Imported Product Measurements (Measurements by inches) & Size Conversion Size Bottom Length Waist Hip S 18.1 27.6 0 M 18.5 29.1 0 L 18.9 30.7 0 XL 19.3 32.3 0 2XL 19.7 33.9 0 Men's Drawstring Active Shorts How to measure Choose one of two methods depending on whether you're measuring yourself or a garment you already own. Body measurements (measure yourself) Waist: Wrap a soft tape measure around your natural waist or where you want the shorts to sit. Keep the tape snug but comfortable. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat with feet together. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to where you want the hem to fall. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of your thigh. Garment (flat) measurements Waist (flat): Lay the shorts flat, measure across the top edge from side to side, then double that number for full circumference. Outseam / Total length: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the side seam. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam straight down to the hem. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband. Leg opening: Measure across the hem from side to side and double it for the full opening circumference. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm. If you fall between sizes, opt for the larger size for added comfort or if you plan to layer under the shorts. Materials & features Below are common materials and performance features used for drawstring active shorts. Check the product label or product details for the exact composition of this specific style. Main fabric: Lightweight performance knit—often polyester or a polyester/elastane blend (e.g., ~88–92% polyester + 8–12% elastane) for stretch and shape retention. Lining & pockets: Breathable mesh pocket linings (typically 100% polyester) for ventilation and quick drying. Trim & hardware: Elastic waistband with internal drawcord, reinforced seams, and zip or secure pockets depending on the style. Performance finishes: Moisture-wicking, quick-dry, anti-odor treatments, and sometimes a DWR (durable water repellent) finish or UPF protection on select fabrics. Tip: Look for tags or product details for sustainability certifications (recycled content, OEKO-TEX, bluesign) if that matters to you. About the model The model pictured is 6'1" (185 cm) with a 31" (79 cm) waist and is wearing size M. The shown fit is a mid-thigh, athletic/relaxed fit. If you prefer a slimmer look, consider sizing down; size up for a roomier fit or for layering. Care guide (to keep it lovely longer) Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; turn shorts inside out to protect trims and finishes. Use a mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners and bleach (fabric softeners reduce moisture-wicking performance). Close zippers and secure drawcords before washing to prevent snagging. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. High heat can damage elastic and stretch fibers. Do not iron directly over logos or prints; use a low setting if absolutely necessary and avoid ironing elastic areas. To restore water repellency on DWR-treated shorts, follow the garment label for reproofing instructions or use a wash-in DWR product, then low-heat tumble to reactivate. Store folded in a cool, dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve color and fabric finishes. Style tips Workout: Pair with a fitted performance tee or tank and low-profile training or running shoes. Add compression liners for extra support during long runs. Casual: Combine with a soft crewneck or polo and clean sneakers or slides for a relaxed, everyday athleisure look. Travel: Lightweight and quick-dry fabrics make these ideal for packing—pair with a lightweight hoodie and slip-on shoes for comfort on the go. Layering: Wear moisture-wicking boxer briefs or compression shorts underneath to prevent chafing and add coverage. Color & proportion: Dark shorts pair well with brighter tops; lighter shorts look great with muted or monochrome layers. Choose an inseam length that balances with your torso for a flattering silhouette (shorter for high-mobility activities, longer for more coverage).
