Work Shorts
What features should I look for in work shorts?
Choose work shorts made from tough materials like ripstop or heavy-duty cotton. Look for reinforced seams, plenty of pockets for tools and essentials, and a comfortable waistband. If you’re in a trade, features like hammer loops and ruler pockets are especially useful.
Are work shorts suitable for all seasons?
While traditionally associated with summer, work shorts are designed for year-round use. Many professionals pair them with thermal undergarments during cooler months, appreciating the freedom of movement they provide regardless of season.
How should work shorts fit properly?
Work shorts should sit comfortably at the waist without slipping when carrying tools. They should allow full range of movement when bending or crouching, with enough room around the thighs to prevent restriction, but not so loose they catch on equipment or materials.
What's the difference between standard shorts and workwear shorts?
Workwear shorts are specifically engineered for tough jobs, with strong stitching, durable materials, and extra features like tool loops, knee pad slots, and reflective strips to keep you safe and organised on the job.
How do I care for my work shorts to maximise durability?
Follow the manufacturer's washing instructions, typically avoiding fabric softeners which can degrade performance features. Turn shorts inside-out before washing, and air dry when possible to preserve shape and technical properties.
