The S at the end of the reference stands for stretch, and here it is no mere decoration: the fabric is 46% cotton, 38% EME and 16% polyester, 240 g/m². It is a heavier fabric than the twill of the 344 Bermuda shorts — 240 versus 200 g/m² — and at the same time elastic, which in work trousers means you can squat down without the garment pulling at the knee or the crotch.

👷 What jobs they are for
Installations, plumbing and electrical work: lots of time spent squatting.
Industrial maintenance and technical support.
Construction sites and renovations in summer.
Gardening and municipal services.
Any job where rigid Bermuda shorts end up tearing at the crotch.
Colors: black, navy blue, white, gray, sand beige and navy
🧺 Care
Machine wash at 40°. Do not go up to 60°: high heat shortens the life of the elastic fiber.
Fasten the Velcro before washing.
Air dry. The tumble dryer is what degrades a stretch fabric the most.
Iron at medium temperature, never high.
💡 Tip: A stretch fabric is ruined by heat, not by use. If your company sends its clothing to an industrial laundry that washes at 60° and tunnel-dries, these Bermuda shorts will lose elasticity within a few months and end up bagging at the knees. In that case, the 344 Bermuda shorts or the 103007 in 65/35 twill are a better choice, as they withstand that treatment without flinching. Stretch is for clothing that is washed at home or on a gentle cycle.
