Custom Shorts Fabric Options and GSM Guide
What Fabrics Are Used for Custom Shorts Manufacturing?
Shorts fabric determines weight, stretch, breathability, and durability. For athletic and gym shorts, 140–180 GSM moisture-wicking polyester or 4-way stretch is standard. For streetwear and cargo shorts, 240–320 GSM French terry or cotton twill provides the structure and weight buyers expect at retail.
Ready One stocks and sources the following fabrics specifically for shorts production:
| Fabric | GSM Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture-Wicking Polyester | 140–180 GSM | Athletic shorts, running shorts, team kits |
| 4-Way Stretch Lycra | 200–260 GSM | Cycling shorts, compression shorts |
| French Terry | 260–320 GSM | Streetwear shorts, co-ord sets |
| Cotton Twill | 240–300 GSM | Cargo shorts, chino-style shorts |
| Quick-Dry Nylon | 100–150 GSM | Board shorts, swim shorts |
| Mesh (polyester) | 80–120 GSM | Basketball shorts, breathable panels |
| Ripstop Nylon | 100–150 GSM | Utility cargo shorts, outdoor use |
Ready One advises on fabric selection based on the shorts” intended use, target market, and retail price point. For example, a 300 GSM French terry streetwear short suits a premium brand at a mid-to-high price point. In contrast, a 160 GSM moisture-wicking polyester athletic short suits a sports team kit where lightweight performance is the priority.
Waistband and Construction Options
Waistband construction affects both the fit and the finish of a custom short. Ready One produces three waistband types as standard: the full elasticated waistband with internal drawstring, the flat-front waistband for chino and cargo styles, and the custom woven waistband with brand name woven directly into the elastic. Additionally, drawstring tip options include metal aglets, custom moulded tips, and printed cord ends — all available as standard branding details.
What Decoration and Branding Options Are Available?
Ready One offers embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer vinyl, sublimation, and DTF printing for custom shorts — all in-house. Sublimation is the most popular method for all-over print athletic shorts and basketball kits. Embroidery suits structured streetwear and cargo shorts where a professional logo placement on the thigh or waistband is required.
The full range of decoration options for custom shorts includes:
- Embroidery — thigh logos, waistband branding, back pocket text
- Screen printing — leg graphics, side panel prints, waistband text
- Sublimation — all-over print on polyester shorts, basketball kits, sports sets
- Heat transfer vinyl — player numbers, team names, reflective details
- DTF printing — detailed multi-colour artwork on thigh panels
- Custom woven waistband — brand name or logo woven into waistband elastic
- Custom woven labels — interior labels, side seam labels, care labels
Moreover, custom drawstring cords in brand colours are available for all elasticated-waist styles. Ready One produces drawstring samples alongside the pre-production garment sample so all branding details are approved together before bulk production begins.
