FAQs
Will the design fade after washing?
No—the Sak Yant design is created using sublimated printing, which bonds the ink directly to the fabric. This ensures the graphics stay bright and vivid even after repeated washes, unlike screen printing which can crack or peel over time.
Do these shorts run small compared to Western sizes?
Muay Thai shorts typically have a more compact fit than Western athletic shorts. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up. Check the waist measurements in our size guide to find your perfect fit.
Can I machine wash these shorts?
Yes, you can machine wash these shorts in cold water on a gentle cycle. We recommend air drying or tumble drying on low heat to preserve the fabric and graphics. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents.
What does "Sak Yant" mean?
Sak Yant refers to traditional Thai sacred tattoos that are believed to offer protection, luck, and spiritual power. The designs on these shorts honour this ancient Thai art form, making them a meaningful piece of authentic fight gear.
