VS Wear designs and manufactures custom lawn bowls shorts for Australian bowls clubs, with four-way stretch fabric panels that enable unrestricted movement through the delivery motion rather than a generic short adapted from another sport.
Every pair is made factory-direct and backed by a free design service, genuinely unlimited revisions and a 100% remake guarantee: if the delivered shorts do not match the artwork you signed off, we remake them.
From coastal clubs through to inland associations genuinely dealing with Australia's diverse climate conditions, our design team supplies shorts built to genuinely perform through a full session on the green, not just look correct while standing still in a fitting room, since a bowls delivery puts genuinely different demands on a garment than most people ever stop to consider.
A bowls delivery involves a genuine, physically repetitive range of motion through the hips and legs, so the fabric and pocket layout are engineered around that reality rather than borrowed from a generic short.
Four-way stretch fabric panels enable unrestricted movement through the delivery motion, and deep reinforced pockets are specifically designed for lawn bowls marker storage, a genuinely sport-specific detail a generic short simply does not offer. Flatlock seaming eliminates chafing and irritation during movement, an important detail across a long session that can run for hours without a genuine break. A poorly finished seam that feels fine for the first end of a match can become a genuine source of discomfort by the closing stages of a long pennant fixture, which is exactly the kind of detail that separates a garment built specifically for lawn bowls from a generic short adapted from a different sport.
Running several sessions a week through a full pennant season? Call 1800 845 056 and we can match the fabric weight to how often your members are out on the green.
Moisture-wicking technology maintains comfort during extended outdoor sessions, keeping members comfortable through the heat of a long afternoon on the green.
Durable construction withstands regular wear and frequent laundering across a long bowls season that can run for months without a genuine break, since a single pair of shorts is often worn week after week for social bowls, club days and pennant fixtures alike, rather than reserved purely for match day. Reinforced seams and quality fabric matter more here than they might for a garment worn only occasionally. A shorts fabric that thins or fades after only a few dozen washes lets the whole club down, especially when members wear it to represent the club at inter-club, district and state fixtures rather than only on their home green.
Multiple length options run from traditional mid-thigh to contemporary above-knee athletic cuts, so your club can choose the exact style that genuinely suits its dress standards and members' individual preferences.
Waistband options include elastic-back and traditional button-fly designs, so members can choose between a classic, formal tailored look or a more relaxed, forgiving everyday fit. Traditional clubs and pennant competitions often favour the button-fly for its established, formal look, while social bowls and training sessions suit the comfort of an elastic-back waistband. Our consultation process addresses length, pocket configuration, waistband style and fabric weight together, so the finished shorts genuinely reflect a real set of decisions rather than a default template applied without any real thought to how your club actually plays. Pocket depth is worth genuine consideration too, since a marker that sits too shallow risks falling out during a bending delivery, while a pocket that is too deep makes retrieving the marker awkward mid-play. Our deep reinforced pockets are sized specifically around this practical need, not just added as a generic feature because other sports shorts have pockets.

VS Wear serves clubs across Australia's diverse climate conditions, from coastal clubs dealing with humidity and sea breezes through to inland associations facing dry heat and dust.
Fabric and construction choices are made with that genuine climate range in mind, rather than assuming every club plays under the same conditions. A shorts fabric that performs well in a humid coastal club needs to work just as well in a dry inland town, and moisture-wicking technology paired with durable, breathable fabric addresses both environments without compromise. Clubs near the coast often deal with salt air and higher humidity, which can be harder on fabric and stitching over time than a dry inland climate, while clubs further inland face more direct, intense sun exposure and larger day-to-day temperature swings between an early morning start and a hot afternoon finish. A single fabric specification built to handle only one of those environments would genuinely let clubs down in the other, which is why the construction here is chosen to hold up across the full range of conditions Australian bowls clubs actually play in, not just the conditions of a single region.

Our production system ensures consistent sizing and quality across bulk orders, with individual replacement capability maintaining uniform consistency, so a single pair replaced mid-season still matches the rest of your club's order exactly, without a visible difference in shade or fabric that would stand out against the rest of the squad. This is a genuine advantage of ordering through a single, consistent production process rather than sourcing top-up items from wherever happens to have stock, since consistency across a bulk order is only as reliable as the weakest link in how it was produced and maintained over time. Because your approved design and colours stay on file, replacing an individual item or reordering for new members is straightforward and does not require redesigning from scratch.
Common questions from bowls clubs ordering custom shorts.
Shorts come in several lengths, from a traditional mid-thigh cut favoured by established clubs through to a more contemporary above-knee athletic style. Your club picks the length that fits its dress code and how members prefer to play.
The pockets are cut deep and reinforced so a bowls marker sits securely through a bending delivery without falling out, and stays easy to reach mid-end. It is a bowls-specific detail rather than a generic sports-short pocket.
Orders start at a minimum of 20 units per design. Give us a call and we can walk through how that works for your club's numbers and any mixed sizing.
Finished shorts are made and dispatched within a guaranteed 3 to 4 weeks of you approving the design.
You can choose a tailored button-fly waistband for a formal club look, or an elastic-back waistband for a more forgiving, relaxed fit. Many clubs mix the two across playing and social wear.
Yes. During the design consultation we set length, pocket layout, waistband and fabric weight around your club's dress code, so the finished shorts sit comfortably within traditional pennant and club standards.
Yes. Because your approved design and colours are kept on file, a single replacement pair or a top-up for new members is produced to match the original order exactly, with no visible difference in shade or fabric.
The shorts use four-way stretch panels for free movement through the delivery, plus moisture-wicking fabric to stay comfortable across a long, warm session on the green.
Yes. The fabric and construction are chosen to handle both humid coastal greens and dry inland heat, so a club in either setting gets shorts that hold up in its own conditions.
