I am wanting to buy more shorts like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's described as cotton but if I look up on google for cotton shorts, then obviously there are thousands of results and none of them look like this.

 

What can I search for that will return the correct results. 

 

I bought some pairs a while back from Converse, but they don't seem to have them any longer. 

 

I like them because they aren't too thick, but still have substance, they are sweat absorbent, which is very important.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cotton. Elastic waist.

Assuming you purchased these from a sports chain? there are not many in NZ.

Warehouse, Cotton On, K-mart are sometimes worth a quick look.

A search for cotton shorts elastic band finds nothing similar. Is it possible to narrow it down?

It’s likely combed cotton which is a softer version of cotton.

how about these?  https://www.farmers.co.nz/men/men-s-clothing/shorts/tarnish-track-short-black-6727728

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the reply. I'll go and take a look and see if they fit the bill.

 

 

 

I think potentially lightweight fleece might do the job. I like what I have, but I haven't really had much luck finding exact replacements.

 

I play in them during squash and I like having something absorbent to wipe my sweaty hands on. My shirts are quick dry so don't really work for that, and one of the reasons I don't wear quick dry shorts.

I think these maybe are called "jersey shorts"

 

 

 

I have similar and normally get the 'Fila' brand ones from OZ when I am over there

 

 

 

Try

I got some of these from Farmers and find them quite good, but I don't know if they would quite fit the bill for what you're looking for.

They look quite expensive. Lots of stitching and a luxurious fabric.

Also if you're wanting something nice, breathable and absorb sweat well check out Lululemon.

 

They're rather expensive but high quality clothing. I really like their hoodies and shirts too.

I suspect they may be a little too 'stiff' to easily stretch out in, but I think I'll go and take a look in person. You never know.

 

Thanks!
