Questions
Pants/Shorts FAQ
What ounce weight is best for everyday denim?
12 to 14 ounces strikes the best balance between durability and comfort. Anything above 16oz is rigid and better suited for dedicated enthusiasts.
How do I measure inseam correctly?
Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg along the inside. For relaxed fits, add 1–2cm if you prefer stacking at the ankle.
Are athletic shorts in the spreadsheet moisture-wicking?
Most athletic shorts use polyester blends with moisture-wicking treatments, but check the material breakdown in each listing.
