Custom shorts manufacturer in Tirupur.
Fleece, twill and performance shorts with waistbands, pockets and liners built to spec, not cut down from a jogger pattern. From 50 pieces per colour.
Shorts look like the simplest thing in a range and are the easiest to get wrong. The waistband carries the whole garment, the pockets take the daily abuse, and the inseam decides whether the short reads gym, street or resort. A jogger pattern chopped at the knee gives you a wide, shapeless leg and a crotch point that sits in the wrong place.
We pattern shorts from scratch in three families: heavyweight fleece and French terry for streetwear, cotton twill for a cleaner woven look, and lightweight performance knits and wovens for training. Full package covers fabric, fit, decoration, branded trims and packaging.

Three ways to build a short
Pick by how the short will be worn, then set the weight to suit your price point.
Fleece and terry, 240–340 GSM
The streetwear short. Matches a hoodie or crewneck in weight and colour, takes puff and screen graphics well, and is the piece most often sold as half of a summer set.
Cotton twill, 240–300 GSM
A woven short with real structure: cargo pockets, belt loops, clean topstitching. Holds a pressed line and suits utility and workwear-leaning ranges.
Performance, 140–220 GSM
Lightweight knits and wovens with stretch, quick-dry finish and flat seams, for training, running and gym ranges where weight and movement matter more than hand-feel.
Cotton-rich options can be specified in organic cotton, and jersey-backed shorts in cotton jersey where a softer drape is wanted. If you are not sure which weight band matches the feel you have in mind, the GSM guide compares them side by side.
Waistbands, pockets and liners
Waistband build
Elasticated with an internal or exposed band, flat-front with a fixed side adjuster, or a full woven waistband with belt loops and a fly. Elastic width and tension set per fit, so the band does not roll.
Drawcords
Flat or round cord in your own colour, with metal or moulded tips, branded tipping and secured eyelets or buttonholes at the centre front.
Pockets
Side seam, slash, patch or cargo, in a pocketing fabric chosen for the garment rather than whatever is cheapest. Bar-tacked at stress points, with zip or snap closure where the short is built for training.
Liners
Optional mesh or brushed knit liner, attached at the waistband, with a gusset for movement. Specified with or without a support panel depending on the end use.
Inseam and leg
Inseam set to your spec, typically 5 to 9 inches, with a straight, tapered or relaxed leg. Graded across the full size run so the proportion holds at both ends.
Seams and hems
Flatlock or coverstitch on performance styles for chafe-free comfort, double-needle on knit and twill styles, with vents or split hems where the pattern calls for it.
Branding a short
Placement on a short is tight, so method and scale matter more than on a tee.
Embroidery
Thigh or hem logos and small woven badges, the hardest-wearing option on twill and fleece. See embroidery.
Screen printing
Efficient for repeated leg graphics in bulk. Screen printing runs through vetted partner units, managed by our QA team. See screen printing.
Sublimation
All-over graphics and panel colour blocking on polyester performance shorts, printed into the fabric so there is nothing to crack. See sublimation.
DTF transfer
Strong colour on blends and darker grounds, practical for smaller quantities and for placements too small to be worth a screen. See DTF printing.
Branded trims
Woven labels, custom care tags, hem flags, drawcord tipping and your own hardware, fitted in house.
Garment dye and wash
Pigment dye and enzyme washes on cotton-rich shorts for a softer, lived-in finish applied after stitching.
Shorts rarely sell alone. Most brands run them against a tee or hoodie in the same colour story, or build them into a matched co-ord set. Where a range needs both lengths, we pattern the short and the jogger from the same block so the fit reads consistently. Browse the rest of the range on the products hub, or see how small first runs are costed on the low MOQ page.
Shorts Manufacturing: common questions
5 to 6 inches reads short and sporty, 7 inches is the safest all-round length, and 9 inches sits at or below the knee for a relaxed streetwear look. We grade the inseam across sizes so the proportion holds on both the smallest and largest pieces.
Yes. Mesh or brushed knit liners attached at the waistband, with or without a support panel and gusset. Liners are usually specified on performance and training styles and left off fleece and twill shorts.
Yes, and the reliable way to do it is to order both in the same production run so the fabric comes from one dye lot. That is how we build matched sets.
From 50 pieces per style per colour, with sizes split freely inside that colour. Twill and performance styles with zips and multiple pockets cost more per unit at that quantity than a plain fleece short.
Samples take 10–18 days depending on complexity. Bulk runs 28–45 days after sample approval, with cargo and twill styles at the longer end because of the extra operations.
Either. Send a tech pack and we will work to it, or send reference garments and a description and we will pattern from those, then grade the size run. The full-package process sets out how development runs.
