Product Overview
The WX1 Two Tone Cotton Shorts are a practical and sophisticated solution for professionals working in warmer environments. Designed to co-ordinate seamlessly across the entire Portwest WX1 range, these shorts offer a professional aesthetic without compromising on the comfort required for long shifts. The choice of 100% cotton fabric ensures that the garment remains breathable and durable, providing a reliable option for those who demand both performance and style from their workwear.
Key Features
- 100% Cotton Construction: The natural cotton fibres provide exceptional breathability, allowing for effective temperature regulation when the mercury rises.
- Reflective Trim: Positioned on the leg panel, this subtle yet effective trim enhances visibility, adding an essential safety element for low-light conditions.
- Comprehensive Pocket System: Featuring multiple pockets, these shorts provide ample storage for tools and personal items, keeping them secure and accessible.
- Elasticated Side Waist: This design feature ensures a comfortable and flexible fit, accommodating the natural movements of the wearer throughout the day.
Design & Performance
The performance of these shorts is rooted in the quality of the material. The cotton fabric is substantial enough to withstand the daily rigours of a busy site, yet soft enough to prevent chafing or discomfort. The two-tone black and grey finish is both modern and functional, helping to mask workplace dust. Every seam and pocket has been designed with the trade professional in mind, ensuring that the garment performs just as well at the end of the shift as it did at the start.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we aim to provide the best possible finish for every garment. Due to the specific placement of the reflective leg panels and the intricate multi-pocket configuration of these shorts, there is limited space for high-quality embroidery or heat-applied logos without compromising the garment's functional design. To ensure you receive a product that functions exactly as intended by the manufacturer, we provide these shorts as a non-customised item.
Use Cases
These shorts are ideally suited for tradespeople in the landscaping, construction, and maintenance sectors who require a professional summer uniform. They are also a popular choice for warehouse staff and delivery drivers who need a durable garment that offers maximum mobility and breathability during physical activity.

Practical Advice
The inclusion of side waist elastication means these shorts are quite forgiving in terms of fit. If you find yourself between sizes, the elastication typically allows for a comfortable fit at the lower size range. For a complete professional look, we recommend pairing these with other items from the Portwest WX1 collection to ensure colour consistency across your team.
Caring for your product
Maintaining your workwear correctly is the best way to ensure it continues to perform and protect you for as long as possible. Cotton is a natural fibre and requires sensible care to prevent premature wear.
We recommend a standard wash at 40°C. Washing at excessive temperatures can cause the cotton fibres to shrink and may eventually degrade the integrity of the reflective trim. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh detergents, as these will strip the colour from the black and grey panels and weaken the fabric over time.
When it comes to drying, air drying is the preferred method to maintain the shape of the shorts. If you must use a tumble dryer, ensure it is on a low heat setting to prevent the elasticated waistband from losing its resilience. A medium iron can be used to keep the shorts looking sharp, but please avoid direct contact with the reflective elements to prevent heat damage.
