Product details

Ideal especially for the warmer months, these Painter's Shorts are made using 100% soft cotton drill fabric with multiple pockets, enabling you to decorate with your most important tools close at hand. Comfort comes as standard: the cotton is pre-shrunk during the manufacturing process so you don't have to worry about it shrinking any further when it's machine washed and the waistband is shaped and elasticated for a fit that is snug without being restrictive. Being natural cotton it will absorb flicks and spots of paint so they aren't transferred onto other surfaces. There is plenty of capacity for tools with twin front and back pockets, a scissor/tool loop and a key loop, as well as a front pocket with hook and loop close flap to store and protect your mobile phone.

FAQs

Our most commonly asked questions relating to this range. You can find a wider set of FAQs here or if you still have any questions about a specific product, feel free to contact us.

What is the difference between ProDec, ProDec Advance and ProDec Contractor?

ProDec offers the most comprehensive range of products for the decorating trade, while ProDec Advance represents innovative products such as the Ice Fusion paint brush and roller collection, Titan roller frame and scraper, plus the Super Cling dust sheets. ProDec Contractor offers up a small range of entry point trade essentials.

Can you recommend specific workwear items that are designed to resist paint and other common job-related stains?

The ProDec Advance range features hardwearing polycotton fabric with stain-resistant coating.

What about workwear for women?

Although the classic bib & brace still has a big fan club, we know that decorators are increasingly favouring trousers to work in. Whilst both men and women wear trousers, we know that women’s clothing is cut differently, which is why we have a Women’s Painter’s Trouser. It has all the same features and functionality as the men’s, but was designed by women to ensure a better fit.

What are Wipe Mate and Pouch Mate all about?

The classic painter’s trousers have stood the test of time and thanks to clever storage designs in particular they’re much more functional than ever. But it’s not all about pockets: Wipe Mate is a piece of stain-resistant fabric that attaches to ProDec Advance trousers and gives you somewhere to wipe your hands that doesn’t mean getting your whites covered in paint, caulk or anything else and helping them look good for longer. Pouch Mate takes one of the best features of a bib & brace – the wide storage pouch – and adds it to trousers.

Both Wipe Mate and Pouch Mate attach via a simple button system and can be detached and washed separately.

Which is the best fabric?

This is one that’s down to personal choice.

Cotton drill is the original fabric for painters’ whites and it has a soft handle which feels comfortable against your skin. It’s fairly absorbent, so spots of paint won’t wipe off easily, so it gets dirtier more quickly.

Polycotton is a durable fabric that doesn’t feel as soft as cotton, but it’s less absorbent so it generally looks better for longer. Plus you can add a stain-resistant coating to it, like on ProDec Advance Trousers and Bib & Brace, which enhances this even more.

Where can I buy ProDec decorators’ workwear?

ProDec decorators’ workwear is available via many of our stockists, and you can also find them on leading online retail sites.

Owing to the number of products in the ProDec range, not all retailers will stock all our products so it’s worth contacting them before you visit. But if they don’t have what you want, all stockists are able to order any ProDec product and get it for you within a couple of days.

I purchased a pair of the ProDec shorts. These are perfect for working in warm climates and very useful due to the numerous pockets.
