custom-made shorts

unleash your creativity
design your unique shorts

and be remembered

In Bangkok, custom-made shorts can be easily manufactured according to your requirements. Companies like INTER or SANDEE, making muay thai shorts only, are often just of a few women sewing and stitching in their shophouses. Therefore, to order your custom made shorts is a pretty straighforward job: select a base model among the hundreds on this site and personalize it with your creativity. And then leave it with me to place the order to whom it may concern.

Over the years, I've seen some kind of trendy designs for muay thai shorts appearing and disappearing like fashion trends. Long time ago, in the 60's, there was nothing written on front, apart from the name of the fighter in Thai. Then the words "muay thai" written in Thai started to appear and those were the years the first foreigners started to approach thai boxing; so at the time a simple pair of nylon shorts with the magic Thai writing in front were much sought after in the West.

Later on, having your own nickname and lucky logo or symbol on the front of your shorts was a must for any serious nak muay. With the increasing popularity of muay thai worldwide, additional phrases and pictures were added, moving from normal patches to embroidered ones, richer in details and colors and much better looking. Sponsorships from energy drinks like Red Bull, M-150, Shark, etc, which entered the world of muay thai about seven years ago, transformed shorts into advertising spots.

Fairtex, at the time an innovator and probably the best known muay thai brand abroad, introduced in 2001 splendid tiger, leopard and zebra patterns, followed suit by every other manufacturer. This trend seems to have faded away now.

Nowadays the top manufacturers offer a colorful mix of everything under the sun, adding short slogans in Thai, signs in Japanese/Chinese writing, funny cartoons, commercial ads and what not, even on the back of the shorts. New materials have appeared, like fake velvet, shining textiles used for Buddhist sacred paraphernalia, polyester-based mixed materials, lame patches and runbber screenings. I sometomes wonder who actually buys these fantastic creations and dares to wear them in a fight. Definitely not local fighters, who usually wear very simple nylon shorts with their names and some colorful mix.


Anyway, what matters is how YOU want to appear in the ring; therefore, let your creativity go wild and contact us for your ultimate custom-made shorts.
