Reviews

Best Shorts and Pants I’ve Ever Worn!

"Truewerk makes some of the best workwear I’ve ever owned! Their shorts and pants are incredibly lightweight, comfortable, and durable. My wife calls Truewerk my casual uniform. They look great, fit perfectly, and are so comfortable. Perfect for a long day on the job. Highly recommend!"

— Richard M. (5/5)

Awesome shorts

"I've already owned the T1 for a while, and these shorts are basically a short version of the T1. Super convenient phone pocket, nice sized cargo pocket. Great to wear all summer and very maneuverable, just like the pants. All I wear is Truewerk now. They are so nice I can never look back to Dickies and jeans"

— Ben K. (5/5)

My favorite shorts

"Hands down I enjoy wearing these shorts in the spring, summer and fall in California, though I don't wear them to the jobsite, these shorts are my go to for the weekend because whatever activity I may find myself doing these shorts hold up the same standards as their T1 pants line up which I have."

— Raul F. (5/5)

Best shorts ever, not just for work!

"Florida guy here, working multi-trade jobs out in the heat and summer weather. I have a variety of other brands, and some are very good, but nowhere near the fit and quality of these WerkShorts. I was skeptical of the fabric at first as it seemed more like swim trunks than durable workwear, but oh was I wrong. Now after a year in the first two pair with no issues and no damage from the daily grind of everything from drywall to tree work, to time at the range, I have no issues and the shorts look pretty good. I've stopped wearing the other brands now, for the most part. I wear these shorts and the T1 WerkPant virtually every day, working or not. These have literally changed the way I dress daily. On top of the fabric, the pockets and design are excellent. Other brands just seem to miss the mark here and there, and yet cost the same or more. I beat these up and just bought more!"

— Dean P. (5/5)

Great shorts!

"These are almost my favorite shorts. Second only to the Cloud Werk short. If these had a little stretch in the waistband area, they’d be my favorite shorts. Light weight, comfortable, with just the right amount of pockets. I was a Duluth fan for years, but the T1 and Cloud Werk shorts have cured me of that."

— Mark C. (5/5)

GREAT work short!

"I'm an electrical contractor. I bought 6 of these shorts in assorted colors. I immediately got rid of the old cargo shorts I wore for years. I can't speak highly enough of these shorts. The quality, comfort and durability are beyond any work short I've ever owned. I've been in the business for over 30 years. They look great too. My wife mentioned to me how great they look, which she rarely does😄 There are pockets in every place you need them. These shorts are also very versatile as you can wear them as nice casual wear. Thank you Truewerk, great job!"

— Danny S. (5/5)

Best Workpants/Casual Pants Ever

"I absolutely love Truewerk T1 and T2 pants! I now own at least seven pairs and they are my go-to pants instead of jeans. They are hard-wearing, quick-drying and launder beautifully!"

— Dan B. (5/5)

Great travel shorts

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Quality, Durability, and Comfort! I absolutely love my Truewerk T1 pants and shorts! I work in IT, and these have become my go-to clothing for work. The durability is incredible. I purchased my first pairs back in 2022, and after countless washes and years of regular use, the colors still look great, and there isn't a single hole or tear! I also wear the shorts when traveling to tropical climates. They're lightweight, comfortable, stylish, and incredibly practical. One of my favorite features is the thoughtful pocket placement. The phone pocket is perfectly positioned for easy access, and the secure zippered pocket is ideal for keeping my keys and other valuables safe. It's rare to find clothing that combines durability, comfort, functionality, and style this well. I highly recommend Truewerk! They've definitely earned my loyalty as a customer."

— Gene L. (5/5)

I like these more than the pants, pockets still meh.

"Material is good. Horizontally-cut front waist pockets are appreciated, as is the reinforced outer edge. The back pockets are too wide, notebooks and phone sit funny. One dedicated pen pocket isn't really sufficient. Would like at least two long, tall, open pockets to slide in zip ties, hammers, screwdrivers, and similar. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up over the coming year on the boat."

— Benjamin H. (4/5)

Shorts Review

"I order 5 pair. 1 pair was the wrong size. Return process was easy and quick. Even though the wrong size showed up for 1 pair of the shorts, they're still getting a 5 star for me."

Q&A

Back pockets…… flaps? Open? I’d like open. I hate flaps.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for reaching out. The T1 Werkshorts have two open back pockets. Thank you, TRUEWERK
What length are the shorts in the pictures? 9 or 11?
Hi there, Most of the pictures displayed are a 9" inseam. An 11" inseam will be right over the kneecap for the average person, whereas 9" tends to be above the kneecap. Thank you, TRUEWERK
What length is the inseam?
Hi Charlene, Men's T1 Werkshorts come in either 9" or 11" inseam, whereas Women's come in 9" inseam. Thank you, TRUEWERK
I’m in pressure washing and we use sodium hypochlorite (12.5% bleach). I use bleach resistant shirts, which are 100% nylon. I see the shorts are 85% nylon and do you know if they will bleach out?
Hi Colin, Thanks for reaching out. Currently, none of our products are bleach resistant. Thank you, TRUEWERK
Does the waistband of T1 short stretch or is it fixed?
Hi, Mark! Thanks for reaching out. The T1 WerkShort will have a fixed waistband. It has a slight stretch, but not enough to make a significant impact on sizing.
