These shorts are made to measure from ultra-thin glossy PU-coated nylon taffeta, a high gloss fabric which feels very light and silky, and which is normally used to create the outer shell of down jackets. For these shorts, I use my usual patterns for hi-cut sprinter shorts, but instead of creating a continuous waistband, I make the shorts fully separable at the sides. They are held together with one snap stud on each side.


I make these shorts personally for you from scratch to your preferred size and have several different colours to choose from. All sizes are available from XS to 3XL.


NB: As standard, I make the shorts with BLACK acetate satin trim around the legs, as in the photos. If you would prefer a different colour at no extra charge, please send me a note with your preference. You can choose from WHITE, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, TURQUOISE, ROYAL BLUE, NAVY BLUE, SILVER or PALE BLUE.


The shorts are machine-washable up to 40 degrees, should not be ironed and should be left to drip dry.


Just choose your size from the drop-down menu when ordering.


You receive a brand new unworn pair, made to order - the shorts worn in the pictures are not sent.

NEW BUYERS: I strongly recommend that you order just one pair to start with. That way, you can be sure that the size and cut of the design will work for you.



If your size isn't listed, then let me know and I'll see what I can do!


I can also adapt the following measurements to your specific requirements:


  • Inside leg
  • Waistband to crotch measurement
  • Unstretched waistband (i.e. the length of elastic used)
  • Fully stretched waistband (i.e. how far they will stretch to the maximum)


Just ask me and most of the time it will be possible at no extra cost.


I have a lot more images of different designs that I have created with this fabric. Just get in touch if you want to discuss further.



Any other questions, give me a shout.

UPDATE - 31/12/20

SHIPPING

The UK has now left the EU and will be trading under its own rules from now on. This may mean that packages shipped from the UK to the EU will take longer than they used to, due to customs inspections.

In order to help you keep track of your orders in the event of any delay, I will be shipping all orders going outside the UK from now on with a tracking number. (If you don't want tracked mailing, however, you can request an invoice when you place your order, instructing me to just use the cheaper International Standard mailing service.)


CUSTOMS DUTY FEES

EU customers might find that they incur unexpected customs fees from now on, which are sadly beyond my control. If this happens, I can refund you the value of the fees in the form of discount codes to use on my own 'ShinyShortzRyan' website. Browse for my site online - it's easy to find! - and contact me there if you wish to take advantage of this offer.



UPDATE - 04/07/2021

New EU VAT rules have now come into force as of 1 July 2021. This means that, from now on, buyers in EU countries will be automatically charged VAT by Ebay when they go through the checkout process and Ebay will remit it to the responsible tax authorities. 

To mitigate some of this extra cost to you, I have created extra discounts for multi-buy purchases, so the more items you put in your cart, the bigger the discount you will receive.

You can also get in touch with me to discuss other ways in which I can help to reduce the total that you have to pay if you are in an EU country.

Thanks for your understanding.

UPDATE for EU customers (7 August 2021)

If the total value of your order is under 150 Euros (£135), VAT will be charged to you directly at the checkout. This means that your order should travel through the postal system without any delay and there should be no additional fees to pay.

If the total value of your order is above 150 Euros (£135), Ebay will not be able to charge the VAT at checkout and it will be applied instead at the point of importation. Your postal delivery service will then charge you the VAT (plus a possible handling charge) before delivery. This could cause extra delays which are beyond my control.

Therefore, I recommend that EU customers limit the total order value to 150 Euros (£135).

Update - 17 April 2022

to celebrate five years of working pretty much non-stop, i have decided to give myself a 'weekend', which will typically be thursday & friday of every week. I might be away from home on these days, so won't always be able to dispatch orders or reply to messages, but I will be on the case as soon as possible, usually by the saturday morning. Many thanks! Ryan ;-)
