Product Overview
The Wombat WB902 Mens Drawstring Chino Shorts represent a sophisticated approach to casual workwear, combining the structured aesthetic of a traditional chino with the functional comfort of an elasticated waist. These medium-weight shorts are engineered for professionals who require a garment that is both presentable for client-facing roles and resilient enough for active daily use. The soft-finish fabric ensures comfort throughout long shifts, while the thoughtful inclusion of multiple pockets provides the utility expected of high-quality workwear.
Key Features
- Comprehensive five-pocket design, including two swing pockets, two back jet pockets (one with a secure button fastening), and a dedicated coin pocket for organized storage of small essentials.
- Elasticated waistband complemented by adjustable drawstrings with gunmetal eyelets and caps, providing a customizable fit that adapts to physical movement.
- Integrated zip fly and button fastening, maintaining the professional appearance of a standard chino while offering the ease of a drawstring garment.
- Versatile hem construction that allows the shorts to be worn at full length or rolled up, providing flexibility for different environments and style requirements.
Design & Performance
The performance of the WB902 is rooted in its high-quality fabric composition, consisting of 98% cotton and 2% elastane. The dominant cotton content ensures superior breathability and a soft hand-feel, which is essential for maintaining comfort in warmer climates or high-intensity work environments. The addition of elastane provides just enough stretch to facilitate a full range of motion without the garment losing its shape over time. This medium-weight material is hard-wearing, ensuring the shorts can withstand the friction and stress associated with a busy workday.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-density weave of these shorts makes them an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For those seeking a professional and permanent branding solution, embroidery is highly recommended. Our in-house team can apply intricate logos or staff names, creating a premium look that is particularly well-suited for the hospitality and service sectors.
Alternatively, the flat surface of the chino fabric is ideal for various printing techniques, which are better suited for larger, high-impact branding or promotional designs. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these processes at our Telford-based facility, ensuring that your custom designs are applied with technical precision to ensure longevity and professional clarity.
Use Cases
These shorts are perfectly positioned for staff in the hospitality, resort, and leisure industries where a smart-casual appearance is vital. They are also an excellent choice for management and supervisory staff on construction sites during summer months, or for any trade professional who requires a more refined alternative to standard cargo shorts without sacrificing durability.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please refer to the specific waist measurements provided; the elasticated waistband and drawstring allow for a degree of flexibility, ensuring a secure fit even when the pockets are fully loaded. For a more formal look, we recommend wearing the shorts at their full length, whereas rolling the hem can provide a more contemporary, relaxed aesthetic for resort or outdoor settings.
Caring for your product
To preserve the fabric integrity and the quality of your custom branding, we recommend a machine wash at 30°C. Washing at lower temperatures prevents the cotton from shrinking and protects the elastane fibers from heat-induced degradation, which can lead to a loss of shape.
The garment should be washed inside out with similar colours to prevent dye transfer and to shield any embroidery or print from direct contact with the washing machine drum. Do not use bleach, as this will weaken the fabric fibers and cause significant fading of the dye.
Line drying is strongly advised; do not tumble dry this product. High heat from tumble dryers can cause the waistband to lose its elasticity and may damage the adhesive bond of printed designs. A medium iron can be used to maintain a crisp appearance, but please avoid direct contact with any printed or embroidered areas to prevent damage to the decoration.
