FAQs
What makes the retro cut different from modern shorts?
The retro cut features a shorter length and lower waistband (1.6 inches) compared to modern designs with wider waistbands. This traditional style offers a closer, more streamlined fit that many fighters prefer for authentic Thai boxing aesthetics.
Are these suitable for competition?
Yes! The classic retro design meets all competition standards and is perfect for both training and fighting in the ring.
How should I care for these shorts?
Hand wash in cold water or machine wash on a gentle cycle. Hang dry to preserve the satin material—do not tumble dry.
Will the low waistband stay secure during training?
Absolutely! Despite the lower profile, the waistband is designed to stay comfortably secure without riding up or requiring constant adjustment.
