FAQs

What material are the Portwest KS18 Granite Holster Shorts made from?

The main shell fabric is Kingsmill Polycotton, composed of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton (245g). The contrast fabric for holster pockets is 100% Polyester Oxford.

How many pockets do these shorts have?

These shorts feature a total of 10 pockets, including multiple utility pockets, zipped pockets, back patch pockets, and tuck-away holster pockets.

Are the holster pockets removable?

The holster pockets are integrated but designed to be tuck-away, meaning they can be folded or secured against the leg when not in use, rather than being fully detachable.

What is the purpose of the gripper elasticated inner waistband?

The gripper elastic helps to keep upper body garments, such as shirts or polos, tucked in and in place, preventing them from riding up during movement.

What size waist does the 'L' size correspond to?

The 'L' size for these shorts corresponds to a UK men's waist size of 34 inches.

Can I wear these shorts in very hot weather?

Yes, they are designed for warmer weather. The polycotton blend offers a balance of breathability and durability, making them suitable for working outdoors in the heat.

How should I care for these shorts to ensure they last?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a medium setting. Avoid dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid using excessive force.

Pockets feel too tight for specific tools

While designed for various tools and smartphones, ensure the item you wish to store fits the pocket dimensions. The holster pockets can be adjusted slightly when not fully loaded.

Elasticated waist losing its stretch

Follow care instructions carefully, avoiding high heat in washing and drying. High temperatures can degrade elastic over time.

Color fading after multiple washes

Ensure you are washing with similar colors and avoiding harsh detergents or bleach. Wash inside out at the recommended temperature.

Cons

  • Regular fit may not suit all body types.
  • Holster pockets are a specific feature that may not be utilized by all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shorts require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the package. Ensure you select the correct size based on your waist measurement for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, the primary compatibility relates to user needs for workwear with ample storage. They are compatible with standard work belts if additional carrying capacity is desired, though the integrated features often negate this need.

  2. Wash with similar colors.
  3. Do not bleach.
  4. Tumble dry on a low setting.
  5. Iron at a medium temperature (max 150°C / 300°F).
  6. Do not dry clean.
