Makita launches own workwear range

Makita has launched a new workwear range, which it says is “tough, considered and built for real working environments”.

Developed by Castle Clothing – the team behind TuffStuff Workwear – and drawing on over 50 years of industry experience, the head-to-toe collection covers everything from base layers to outerwear, trousers, shorts and safety footwear, including dedicated womenswear sizes.

Every piece is designed around the realities of site life: kneeling, climbing, lifting, stretching and working through all conditions.

The difference is said to be in the detail – durable fabrics, high-quality components and smart detailing that improve comfort, flexibility and long-term wearability.

Performance features are built in where they matter most:

  • CORDURA reinforcements in high-wear areas
  • YKK zips specified for durability
  • Ripstop fabrics for strength without unnecessary bulk
  • Durable PFC free water-repellent finishes for reliable weather protection
  • Dedicated use of recycled fibres and responsibly sourced 100% BCI cotton
  • Work-focused fits designed for movement and all-day comfort

Engineered to the same standards tradespeople are said to expect from Makita tools, the range delivers durability, comfort and technical performance without compromise.

Rob Ansell, Managing Director at Castle Clothing, said: “Every element of Makita’s new workwear range has been developed with trades in mind. They expect their clothing to perform properly on site, and that’s exactly what this range is designed to do. The Makita name stands for quality and reliability, and this collection reflects that – tough, practical and built for demanding environments.”

Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK, added: “When researching the UK workwear market, we spoke to several well-known workwear brands and conducted further research with our dealers before deciding on a partner who could provide a range of products and service levels that matched the standards that our customers expect from the Makita brand.

As a result of intensive market research, the decision to establish a partnership between Makita UK and Castle Clothing soon followed, and we are certain that our dealer and end user customers will appreciate the quality, durability and styling of the new Makita workwear range.”

Makita Workwear launched in May 2026 through a network of dedicated trade stockists across the UK.
