CUSTOM SHORTS PROGRAMS
Custom Shorts for Clothing Brands
Develop cotton and cotton-blend shorts for your brand, including terry, waffle-knit and pique options. Coordinate fabric, fit, wash and branding requirements through authorized manufacturing partners, with specifications confirmed on the approved sample.
Send a fit reference, fabric direction, estimated quantity, branding and delivery window for a focused review.
What should be approved on a shorts sample?
Shorts depend on more than waist size. Define outseam, inseam, rise, leg opening, waistband height, elastic tension, drawcord, pocket construction and the intended balance between volume and length.
For washed and distressed programs, approve shade range, seam appearance, abrasion placement and dimensional change. Boxing and panelled styles also need alignment, reinforcement and movement checks.
Test comfort and recovery
Check elastic tension, drawcord security, waistband height and repeated stretch.
Control wash and details
Approve color range, distressing, pockets, panels, hems, labels and decoration.
