Shorts: FAQ

How do I ensure the shorts fit correctly?

Always check the size chart in cm, as Asian sizes often run 1-2 sizes smaller than US/EU standards. Measure a pair of shorts you already own and compare the waist and hip dimensions to the seller's specific table.

How can I verify the fabric quality before buying?

Review the 'Item Description' for specific material percentages, such as 100% cotton or spandex blends. Prioritize listings that include high-resolution macro photos of the fabric texture and stitching details.

What indicators suggest high-quality construction?

Look for reinforced bar-tack stitching at stress points, branded zippers like YKK, and double-layered pocket linings. These technical specs are common in high-rated factory stores and indicate long-term durability.

Will the shorts arrive wrinkled or damaged?

Most shorts are shipped in waterproof poly mailers which protect against moisture but may cause temporary creasing. For the best experience, look for 'Choice' items which include superior packaging and faster logistics.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Fabric Weight and GSM
Check for fabric weight indicators; higher GSM (Grams per Square Meter) typically means thicker, more durable cotton for casual wear, while lower GSM is preferred for lightweight summer activewear.
✓
Inseam Length Selection
Standard modern fits usually range from a 5-inch (athletic) to 7-inch (modern casual) or 9-inch (classic) inseam. Identify your preferred length to avoid a fit that is too long or too short.
✓
Stretch and Recovery
For active or daily use, look for '4-way stretch' or 'Elastane' blends. This ensures the shorts retain their shape after washing and provide a full range of motion during movement.
✓
Hardware and Closures
Premium shorts utilize metal shank buttons and internal drawstring reinforcements. Avoid plastic hardware if you are looking for a pair that will last through multiple seasons.
