Blank Shorts for Decorators & Wholesale Inventory Programs

Blank wholesale shorts are available for screen printers, DTF decorators, embroidery shops, and wholesale retail buyers who need a ready-to-decorate or ready-to-stock shorts inventory. All shorts styles at Simplstc Apparel are available blank — no decoration required — with no minimum order on most styles and bulk pricing that scales with quantity.

Blank mesh shorts from A4, C2 Sport, and Badger Sport are the most ordered blank shorts styles by screen printers serving school and team athletic clients — the 100% polyester mesh surface produces vibrant, clean screen prints for team names and numbers. Blank performance shorts from A4 and Augusta Sportswear serve decorators building complete team uniform programs with both shorts and matching shirts.

Blank cotton shorts and sweat shorts from Champion and Russell Athletic serve decorators and retail buyers building lifestyle and gym merchandise programs where a casual athletic short is part of the branded collection.

Wholesale Shorts Size & Inseam Guide

Most wholesale shorts run true-to-size in the waist measurement with an elastic-plus-drawstring closure. For team programs, collecting actual waist measurements per player is more reliable than ordering by shirt size — shorts and shirt sizing do not always align.

• S–4XL adult sizing on most styles; 5XL available from Russell Athletic and Champion on select styles

• Youth XS–XL on youth-specific styles from A4, C2 Sport, Augusta Sportswear, and Alleson Athletic

• Women's XS–2XL on gender-specific styles

• 5-inch inseam — running, track, competitive athletic programs

• 7-inch inseam — basketball, soccer, general athletic programs (most popular for team orders)

• 9-inch inseam — casual athletic, warm-up, lifestyle programs

Order 10% extra in your most common size for mid-season additions and size exchanges — a standard practice for any team uniform program.
