Product Overview
The Granite Holster Shorts represent a significant advancement in warm-weather workwear, blending a refined professional image with the rugged utility required for demanding site environments. Constructed from a high-performance medium-weight polycotton fabric, these shorts are engineered to provide ventilation during the summer months without compromising on the durability expected of technical apparel.
The design features a sophisticated Black and Zoom Grey colour palette, ensuring a clean appearance even in dusty conditions. By utilising Kingsmill polycotton, the garment offers a balance of natural breathability and synthetic resilience, making it a dependable choice for those who need to remain active and comfortable throughout a full shift.
Key Features
- Tuck-Away Holster Pockets: Constructed from rugged nylon oxford, these specialised pockets are designed to hold heavy tools and fixings, and can be neatly tucked away when not required to maintain a streamlined profile.
- High-Quality Kingsmill Fabric: This 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend ensures the garment remains pre-shrunk and retains its colour even after repeated industrial laundering.
- Dedicated Smart Phone Storage: The multiple pocket configurations include dimensions specifically tailored for modern smartphones, ensuring your technology is secure yet accessible.
- Reinforced Stress Points: Strategic use of nylon oxford fabric in high-wear areas prevents premature tearing and extends the lifecycle of the garment.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Granite Holster Shorts is rooted in the quality of the Kingsmill fabric. This material has been treated to ensure superior dye retention, which prevents the Black and Zoom Grey tones from fading prematurely. The medium-weight nature of the fabric provides a substantial feel that resists abrasions while remaining light enough to allow for efficient heat dissipation during manual labour.
Durability is further enhanced by the inclusion of nylon oxford holster pockets. This material is exceptionally resistant to punctures and scuffing, providing a protective barrier between your tools and your skin. The fit is designed for mobility, ensuring that crouching or climbing ladders does not cause uncomfortable binding or restriction.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Granite Holster Shorts are well-suited for both print and embroidery customisation, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your corporate identity. Our in-house team in Telford has been refining this process since 1976, ensuring that every logo is applied with precision.
Embroidery is highly recommended for adding company logos or individual names, providing a textured, premium finish that mirrors the durability of the shorts themselves. For larger, high-impact branding, our technical print options offer a crisp and vibrant alternative. Both methods are executed with care to ensure they withstand the rigours of a working environment without peeling or fraying.
Use Cases
These shorts are an essential choice for tradespeople operating in the construction, plumbing, and electrical sectors during the warmer months. They are equally effective for warehouse staff who require the utility of holster pockets but find full-length trousers too restrictive in temperature-controlled environments or during peak summer heat.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the intended contents of the holster pockets; if you frequently carry heavy tools, a secure fit at the waist is paramount to prevent shifting. These shorts pair effectively with moisture-wicking polo shirts or lightweight t-shirts for a complete warm-weather uniform that maintains a professional standard.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your shorts, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to break down oils and dirt without damaging the synthetic fibres of the Kingsmill fabric.
It is important to avoid the use of bleach. Bleaching agents will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the Zoom Grey contrast panels to lose their depth of colour, eventually weakening the fabric's tensile strength.
While these shorts can be tumble dried on a normal setting, doing so at excessive heat for prolonged periods may impact the longevity of any applied print. For best results, remove them from the dryer while slightly damp to reduce creasing.
If professional cleaning is required, these shorts are compatible with tetrachloroethene dry cleaning processes, which can be particularly effective for removing industrial stains that domestic machines may struggle to penetrate.
