BP® Work Jacket 1602-559 with Concealed Buttons

BP work jacket 1602-559, black, concealed buttons. There are no projecting buttons to catch lacquer, glass or furniture, so the working face of the garment stays smooth.

Model 1602-559-32 is made from a 245 gsm blend — 65% polyester for wear resistance and 35% cotton for comfort through the shift.

An ordinary work jacket is a source of scratches. A button, a snap, a rivet, a zip pull: lean over a bonnet, rest against glass, press up against finished furniture — and there is a mark on the surface. Putting it right costs more than the whole set of workwear.

Here the fastening is tucked under a placket. From the outside, smooth fabric with no hard components at all. This is not about looks; it is about work not turning into damage.

Where it matters

Vehicle workshops and paint shops, glazing, furniture manufacture and installation, work on finished lacquered and polished surfaces, appliance installation, delivery and assembly at the customer's premises.

A separate field is food and pharmaceutical production, where a concealed fastening is needed for a different reason: a button must not come off and end up in the product.

The fabric

Two thirds polyester for resistance to industrial laundering and dimensional stability, one third cotton for breathability. Weight is 245 grams per square metre: not lightweight shirting but a proper work cloth that holds its shape and does not go sheer after washing.

The garments are designed for processing in a professional laundry, not only for domestic washing. On shift work with centralised laundering, that determines how many years the uniform lasts.

Honest about what it is not

Professional workwear, not personal protective equipment. No protection against fire, electric arc, chemicals or cuts, and not high-visibility clothing. Those applications require certified garments — our catalogue has a separate protective range.
