Shorts

Importance of Work Shorts

Quality work shorts are essential for staying comfortable and productive in warm conditions. They provide breathability and freedom of movement while still delivering the durability and functionality needed for daily tasks on site or in the workshop.

Reinforced fabrics, smart pocket layouts, and practical features such as tool loops and storage options ensure that work shorts can stand up to heavy use without compromising comfort.

Craftsman Hardware partners with respected European brands such as Snickers, Blaklader, and Mascot to offer a wide range of work shorts that balance rugged performance with everyday wearability.

  • Construction: Hard-wearing shorts that withstand the rigours of construction sites while keeping you cool and mobile.
  • Manufacturing: Comfortable, practical styles suited to long shifts in factories, warehouses, and workshops.
  • Outdoor Work: Shorts that offer protection and flexibility for landscaping, maintenance, utilities, and field services.
  • Service Industry: Smart, functional designs that provide ease of movement and convenient pocket storage in fast-paced environments.
