FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?
Yes, the 250gsm twill fabric is durable yet breathable, making them suitable for summer site work.
What is the difference between the cotton and polyester models?
The cotton models offer a more natural, breathable feel, while the polyester-blend versions provide higher abrasion resistance and color retention.
Can I fit a standard hammer in the holster pockets?
Yes, the pockets are designed to hold common hand tools, though it is advised to test the weight capacity to maintain comfort.
Do the shorts come with a belt?
No, the shorts do not include a belt; however, they feature sturdy belt loops that accommodate most standard work belts.
Is the fabric fire-resistant?
These shorts are not certified fire-resistant; avoid exposure to open flames or welding sparks.
Troubleshooting
Stretch panels feel loose after frequent washing
Avoid fabric softeners, as these can coat and degrade the elasticity of spandex fibers over time.
Pocket stitching showing signs of wear
Avoid over-stuffing holster pockets with heavy or sharp metal objects that exceed the intended weight capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your JCB shorts maintain their structural integrity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature to prevent shrinking and to preserve the synthetic stretch fibers. Avoid using heavy bleach or harsh industrial detergents.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the elasticity of the stretch panels. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can compromise the fiber density.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, avoiding direct heat on the stretch panel inserts.
- Compatibility: The standard waist sizing is consistent with standard UK sizing; however, check the inner tag for specific fiber content (65% Polyester/35% Cotton or 92% Nylon/8% Spandex) to understand how the fabric behaves when wet or soiled.
