The Front Row Stretch Chino Shorts are a sophisticated solution for professionals requiring a balance between a formal appearance and practical comfort. Engineered with a cotton-rich stretch twill, these shorts provide a sleek, flat-front silhouette that suits various workplace environments, from hospitality front-of-house to corporate leisure events. The garment-washed finish ensures a soft handle from the first wear, eliminating the stiffness often associated with traditional chinos, making them an essential addition to a summer workwear rotation.
Constructed from a lightweight yet durable blend of 97% cotton and 3% elastane, these shorts are designed for longevity in demanding roles. The high cotton content provides excellent breathability, which is essential for maintaining comfort during warmer shifts or outdoor work. The elastane component is critical for maintaining the garment's shape, preventing the fabric from becoming baggy or losing its silhouette after a long day of physical activity.
The smooth twill surface of these shorts serves as an ideal canvas for customisation. For businesses seeking a refined, professional appearance, our Telford-based team recommends embroidery. This technique is particularly effective for company logos or staff names, typically positioned on the hip or above the rear pocket to maintain a smart aesthetic. For larger, more vibrant graphics, our high-quality printing processes ensure your branding remains sharp and durable. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has refined these processes to ensure your uniform looks as professional as the services you provide.
These shorts are perfectly suited for hospitality staff in gastro-pubs or summer venues, as well as trade professionals who require a smarter alternative to cargo shorts during the summer months. They also serve as an excellent option for corporate golf days or team-building events where a uniform appearance is required in a more relaxed setting.
With nearly five decades of experience, MyWorkwear has been a staple of the British workwear industry since 1976. Operating from our specialised facility in Telford, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to deliver garments that withstand the rigours of the workplace. We understand that your uniform is a reflection of your brand, and we treat every stitch with the importance it deserves.
These shorts are available in a broad size range from 28 to 40 inches. To achieve a coordinated look, we suggest pairing these chinos with a high-quality polo shirt or a short-sleeved oxford shirt. The flat front offers a modern fit; if you are between sizes, the stretch fabric provides some flexibility, though a proper fit at the waist is recommended for the best silhouette.
To maintain the structural integrity and colour density of your shorts, we recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without subjecting the elastane fibers to excessive heat, which can lead to a loss of elasticity over time.
Always wash dark colours separately and turn the garment inside out before cleaning. This simple step protects the outer face of the fabric and any applied customisation from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum, ensuring your logo stays crisp. We advise using a detergent specifically formulated for colours to prevent premature fading.
Do not use bleach, as this will weaken the cotton fibers and cause permanent discolouration. Similarly, these shorts should not be tumble dried. High heat from a dryer can snap the elastane threads, leading to a permanent loss of stretch. Instead, dry the garment away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle or sun-bleached.
When ironing, use a medium setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse. This prevents 'shining' the fabric and ensures any print or embroidery is not damaged by direct contact with the iron plate.
