Wholesale Cotton Shorts & Blank Apparel

Cotton shorts, particularly those made from 100% ringspun cotton or high-cotton blends, offer a smooth and stable surface that is ideal for various decoration techniques. The natural fibres absorb ink effectively during screen printing and DTG (Direct-to-Garment) processes, resulting in vibrant colours and long-lasting designs. For embroidery, the tight weave of cotton twill or heavy jersey provides the necessary support for intricate stitching without puckering. This makes our blank cotton shorts a premier choice for designers and businesses looking to create high-quality branded apparel or promotional merchandise that maintains its integrity after multiple washes.

Yes, our selection includes heavy-duty work shorts specifically designed for trade professionals. Brands like Result and Premier Workwear offer shorts made from durable poly-cotton blends, such as the 270g/m2 Work-Guard Action Shorts. These garments combine the breathability of cotton with the hardwearing properties of polyester. They often feature reinforced seams, bar tacking at stress points, and multiple functional pockets to withstand the rigours of manual labour. These are excellent for those in the construction or manufacturing sectors who need reliable workwear that provides both comfort and performance throughout the working day.

The difference lies in the knit or weave of the fabric. Jersey cotton shorts are lightweight and stretchy, similar to T-shirt fabric, making them perfect for gym shorts or loungewear. Fleece cotton shorts have a brushed or unbrushed interior for added warmth and a soft feel, often used for casual athletic wear. Chino shorts are made from cotton twill, which is a sturdier, woven fabric that provides a more structured and professional appearance. Chinos are ideal for corporate uniforms, golf shorts, or smart-casual retail collections, offering a versatile balance between durability and style.

Our inventory includes a wide variety of fits to suit all requirements. We stock specific men's classic fit chino shorts, women's retro-style shorts with contrast binding, and unisex brushed fleece sweat shorts. Gender-specific designs ensure a better fit for different body types, such as the tailored waistlines found in our women's performance chinos or the relaxed, straight-cut styles for men. Many of our products also feature tear-away or brand-free labels, making them perfect for rebranding and resale. This variety allows businesses to source a complete range of apparel for diverse teams or customer bases from a single wholesale supplier.
