Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Granite Shorts are designed for adult males working in warmer conditions, offering durability and ample storage for tools and personal items. Their key benefit lies in the blend of comfort from polycotton and toughness from reinforced areas, alongside practical features like holster pockets. A potential caveat is that the regular fit might not suit everyone, and like many work garments, they require specific care to maintain their performance.

FAQs

What material are the Portwest Granite Shorts made from?

The shell fabric is Kingsmill: 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, with 245g weight. Key high-wear areas are reinforced with abrasion-resistant oxford polyester.

How many pockets do these shorts have?

The Portwest Granite Shorts feature a total of 10 pockets, including specialized tuck-away holster pockets and a pocket designed for smartphones.

Are these shorts suitable for hot weather?

Yes, the polycotton blend offers breathability, and the shorter length makes them ideal for warmer conditions compared to full-length trousers.

Do these shorts offer sun protection?

Yes, the fabric is rated 50+ UPF, which blocks 98% of UV rays, providing good protection against sun exposure.

How should I wash and care for my Granite Shorts?

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

What is the fit like?

The shorts have a regular fit with a half-elasticated waist for added comfort and a secure fit. A gripper elasticated inner waistband helps keep upper garments in place.

Can I carry heavy tools in the holster pockets?

The holster pockets are made from rugged nylon oxford and are designed for durability. They are suitable for carrying common work tools, but overloading may affect comfort and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose

Check the size guide and ensure you selected the correct waist size. The half-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but a significant fit issue may require exchanging for a different size.

Pockets feel stiff or difficult to use

New shorts may have stiff pockets. Repeated use and washing according to care instructions will soften the fabric and improve pocket accessibility.

Color fading after washing

Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoid harsh detergents or excessive bleaching. Line drying in direct sunlight can also cause fading over time.

Seams coming undone

While triple-stitched for durability, extreme stress can cause seams to fail. Contact customer support if this occurs shortly after purchase, as it may indicate a manufacturing defect.
