Imported Product Measurements (Measurements by inches) & Size Conversion Size Bottom Length Waist Hip M 14.8 31.9 40.2 L 15.2 33.1 41.7 XL 15.6 34.3 43.3 2XL 15.9 35.4 44.9 3XL 16.3 36.6 46.5 Men's Plus Size Drawstring Printed Shorts How to measure Measure the garment (recommended for listings) Lay the shorts flat on a smooth surface with the waistband closed and fabric smoothed. Use a soft tape measure and record in inches or centimeters. Waist (flat): Measure across the top of the waistband from one side to the other. Multiply that number by 2 to get the circumference. For elastic drawstrings, record both relaxed and fully stretched measurements. Hip: Measure across the widest part of the shorts (typically 2–3" / 5–8 cm below the crotch seam) and multiply by 2. Front rise: Measure from the top center of the front waistband down to the crotch seam. Back rise: Measure from the top center of the back waistband down to the crotch seam. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam along the inside leg to the hem. Outseam (length): Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the hem along the side seam. Thigh: Measure across the leg 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam and multiply by 2. Leg opening: Measure across the hem and multiply by 2. Tip: Take each measurement with the fabric relaxed (unless showing stretched dimensions). For customer guidance, list flat measurements plus recommended body measurements and suggested ease (usually 1–3" / 2.5–7.5 cm of extra room for comfort). Measure your body (to pick the right size) Waist: Measure around your natural waist or where you normally wear shorts—keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips. Inseam preference: Measure a pair of shorts you like from crotch seam to hem to match length. Materials & fabric details Typical construction and features for printed drawstring plus-size shorts: Main fabric Lightweight printed woven or knit. Common options are 100% polyester (quick-dry, colorfast—often printed by sublimation) or cotton/poly blends (softer hand). Polyester is durable, dries quickly and holds prints well; cotton blends feel softer and more breathable. Lining Some styles include a soft mesh lining (usually 100% polyester) for comfort and breathability; others are unlined for a lighter feel. Waistband & drawstring Elastic encased waistband with an adjustable drawcord. Drawstrings are typically cotton-blend or braided synthetic cords. Trim & hardware Eyelets, buttons or zipper details (if present) are usually metal or plastic—follow the garment label for any special care. Note: Check the product label or spec sheet for exact fiber percentages and any special finishes (water-repellent, UPF, anti-odor). The guidance above describes the most common materials and their expected behavior. Model information Reference model: Height 6'0" (183 cm), Waist 40" (102 cm), Hip 46" (117 cm). The model is wearing size 3XL and the shorts present a relaxed, mid-thigh fit. Fit advice: If you prefer a roomier, more relaxed look, consider sizing up. For a closer fit, choose your usual size and compare with the garment measurements provided. Care guide (to keep it lovely longer) Machine wash cold with like colors; turn the shorts inside out to protect printed surfaces. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or chlorine-based cleaners. Avoid fabric softeners on moisture-wicking or quick-dry fabrics—they can reduce performance. Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to dry to reduce fading and shrinkage. If ironing is needed, iron on low heat on the reverse side only; do not iron directly on printed areas. Spot-treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; always test on an inconspicuous area first. Store folded in a cool, dry place out of prolonged direct sunlight to preserve color and print. If the garment has special finishes (water-repellent, anti-odor), follow label instructions to maintain those properties. Style tips Let the shorts be the focal point: pair bold prints with a solid tee or polo in a complementary tone pulled from the pattern. Beach/pool look: quick-dry tank or tee + slides or flip-flops; add an open linen shirt for a put-together vibe. Casual day out: white or neutral sneakers and a crisp tee balance patterned shorts nicely. Active use: pair with moisture-wicking performance tops and low-profile trainers. For mixed patterns, keep one print dominant and the other subtle—alternatively wear a neutral solid to avoid clashing. Shorter inseams read more modern; longer lengths offer a classic, conservative look—choose by personal preference and activity. Accessories: sunglasses, a simple watch, or a woven belt can elevate the outfit without overpowering the print.
