Price: NZD139.00
Hot on the heels (but cool on the calves) of the WK Supertrousers, we present these to you. bring us your tired, tattered stubbies and your ineffective but cheap boardies. Truly a short that can take the rigours of the building site with aplomb. Feel free to comfortably rest that 150 x 50 on your thigh as you measure it up or check its mate for straightness. As with the WK Supertrousers, the guts of the WKShort is a 12oz super tough european polyester/ cotton canvas. Not the cheapest material in the world (the fabric alone probably costs what the
entire materials and manufacturing cost is for most shorts out there) but we’re yet to find a better material – its combination of durability and breathable comfort is what makes these shorts possible. As with the standard trousers, when you get these you’ll be a little shocked by the stiffness of the fabric. Just like the Supertrosers we need you to have faith – after a few wash and wear cycles they soften to something like thick soft denim – and they’ll stay that way for longer than any other pair of shorts you’ll ever own; truly shorts that wear in, not out.


  • Proofed 12oz C-Canvas WK manufactured in Europe is great to wear and will last for ages
  • Perfectly balances on the smart/casual continuum
  • Bar-tacked at all stress points
  • YKK zip – smooth and strong
  • Phone pocket
  • Weight : 530grams
  • Fabric : Proofed European 12oz WK-Canvas
  • In response to numerous requests from our more out there customers we are offering the shorts in three leg lengths.
  • Standard length which gives nice, total thigh coverage. 
  • The mid-thigh version is around 12 cms shorter than standard length
  • And the risqué shorty short option is a full - you bet ya - 24 cms shorter than standard length.

  • Use mild detergent or pure soap (preferably one that's nice to the earth)
  • Our canvas has a water resistant coating which can shift and discolour through the initial break in period
  • For best results handwash until the garment is broken in machine washing is fine after this
  • Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
  • Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
  • If you get attacked by a pig and the fabric gets holed while saving your reproductive potential send it back and we'll patch it

firstly, delivery to the uk took a week, and when i opened the package i was taken aback at how stiff the fabric was: six washes later they were still
stiff, so i bit the bullet and wore them for a days landscaping, and they haven't been off since! They look as smart as they are tough.
