Custom Shorts

What Are Custom Shorts?

Custom shorts are personalised with your company logo, team identity, text or other design using print or embroidery. They give businesses and organisations a practical way to keep branding consistent when warmer weather calls for something lighter than trousers.

The range includes site work shorts for trades and construction, branded shorts for hospitality and events and lightweight personalised shorts for sports teams and schools. Whether you need hard-wearing cargo styles or simple shorts with a logo, there are options to suit different working environments.

Work Shorts vs Sport Shorts 

Site work shorts and sports shorts are built for different jobs. Workwear tends to prioritise storage, durability and ease of movement, while sportswear puts more emphasis on low weight, breathability and moisture management. 

Sweat shorts sit somewhere in between. Their softer feel makes them a comfortable option for gyms, clubs, casual staff uniforms, schools and event teams. 

Printed vs Embroidered Shorts 

The right branding method depends on your shorts design, garment fabric, logo and order quantity. 

DTF printing is useful for detailed, colourful logos on compatible garments, while embroidery gives embroidered shorts a smart, long-lasting finish. Screen printing can also work well for larger quantities, but the right option will depend on the garment, fabric, logo size and required position.

Custom Shorts From Trusted Brands 

A good pair of branded shorts needs to do more than carry your logo. Fit, fabric and durability all matter, particularly when you're ordering uniforms that need to be replaced or reordered later.

The Funky Peach stocks shorts from established workwear and clothing brands including Regatta Professional, Orn, Portwest, Proact, Result Work-Guard and Warrior.

Regatta Professional is a strong choice for practical workwear, with options including traditional work shorts and lighter stretch styles.

Orn and Portwest offer a broad choice for trade and industrial settings, including practical designs suited to regular wear.

Proact specialises more heavily in sports clothing, making it useful for clubs, teams and other active environments.

Result Work-Guard, TuffStuff and Warrior provide work-focused options where durability, storage and everyday practicality are the priority.

Choosing an established brand can also make repeat uniform orders easier when you want to keep colours and styling consistent across a team.

Shorts Material Comparison 

The fabric has a big impact on how a pair of custom shorts feels and performs. Think about where they'll be worn, how physically demanding the job is and how often they'll need washing. 

Polycotton is a popular choice for custom work shorts because it balances durability with everyday comfort and straightforward washing. Polyester is often better suited to active teams where a lighter, quicker-drying fabric is useful.

Stretch fabrics can make a noticeable difference for anyone regularly bending or moving around at work, while selected sports styles use moisture-wicking fabrics to help manage perspiration during activity.

Branded Shorts for Men, Women and Children 

The shorts range includes options for men and women, plus selected children's styles for schools, clubs and junior teams. Colours and sizing vary between garments, so it's worth checking individual product details before ordering.

Choosing a colour that works with your existing uniform and logo can also make your workwear branding feel more consistent. Depending on the garment, you'll find everything from traditional workwear shades to brighter sports and leisure colours.

If you're unsure about fit, sizing, colour or product suitability, our team can help you compare the available options before placing your order.

How to Choose the Right Custom Shorts 

Before ordering, consider:

• Intended use: Are they for site work, hospitality, sport or casual uniform wear?
• Working environment: Think about heat, movement, indoor or outdoor use and how demanding the job is
• Fabric: Choose between practical polycotton, lightweight polyester, cotton or stretch blends
• Fit: Make sure staff can move comfortably throughout the working day
• Storage: Cargo pockets make sense for tradespeople carrying tools and everyday essentials
• Stretch: Useful for jobs involving regular kneeling or climbing
• Branding method: Consider embroidery, DTF printing or another suitable print method
• Logo position: Pockets and seams can affect where branding can be applied
• Budget: Compare garment cost alongside decoration
• Quantity: Larger orders may benefit from more competitive decoration pricing

For construction and trade teams, site work shorts with practical pockets and durable fabrics will usually make more sense. Sweat shorts are better suited to casual uniforms, while sports shorts work well where lightweight fabrics and freedom of movement matter most.

Why Choose Branded Shorts for Uniform Workwear? 

Branded work shorts give employees a lighter uniform option during warmer conditions without losing the consistent look of your company workwear. Adding a logo also makes staff easier to identify when they're working on site, visiting customers or representing the business in public.

The right garment can make day-to-day work more comfortable too. Cargo-pocket designs give tradespeople useful storage, stretch fabrics provide greater freedom of movement and breathable options can help in outdoor or physically active roles.

Branded shorts can work particularly well for:

• Construction
• Electrical
• Plumbing
• Landscaping
• Manufacturing
• Warehousing
• Logistics
• Hospitality
• Retail
• Gyms
• Sports clubs
• Schools
• Events

FAQs: Custom Shorts 

What’s the Difference Between Custom Work Shorts and Sports Shorts? 

Custom work shorts are generally made with durability and practical storage in mind. Sports shorts tend to be lighter and may use moisture-wicking or stretch fabrics to support movement during activity.

The right option depends on where they'll be worn and what the wearer needs to do.

Are Site Work Shorts Suitable for Construction and Trades? 

Yes, provided the individual garment suits the job and your workplace requirements. Look for durable fabrics, a comfortable fit and a pocket layout that works for the wearer.

Cargo and stretch work shorts can be particularly useful across construction, electrical, plumbing, landscaping and warehouse roles.

How Long Does It Take To Receive Personalised Shorts? 

The standard lead time for decorated garments is 10 working days, but express service are available.. Stock availability, artwork approval, order size and decoration method can all affect delivery times, so contact the team before ordering if you're working to a tight deadline. 

What Other Personalised Workwear Can I Order? 

The Funky Peach supplies a full range of branded clothing, including personalised polo shirts, personalised hoodies, personalised T-shirts and personalised joggers and work trousers.

You can also browse all custom workwear or choose from discounted workwear bundles.

Can I Order Custom Shorts in Bulk? 

Yes. The Funky Peach can supply branded shorts for teams and organisations of different sizes, with quantity discounts available across the product range. For particularly large requirements, speak to the team for a tailored quotation. 

Is There a Minimum Order Quantity? 

You can order from just one garment, making personalised shorts suitable for everyone from sole traders to large businesses, schools and sports clubs. 

Which Material Is Best for Work Shorts? 

Polycotton is a strong all-round choice for many trades because it combines durability, comfort and relatively easy care. Cotton feels softer and breathable, while polyester generally dries more quickly.

For active jobs, a stretch blend can provide extra freedom of movement. The best fabric depends on the working environment, washing requirements and what the wearer will be doing.

Can You Add My Company Logo to Shorts? 

Yes. Logo printing and embroidery are available across suitable shorts in the range. The leg or thigh can provide a useful branding position, although seams and pockets may affect exactly where your logo can be applied. We can recommend a suitable position before production.

Which Branding Method is Best for Shorts? 

It depends on the garment and your logo. Embroidery gives suitable heavier fabrics a smart, durable finish, while DTF printing can reproduce detailed and multicolour artwork on compatible garments.

For larger quantities, screen printing may also be suitable and cost-effective. Logo size, fabric, position and order volume should all be considered before choosing a method.

Which Industries Use Custom and Branded Shorts? 

Custom shorts are used across construction, electrical and plumbing trades, landscaping, warehousing, hospitality, retail, gyms, sports clubs, schools and events.

The requirements vary considerably. A tradesperson may need durable branded work shorts with cargo pockets, while a sports club is more likely to prioritise lightweight fabrics and moisture management.
