Product Overview
The Premier PR562 Performance chino shorts are a technically proficient alternative to standard work trousers, designed for professionals who require a polished appearance during the warmer months. These shorts are based on the popular chino jean silhouette, offering a contemporary fit that transitions seamlessly between corporate environments and more active service roles. By combining the smart aesthetic of a chino with the functional benefits of a stretch fabric, these shorts ensure the wearer remains comfortable and professional throughout a long shift.
Key Features
- Secure Fastening System: Utilises a covered YKK zip fly paired with a single metal button and a hook and bar at the waistband to ensure the garment remains securely fastened under physical strain.
- Integrated Belt Loops: The waistband is equipped with sturdy loops to facilitate a belt, allowing for a customised and stable fit.
- Strategic Pocketing: Features two side pockets with rivet details to prevent fraying and two rear patch pockets, providing ample storage for essential items.
- Durable Hem Construction: Finished with a double turned hem, which provides a clean edge and prevents the fabric from unraveling over time.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 63% polyester, 35% cotton, and 2% elastane has been engineered for high-frequency wear. The medium-weight fabric provides enough substance to feel protective while remaining breathable. The inclusion of elastane is a critical design choice, providing a necessary element of stretch that allows for a full range of motion—essential for staff who are constantly on the move. This blend also benefits from the durability of polyester, which helps the shorts retain their shape and colour after multiple wash cycles, and the natural breathability of cotton for skin comfort.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the PR562 makes it an ideal candidate for custom branding. Embroidery is highly recommended for creating a superior finish; it is particularly effective for company logos or staff names on the thigh or rear pockets, providing a long-lasting and professional appearance. For larger, more vibrant designs, high-quality heat-transfer printing is also a viable option. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976 to ensure your branding withstands the rigours of the workplace.
Use Cases
These shorts are perfectly suited for front-of-house hospitality staff, retail workers, and corporate teams operating in warmer climates. They offer a more casual and approachable look without sacrificing the professional standards required for customer-facing roles. They are also a practical choice for tradespeople or site managers who require a smart appearance but need the mobility offered by a shorter garment.

Practical Advice
The PR562 is available in an extensive size range from XS (30") to 4XL (44"). Given the stretch nature of the fabric, the fit is adaptable, but we recommend selecting your standard waist size for the best results. The belt loops are wide enough to accommodate most standard work belts, which we recommend for a secure and consistent fit during active tasks.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your workwear is essential for long-term performance and brand presentation. We recommend a regular wash at 60°C. This temperature is specifically selected to effectively break down oils, dirt, and bacteria common in hospitality and active work environments, ensuring the garment remains hygienic.
Avoid the use of harsh bleaching agents, as these will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the elastane to lose its elasticity over time. When drying, ensure the garment is reshaped while damp to maintain the clean lines of the chino design and reduce the need for heavy pressing.
