How do you decide which workshorts are best for you?
We get so many tradies coming into our stores looking for help to find the ultimate pair of work shorts that will be awesome to wear all day long. Different brands of tradie inspired workwear will come in different lengths but you need to decide which length is the best for you. Generally once you find that perfect pair of shorts, you will be buying the same ones year in year out.
We stock all the top brands and the FXD Workwear Shorts are one of the best we have, the FXD WS-4 Stretch Elastic Waist Work Shorts (FX02006013) - Khaki - LOD Workwear is a style which features a full elastic waist so no matter the size lunch you have had they will still fit. They are made from organic cotton and recycled polyester stretch ripstop material so if you care for the environment as well these ones are for you as every pair saves 6 recycled bottles from going to landfill.
For the tradies who want a more secure pair of shorts that button at the front you can’t go past the FXD WS-3 Stretch Canvas Work Shorts (FX01616006) - Navy - LOD Workwear which has a nice stretch, a slimmer leg than the standard styles and a traditional length.
FXD do also have some shorter styles so if you prefer to show off a bit of leg then give these ones a whirl FXD WS-2 Cotton Twill Work Short (FX01136005) - Black - LOD Workwear, they don’t have the stretch but with a soft style cotton which is tough wearing these are also a great pair to have and wear.
The best part about the FXD range is that they do have multiple colours to choose from in the work shorts, Navy/Black/Khaki being the standard whilst some also come in a green. If you are looking for a great pair of shorts to make working easier then you can’t go past the FXD Range.
We are always getting asked which other brands are just as good as FXD and Hard Yakka also have some equally great ones. The 3056 Range that Hard Yakka brought out is definitely a rival and we find that they do have some differences with the Hard Yakka ones being perhaps more plain, so if you don’t like your shorts with any trim colours then this range is for you. The Workwear styles shorts they have are similar so we have some short length Hard Yakka Y05115 3056 Ripstop Short Short - LOD Workwear or if you like the regular length these are in the same ripstop material Hard Yakka Y05100 3056 Ripstop Utility Short - LOD Workwear
If you want to look past the traditional short material in the cotton some brands like FXD and Unit Workwear have brought out styles which made out of polyester quick dry material such as the  UNIT Workwear 189138002 Men's Rapid Flex Short - Black - LOD Workwear or the ever popular FXD LS-1 Lightweight Stretch Work Short (FX01136004) - Navy - LOD Workwear. They have a totally amazing stretch to them and are so light even working in the hottest heats they will keep you cooler than most other styles of shorts, not to mention the quick dry material so if you want to throw some water over yourself to cool down it will dry in a flash!
