Men's Plus Size Drawstring Pocketed Shorts | Khaki / M 100400924232433

How to measure

To find the best fit, measure yourself or a favorite pair of shorts with a soft tape measure. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed — not pulled tight. Measurements below are in inches (cm in parentheses).

1. Waist — Measure around the waistband where you normally wear your shorts. If measuring a laid-flat pair, measure straight across the top of the waistband and double that number.
2. Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
3. Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem. This is the finished inseam length.
4. Outseam (overall length) — Measure from the top of the waistband down the side seam to the hem.
5. Front rise — Measure from the top center of the front waistband down to the crotch seam.
6. Thigh — Measure 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across the leg; double that number for thigh circumference.

Quick tips: measure wearing light undergarments, stand straight, and if you like a roomier fit add 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm). Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Typical material details for this style (always check the garment label for exact composition):

• Main fabric: Breathable cotton-blend knit (example: 60% cotton / 40% polyester) — soft, durable, and low-wrinkle.
• Stretch option: Some versions use a stretch blend (example: 95% cotton / 5% elastane) for added mobility.
• Pocket lining: Lightweight cotton or poly-cotton for comfort and durability.
• Drawstring & trim: Braided cotton or cotton-blend drawcord; metal or plastic aglets; reinforced stitching at stress points.

Why this matters: cotton gives softness and breathability, polyester adds quick-dry and shape retention, and elastane provides stretch. Refer to the product label for the exact fabric percentages for this specific item.

Model information

Reference notes to help judge fit (example):

• Height: 6'1" (185 cm)
• Build: average/athletic
• Waist: 40" (102 cm)
• Wearing size: 2XL
• Fit on model: relaxed and comfortable, shorts hit just above the knee (approximately a 9" inseam on this model).

Fit advice: if you prefer extra room for activities or layering, choose one size up. If you prefer a sleeker, more tailored look, select your usual size. Check the product size chart for precise measurements.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Turn the shorts inside out to protect the fabric and pocket bags.
2. Use a mild detergent; avoid chlorine bleach and harsh chemicals that can weaken fibers and fade color.
3. Secure or tuck drawstrings and empty pockets before washing to prevent tangling and damage.
4. Tumble dry low or line dry. High heat can shrink cotton and degrade elastic in waistbands or trims.
5. Remove promptly from the dryer and smooth or reshape while slightly damp. Iron on low if needed, avoiding direct contact with any hardware.
6. Avoid fabric softeners on stretch blends (they can reduce elasticity). Spot-clean stains promptly with cool water and gentle soap.
7. Store folded in a drawer; avoid hanging by the waistband long-term to prevent stretching.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: Pair with a soft tee or Henley and low-top sneakers for easy everyday style.
• Smart-casual: Combine with a short-sleeve linen or cotton shirt and loafers or boat shoes for a lifted warm-weather outfit.
• Active & travel: Wear with a moisture-wicking tee, lightweight zip hoodie and trainers—deep pockets keep essentials secure.
• Beach-ready: Match with a tank or short-sleeve button-up and slides; quick-dry blends are ideal near water.
• Color pairing: Neutrals (navy, khaki, grey, black) mix easily with most tops; bolder shorts work well with solid, muted tops to balance the look.
• Pro tip: Choose an inseam that complements your height—shorter (7–8") for a sporty vibe, mid (9–10") for classic proportions, longer (11"+) for more coverage—then balance with footwear and top length.
