Questions about Custom Shorts?

FAQ

Everything you need to know about shorts fabrics, decoration methods, leg-print placement, bulk pricing, and delivery.

What's the best fabric for custom shorts?

Depends on the program. Heavyweight fleece and French terry (Comfort Colors, Lane Seven, Cotton Heritage) is the sweat-short and streetwear pick — cozy and built for bold hip screen prints and embroidery. Cotton jersey and ringspun (Los Angeles Apparel, AS Colour, Original Favorites) is the gym and everyday pick. Performance mesh and dazzle is the running and court pick — quick-dry and built for heat-pressed numbers. Cotton-spandex and chino (Bella + Canvas, AS Colour) is the biker-short and cargo choice.

Where do you print or embroider on shorts?

The front leg near the hip is the hero placement — a screen-printed or embroidered logo, wordmark, or number on the front-left leg is the most-seen spot. A matching mark on the front-right leg, a small emblem near the side pocket, and an accent on the back waistband or back hip round out the placements. We keep the design scaled to the leg panel for a clean athletic look.

What's the best decoration for shorts?

Screen printing is the headline — bold plastisol and water-based hip logos, leg wordmarks, and numbers on fleece and cotton-jersey shorts. Full-color DTG shines on cotton and jersey for photographic leg designs. Embroidery adds premium leg wordmarks and hip emblems, and heat-pressed transfers are best for names and numbers on performance mesh and cotton-spandex. Woven and chenille patches and woven labels round out the library.

Are custom shorts machine-washable?

Yes. Follow the garment label — most fleece, cotton-jersey, performance mesh, and cotton-spandex shorts are machine-washable cold and tumble-dried low. Turn inside-out before washing for the longest life on screen-printed, DTG, and heat-pressed decoration. Embroidered emblems and patches are sewn-on and machine-wash safe.

Do you offer bulk pricing on shorts orders?

Yes. Bulk discounts apply at volume across screen print, DTG, embroidery, transfer, and patch runs on the full shorts archive. Reach out for a custom quote tailored to your gym, summer, team, streetwear, or event order.

How quickly can I get custom shorts for a team or summer drop?

Standard production is 10–14 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available for gym-capsule, summer, and team-rollout deadlines. Every order ships with tracking and we plant one tree per order placed.
