Product Overview
The Portwest Texo Contrast Shorts (TX14) represent a well-considered approach to professional workwear for warmer environments. Designed to provide a balance between a sharp appearance and functional utility, these shorts are constructed from the highly regarded Kingsmill Cotton Rich fabric. The design prioritises user comfort through integrated waist elastication, which allows for a full range of movement during active shifts without compromising the secure fit of the garment.
Key Features
- Waist elastication provides a flexible fit that adapts to your movements, reducing the likelihood of restriction when bending or crouching on the job.
- The Kingsmill Cotton Rich fabric blend offers the natural breathability of high-quality cotton paired with the resilient performance of polyester.
- Multiple functional pockets ensure that essential tools and personal items are always within reach, enhancing efficiency throughout the workday.
- The contrast colour design provides a modern, professional look that helps your team stand out while maintaining a unified corporate identity.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of the TX14 shorts. The fabric is a medium-weight blend consisting of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. This specific composition ensures that the shorts remain breathable and comfortable against the skin, while the polyester component provides the necessary tensile strength to withstand the rigours of a demanding workplace. The fabric is engineered to maintain its shape and colour even after repeated laundering, making it a dependable choice for long-term use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Portwest Texo range is specifically designed to accommodate professional branding. For those seeking a superior, long-lasting finish, embroidery is the ideal choice for company logos or individual names. It provides a raised, high-quality texture that conveys a sense of permanence and authority. Alternatively, for larger or more complex designs, our printing service offers a bold and clear finish that ensures your brand is easily recognisable. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
These shorts are ideally suited for tradespeople, warehouse operatives, and delivery drivers who require a cooler alternative to full-length trousers during the summer months. They are equally appropriate for maintenance engineers and site supervisors who need to maintain a professional appearance while working in physically active roles.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that the elasticated waistband offers a degree of flexibility, which is particularly useful if you are between sizes or require extra comfort while sitting or bending. We recommend choosing your standard waist size for the best fit, as the elastication is designed to provide a secure hold without the need for constant adjustment.
Caring for your product
To ensure your shorts remain in peak condition, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is effective for removing work-related grime while preserving the integrity of the cotton-rich fibres.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Harsh chemical agents will break down the polyester-cotton blend and lead to premature fading of the black fabric and any custom branding you have applied.
If ironing is required, use a maximum temperature of 150°C. This is sufficient to remove creases and keep the shorts looking professional without risking heat damage to the synthetic components of the fabric.
For persistent stains, these shorts can be professionally dry cleaned using tetrachloroethene, which will help maintain the garment's appearance without compromising its structural durability.
