Trutex School Shorts (2004)


Figure 1.--Trutex offered there styles of grey school shorts. They were: 1) Bermuda, 2) Dorset. and 3) Essex. I understand the term Bermuda, it was a reconizeable style of shorts--somewhat longer than regulr school shorts. I am not sure why the other two were called Dorset and Essex. This is an ad from a trade publication, not a mass-marketing retailing publication.

Trutex offered there styles of grey school shorts. They were: 1) Bermuda, 2) Dorset. and 3) Essex. I understand the term Bermuda, it was a reconizeable style of shorts--somewhat longer than regulr school shorts. I am not sure why the other two were called Dorset and Essex. A HBC reader writes, "Essex and Dorset are Counties in the South of England. Both are fairly wealthy with a high proportion of private schools - hence my guess is Trutex are trying to create a brand image based on these names."
