FAQs
What is the primary material composition?
The main body consists of 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill, while the stretch panels consist of 92% nylon and 8% spandex.
Are the holster pockets removable?
No, the holster pockets are integrated into the design for reinforced durability.
Do these shorts fit true to size?
Yes, they are designed to standard UK waist sizing, but the stretch fabric may offer a slightly more forgiving fit than 100% cotton alternatives.
Can these be tumble dried?
It is recommended to avoid high-heat tumble drying to protect the stretch panels and fabric strength. Air drying is the safest method.
What does the 250gsm fabric weight mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter; 250gsm indicates a medium-heavy weight fabric that is durable enough for work but breathable enough for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Ensure no debris or loose thread is caught in the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of paraffin wax to the teeth can help restore smooth operation.
Stretch panels losing elasticity
This is often caused by frequent high-heat drying. Use cool wash and air-dry methods to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are work-grade garments, they are ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To ensure the longest possible product lifespan, please adhere to the following care recommendations:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use heavy bleaches as these may degrade the elastane in the stretch panels.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's shape and elasticity; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can break down synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: Use a low heat setting if ironing is required, ensuring you do not iron directly over the reinforced holster pockets or synthetic stretch inserts.
