AS Colour Beach Shorts 17″ | 5903

Description

The AS Colour Beach Shorts deliver what most promotional shorts miss — a genuine 17-inch outseam with a relaxed cut that actually looks like beach apparel, not athletic surplus. At 130GSM in 100% cotton, these sit lighter than most casual shorts while maintaining enough body to hold decoration without distortion. The fabric has natural drape without feeling flimsy, which matters when you’re printing a logo that needs to lay flat across movement.

Who Orders It

Surf and skate brands building summer capsule collections. Beach resorts and coastal hospitality programs outfitting seasonal staff. Summer camps and youth programs needing durable swim-adjacent apparel. Music festivals and outdoor event merch. Vacation rental brands creating guest amenity packages. Brewery taprooms with outdoor seating programs. Lifestyle brands that want their logo associated with leisure, not the office.

Decoration

The 100% cotton construction accepts screen printing cleanly — ink absorbs into the fiber rather than sitting on top, which gives you that soft vintage hand-feel after washing. DTG prints well on lighter colorways with proper pretreatment. For embroidery, the 130GSM weight is workable but keep designs under 8,000 stitches to avoid puckering on the lighter fabric. Left leg placement is standard for most programs. The relaxed fit means you’re decorating a flatter surface than athletic shorts — fewer wrinkles to work around.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on these shorts?
Screen printing is the most popular choice — the cotton takes ink well and cures to a soft hand. DTG works on lighter colors. Embroidery is viable but keep stitch counts moderate given the lighter fabric weight.

Are these good for staff uniforms at a beach resort or pool club?
Yes — the relaxed cut and cotton breathability make them practical for outdoor hospitality. The elasticated waist with drawcord accommodates different body types without looking sloppy.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a relaxed fit through the leg. The 17-inch outseam hits above the knee on most frames. Order your standard waist size.
