FAQs
What is the fabric composition of these work shorts?
The shorts are made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, with a fabric weight of 250gsm. Pockets are reinforced with heavy-duty canvas.
How many pockets do these shorts feature?
They feature a cargo pocket, a rule pocket, a mobile phone pocket, a secure zipped pocket, a hammer loop, tool loops, and a D-ring for various storage needs.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
While made from lightweight twill fabric for comfort, the polyester blend might retain some heat compared to 100% cotton in extremely high temperatures. However, they are designed for all-day comfort on the job.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by the retailer. Measure your waist where you typically wear your shorts and compare it to the UK waist measurements (e.g., 28", 30", 32").
Can I machine wash these shorts?
Yes, machine washing is recommended on a moderate temperature setting with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Refer to the care label for specific details.
What is the primary benefit of the canvas pocket reinforcements?
The canvas reinforcements add significant durability to the pockets, protecting them from abrasion and tears caused by sharp tools or heavy items, thereby extending the lifespan of the shorts.
Are there other colors or fits available?
Yes, Scruffs offers these work shorts in other colors like Graphite, and potentially different fits depending on the specific model. Please check the product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Seams unraveling prematurely
Ensure washing instructions are followed. Avoid over-drying, which can stress seams. For minor issues, a professional tailor can reinforce stitching.
Pockets not holding tools securely
Verify that tools are placed correctly within the designated pockets. For the zipped pocket, ensure it is fully closed. Consider using additional tool pouches or belts if carrying exceptionally heavy items.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Use a fabric softener sparingly during the rinse cycle, or air dry the shorts instead of using a tumble dryer. Repeated wear will also soften the fabric.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for fabric obstructions in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth to help it slide smoothly. Ensure the zipper is not forced if it snags.
