Product Overview
The Women's Combat Short is a well-engineered garment designed to meet the demands of a modern working environment while maintaining a professional fit. Constructed from high-performance Kingsmill Polycotton, these shorts combine the natural breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. This ensures the wearer remains comfortable throughout the day, while the garment itself withstands the rigours of manual labour.
Key Features
- The half-elasticated waistband offers a flexible fit that moves with the body, providing essential comfort during active shifts and extended wear.
- Twin-stitched seams provide a robust finish and significantly enhance the durability of the garment, preventing failure at high-stress points.
- Integrated belt loops offer the option to add a work belt, providing further security and a platform for tool pouches if required.
- The Kingsmill fabric is fully pre-shrunk and features superior dye retention, ensuring the shorts maintain their shape and deep black colour after repeated industrial or domestic laundering.
Design & Performance
Performance is central to the design of this combat short. The Kingsmill Polycotton fabric, a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, has been selected for its ability to balance weight and strength. The material provides a substantial feel that resists abrasions while remaining soft against the skin. The addition of twin-stitching not only contributes to a purposeful, robust aesthetic but serves as a functional reinforcement against the typical wear and tear experienced in professional trade roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These combat shorts are an excellent foundation for corporate branding. For a sophisticated and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or individual names; this method provides a textured, superior appearance that is highly resistant to frequent washing. Should your branding require a larger or more vibrant visual impact, our high-quality print services are ideal for prominent designs. Our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment customisation since 1976, ensures every logo is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for women working in logistics, warehousing, and light construction during warmer weather. They are equally suitable for facilities management and delivery personnel who require a professional appearance combined with the utility of combat-style clothing.

Practical Advice
The half-elasticated waistband provides a degree of flexibility between sizes, which is particularly useful for active roles involving frequent bending or reaching. We recommend ensuring the waist is correctly fitted to take full advantage of the comfort provided by the elasticated sections.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your combat shorts, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. This temperature is effective for removing stubborn work-related stains without damaging the polyester-cotton fibres.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the fabric's superior dye retention and lead to premature fading of the black finish. When drying, a low-temperature tumble dry is recommended to prevent excessive heat damage and maintain the garment's pre-shrunk dimensions. For a smart, crisp appearance, the shorts can be ironed at a maximum temperature of 150°C. If preferred, they are also suitable for professional dry cleaning using normal processes.
