demanding tasks like cone-laying or barrier installation.

For warehouse and logistics operations, the combination of visibility and durability makes these garments ideal for busy loading bays and distribution centres where forklift traffic and manual handling present daily hazards. The range of bib and braces and work trousers provides lower-body protection that complements hi vis jackets for complete coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 300D Oxford Weave mean?

The "300D" refers to 300 denier thread weight, indicating the thickness and strength of the fabric yarns. "Oxford Weave" describes the basket-weave construction pattern that creates a durable, water-resistant fabric. Together, 300D Oxford Weave delivers professional-grade workwear fabric that balances strength, flexibility, and weather protection.

Is 300D better than 150D fabric?

Yes, 300D fabric uses thicker, stronger threads than 150D alternatives, providing approximately double the tear resistance and durability. For demanding construction and industrial environments, 300D offers significantly longer garment life, making it more cost-effective despite typically higher initial purchase prices.

Are these garments compliant with UK safety standards?

The 300D Oxford Weave Industry range includes garments certified to EN ISO 20471 for high visibility clothing in Classes 1, 2, and 3, as well as GO/RT specifications for traffic management roles. All products meet HSE guidance for appropriate workwear in relevant sectors.

How should I care for Oxford weave workwear?

Machine wash according to garment labels, typically at 40°C. Avoid fabric softeners which can reduce the effectiveness of hi vis materials and waterproof coatings. The robust Oxford weave construction withstands regular industrial laundering whilst maintaining protective properties.

What's the difference between Class 1, 2, and 3 hi vis clothing?

Classification depends on the amount of visible fluorescent and reflective material. Class 1 offers basic visibility for low-risk environments, Class 2 provides enhanced visibility for roadside work, and Class 3 delivers maximum visibility required for high-speed traffic environments and complex backgrounds. Choose the classification appropriate to your specific risk assessment.
