Questions
How do I choose the correct size?
Muay Thai shorts typically run smaller than Western sizes. We recommend checking the provided size chart against your waist measurement, and if you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit.
What is the best way to care for these satin shorts?
To maintain the integrity of the satin fabric and the print, hand wash these shorts in cold water with a mild detergent. Hang them to air dry; avoid machine washing or using a dryer, as high heat can damage the material and cause shrinkage.
Are these shorts suitable for other combat sports?
While designed specifically for Muay Thai, the unrestricted movement and durable construction make them suitable for kickboxing and other stand-up striking disciplines. They are not ideal for grappling due to the short cut and lack of stretch.
What does 'Handmade in Thailand' mean for quality?
'Handmade in Thailand' signifies adherence to traditional Muay Thai apparel manufacturing techniques, often involving skilled artisans. This typically results in robust stitching and attention to detail, ensuring authenticity and durability.
