Product Overview
The PW3 Holster Work Shorts represent a sophisticated addition to the PW3 range, engineered to provide a harmonious balance between contemporary style and industrial-grade functionality. Specifically designed for tradespeople operating in warmer conditions, these shorts offer the durability of full-length trousers without the heat retention, ensuring you remain comfortable and focused throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Detachable holster pockets allow for versatile tool storage, providing the option to remove them when a more streamlined silhouette is required.
- A dedicated rule pocket and easy-access thigh pocket ensure that essential measuring tools and handheld devices are always within reach.
- The integrated hammer loop provides a secure and accessible location for heavy hand tools, reducing the need for separate tool belts.
- A crotch gusset is incorporated to reduce stress on the seams during movement, significantly extending the garment's lifespan during high-intensity tasks.
- Reinforced panels are strategically placed in high-wear areas to prevent premature abrasion and maintain the garment's professional appearance.
Design & Performance
The primary construction of these shorts utilises Titanmill Plus, a robust blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This heavy-duty fabric offers the breathability of cotton paired with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester, making it suitable for rigorous daily use. To further enhance performance, the garment features contrast panels made from 600D Oxford polyester with a PU coating. This specific weave is renowned for its exceptional abrasion and tear resistance, providing protection in the most demanding site environments.
Beyond physical strength, the outer face of the contrast fabric is treated with a water and stain-repellent finish. This technical coating ensures that spills and debris are less likely to penetrate the fibres, helping you maintain a clean and professional look even when the job gets messy.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The PW3 Holster Work Shorts are an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing for high levels of corporate branding. For a traditional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names; it provides a textured, professional appearance that withstands the rigours of industrial washing. Alternatively, heat-seal printing is an effective choice for larger, bold designs that require sharp detail and vibrant colour reproduction.
Our dedicated in-house team at our Telford facility has been perfecting garment customisation since 1976. We manage every stage of the process to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care, reflecting the quality and heritage of your own business.
Use Cases
These shorts are the ideal choice for electricians, carpenters, and construction professionals who require the storage capacity of holster trousers but need the ventilation of a short during summer months. They are equally suited for warehouse staff and maintenance engineers who require durable, pocket-rich clothing for technical roles.

Practical Advice
For the best fit, we recommend measuring your waist accurately as these shorts feature a structured waistband for security while carrying loaded holster pockets. If you frequently transition between light and heavy tool loads, the detachable pockets offer the flexibility to adapt your equipment throughout the day. Consider pairing these with a high-performance moisture-wicking polo shirt for optimal temperature regulation.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic of your work shorts, it is essential to follow the recommended care protocol. A domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C is permitted to effectively remove industrial grime and bacteria. Exceeding this temperature may lead to fabric shrinkage or damage to the reinforced panels.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester-cotton fibres and strip the water-repellent coating from the contrast fabric. When drying, a low-heat tumble dry setting or drip-line drying is recommended; high heat can compromise the PU coating and affect the longevity of your custom branding.
If ironing is required, use a maximum soleplate temperature of 150°C to avoid scorching the fabric. Do not dry clean these shorts, as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the technical finishes of the 600D Oxford fabric panels.
