Product Overview
The Premier Women's Performance Chino Shorts represent a transition from traditional corporate trousers to a more versatile, warm-weather alternative without sacrificing professional standards. Constructed from a durable blend of polyester, cotton, and elastane, these shorts are designed for the modern workplace where movement and comfort are paramount. The inclusion of elastane provides a critical stretch component, allowing the wearer to move freely throughout a busy shift. These shorts serve as an ideal canvas for branding, offering a refined silhouette that balances a casual aesthetic with the discipline of a corporate uniform.
Key Features
- Stretch Fabric Performance: The inclusion of 2% elastane ensures the fabric moves with the wearer, reducing resistance and increasing comfort during physical activity.
- Secure Fastening System: Featuring a covered YKK zip fly combined with a metal button and a hook-and-bar fastening for a reliable and secure fit that holds up under daily wear.
- Functional Pocket Configuration: Equipped with two side pockets featuring rivet detail and two patch pockets at the reverse, providing practical storage for essential items.
- Belt-Ready Waistband: Integrated loops allow for the addition of a belt, ensuring a tailored fit and a completed professional look.
- Durable Hemming: The double turned hem provides a clean finish and prevents fraying, extending the lifespan of the garment in high-use environments.
- Tear-out Tag: Facilitates easy re-branding for businesses looking to create a completely bespoke uniform range.
Design & Performance
The technical composition of 63% polyester and 35% cotton creates a sturdy, medium-weight fabric that offers the breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing properties of polyester. This blend is specifically chosen for its ability to maintain its shape and colour after repeated laundering, making it a reliable choice for the hospitality and service sectors. The rivet detailing on the pockets is not merely aesthetic; it provides reinforcement to high-stress areas, ensuring the shorts do not succumb to premature wear. The double-turned hem ensures a crisp, clean line that maintains a smart appearance throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These chino shorts are highly suitable for both embroidery and print customisation. For a distinguished professional appearance, embroidery is recommended for company logos or staff names, usually placed on the pocket area or the hem. The medium-weight fabric provides a stable base for high-stitch-count embroidery, ensuring the design remains flat and clear.
Alternatively, if your branding requires larger or more vibrant graphics, our printing processes are perfectly compatible with this polyester-cotton blend. Our in-house production team, established in 1976 and based in Telford, oversees every garment to ensure your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
These shorts are specifically designed for professional environments where full-length trousers are impractical due to temperature. They are an excellent choice for front-of-house hospitality staff, outdoor event teams, and corporate retail environments. The smart-casual nature of the chino design also makes them suitable for summer uniform sets in travel and tourism sectors.

Practical Advice
The sizing for these shorts ranges from XS to 5XL, corresponding to UK dress sizes 8 through 24. Due to the elastane content, the fabric offers some flexibility; however, for a strictly corporate appearance, we recommend choosing your standard size to ensure the chino silhouette remains sharp. If you are frequently between sizes, the stretch fabric allows for a comfortable fit even during active tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the stretch performance of the elastane, it is vital to follow the washing instructions carefully. These shorts are designed to be washed at 60°C. This temperature is specifically chosen to ensure that organic stains and bacteria common in service environments are effectively removed, ensuring high standards of hygiene.
Regular washing at the recommended temperature helps preserve the fabric's finish and prevents the build-up of oils that can degrade the elastane over time. Avoid using industrial-strength bleach, as this will weaken the polyester fibres and cause the cotton to lose its colour vibrancy, potentially damaging your custom branding.
