Product Overview
The Merlin Tradesman Shorts in Black are a robust choice for professionals who require durability and comfort during warmer weather or in temperature-controlled environments. These shorts are engineered to withstand the daily rigours of trade work, providing a practical alternative to full-length trousers without compromising on professional appearance. The deep black finish ensures a clean, uniform look that is resistant to showing everyday site dirt.
Key Features
- Professional Utility Design: Specifically constructed for tradespeople, these shorts offer the functionality needed for active work roles.
- Sized for Precision: The 28-inch waist provides a tailored fit, ensuring the garment remains secure and comfortable during physical activity.
- Sturdy Construction: Built with high-quality materials to ensure longevity, even when subjected to the frequent movement and abrasion typical of manual labour.
Design & Performance
These shorts are crafted from a substantial and sturdy fabric that balances physical protection with breathability. The "Tradesman" designation reflects a garment designed for movement; the cut allows for a full range of motion, which is essential for tasks involving climbing, bending, or kneeling. The black fabric is not only professional in appearance but is also selected for its ability to maintain its colour and shape after repeated industrial use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Merlin Tradesman Shorts are an ideal candidate for professional branding. Embroidery is highly recommended for this garment, particularly for company logos or staff names. An embroidered finish offers a high-quality, "proper" professional appearance that is exceptionally durable and capable of withstanding the high-temperature washes often required for workwear.
For businesses looking for larger, high-impact branding, our printing services provide a bold and clear alternative. Whether you choose the texture of embroidery or the clarity of print, all customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility. With MyWorkwear having been established in 1976, our expert team ensures that your branding is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases
These shorts are perfectly suited for trades such as plumbing, electrical work, and carpentry where freedom of movement is paramount. They are also a staple for warehouse operatives and delivery drivers who require a hard-wearing garment that can handle a fast-paced working environment while keeping the wearer cool.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, we recommend ensuring a comfortable fit at the waist to allow for the use of a tool belt if required. For those between sizes, opting for a slightly larger fit can provide better ventilation and ease of movement during strenuous tasks. These shorts pair effectively with a moisture-wicking polo shirt for a complete summer work uniform.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your workwear correctly is essential to ensure both the garment and your custom branding continue to perform and look professional over time.
When washing, we recommend turning the shorts inside out. Failing to do so can cause unnecessary friction against the washing machine drum, which may lead to the premature wearing of embroidered threads or the peeling of printed logos.
Avoid the use of chlorine-based bleaching agents. Using bleach will aggressively strip the black dye from the fabric and weaken the structural fibres, leading to a faded appearance and a significantly reduced garment lifespan.
We advise against high-heat tumble drying. Excessive heat can cause the fabric to shrink and may cause printed designs to crack or lose their adhesion. Air drying or using a low-heat setting will help maintain the garment's shape and integrity.
If ironing is required, never iron directly over any printed or embroidered branding. Direct heat can melt print materials and distort embroidery, so always iron on the reverse side to protect your company's visual identity.
