Product Overview
The SM069 Kids Retro Shorts offer a versatile and durable solution for junior teamwear, sports clubs, and school uniforms. These unisex shorts are designed with a classic athletic aesthetic, featuring distinctive contrast binding and curved side hems that provide a professional finish. By matching the design of the adult SF range (SF069 and SK069), these shorts allow for a consistent and unified brand identity across all age groups, making them an excellent choice for organisations seeking a coordinated look.
Key Features
- Contrast binding and drawcord provide a classic retro aesthetic while ensuring a secure and adjustable fit.
- The elasticated waist allows for ease of movement and comfort during physical activities, accommodating various body shapes.
- The tear-out Skinnifit label is a practical feature for rebranding or for children with sensitive skin, as it can be removed to prevent irritation.
- Crafted from 100% cotton single jersey, these shorts provide a soft, breathable surface that is gentle on the skin yet resilient enough for regular use.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial single jersey fabric, the SM069 provides a high-quality feel without being overly heavy. The 100% cotton composition ensures maximum breathability, which is vital for active children. The design features a modern, athletic cut that offers significant freedom of movement, while the curved side hems are reinforced with contrast binding to prevent fraying and maintain the garment's structural integrity over time. The fabric's weave is tight and consistent, providing an excellent canvas for customisation.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth surface of the cotton single jersey makes these shorts highly adaptable for both print and embroidery. For sports clubs or school teams, embroidery is a superior choice for adding small logos or names, offering a high-quality, permanent finish that withstands frequent laundering. For larger, more vibrant designs, our printing techniques provide a flexible finish that moves with the fabric. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on our heritage since 1976 to ensure every logo is applied with precision.
Use Cases
These retro shorts are ideally suited for physical education kits, dance schools, and summer sports clubs. Their unisex design and wide size range (from 5/6 years to 11/12 years) make them a versatile option for any junior group activity where a professional, athletic appearance is required.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes, we recommend referring to the specific measurements provided in the size guide, as the elasticated waist offers some flexibility but a correct fit is essential for active use. For cooler training sessions, these shorts can be easily layered over technical leggings to provide additional warmth without compromising on the team aesthetic.
Caring for your product
To maintain the appearance and performance of these cotton shorts, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for cleaning while protecting the cotton fibres and the vibrancy of the contrast binding.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will damage the fabric integrity and cause the colours to fade. We also advise against tumble drying or dry cleaning, as high heat can lead to shrinkage and may damage any custom print or embroidery. Instead, reshape the shorts while damp to maintain the curved hemline and dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
If ironing is required, use a medium temperature and always iron on the reverse of the garment. This prevents direct heat from affecting your custom branding and ensures the fabric remains smooth and professional.
