North Sails Freedom chino shorts
The North Sails Freedom chino shorts are a solid choice for crews and team members who need a smart, comfortable short that moves between deck, dock and downtime without looking out of place in either. Cut in a relaxed chino style, they sit in that practical middle ground between workwear and leisurewear, making them a popular option for branded team apparel, sailing crews and hospitality staff alike.
Available across an exceptionally wide size range, from 28 to 58, they genuinely work for a full crew rather than a handful of it. The seven colourways include classic navy blue and white alongside warmer options like honey and grenadine, giving plenty of scope for colour-coordinated uniforms or branded outfitting programmes.
If you are kitting out a team and want consistent, presentable shorts that carry a logo well and stand up to regular wear, these are worth a close look. Get in touch with Crew-Tex to request a quote for your group order.
