Manufacture Custom Shorts Around Your Own Design

XWears provides custom shorts manufacturing for Australian sportswear brands, activewear businesses, streetwear labels, gyms, sporting clubs, teams and organisations looking for more than a standard blank product.

Rather than limiting your project to an existing catalogue style, we manufacture custom products according to your design direction and requirements. You can determine the type of shorts, overall fit, fabric, colours, waistband construction, length, pockets, branding positions, labels, printing methods and other important details.

Whether you are developing lightweight running shorts in Sydney, gym shorts for a Melbourne fitness label, custom team shorts in Brisbane, streetwear shorts in Adelaide or a private label apparel collection in Perth, XWears can help take your concept through sampling and into bulk manufacturing.

What We Manufacture

OEM & Private Label

Private Label Shorts Manufacturer for Australian Brands

Building an apparel brand requires more than adding a logo to generic wholesale clothing. XWears provides custom and private label manufacturing so your shorts can be developed around your own brand identity, target customer and design direction.

Custom Labels Add your own branded size labels, care labels and other garment identification.
Sublimation Create detailed multi-colour team and performance designs across suitable shorts fabrics.
Embroidery Add professional embroidered logos, club marks or brand elements where appropriate.
DTF Printing Suitable for detailed custom graphics and logo applications on compatible garment materials.
DTG Printing Direct-to-garment printing can be considered for suitable fabric constructions and designs.
Screen Printing A versatile option for selected streetwear, sportswear and fashion graphics.
Silicone Printing Add modern silicone or raised branding for a distinctive premium apparel finish.
Tags & Packaging Complete your private label presentation with branded swing tags and packaging options.
Product Development

Custom Fit, Length, Pockets & Construction

The difference between generic shorts and a well-developed custom product often comes down to construction details. Two pairs of shorts may look similar in a photograph while providing very different fit, movement and functionality.

During development, you can specify the overall silhouette, inseam length, waistband type, rise, pocket configuration, fabric characteristics and other design elements according to the purpose of the product.

If you have an existing pair of shorts with a fit or feature you like, reference measurements or images can also help communicate the direction you want to achieve.

Different Inseam Lengths

Running, training and gym shorts may use different lengths depending on the desired freedom of movement and aesthetic. Your preferred length can form part of the custom specification.

Functional Pocket Options

Depending on the design, shorts can incorporate side pockets, zip pockets, internal storage or other pocket configurations suited to sport, training or everyday wear.

Waistband Construction

Elasticated waistbands, drawcord systems and different waistband heights can be considered according to the fit and performance requirements of your garment.

Fabric Options

Fabric Options for Custom Shorts Manufacturing

There is no single fabric that is right for every type of shorts. Material selection should reflect the intended activity, desired weight, stretch, durability, breathability and visual appearance.

Polyester Performance Fabrics

Polyester-based performance materials are widely suited to teamwear, training shorts and sports garments where lightweight construction, durability and custom graphics may be important.

Polyester / Spandex

Stretch blends can provide increased flexibility and movement, making them suitable for gym shorts, running shorts and performance-focused activewear.

Nylon / Spandex

Nylon and elastane blends can provide a smooth premium feel, stretch and recovery for selected fitted activewear shorts and performance products.

Cotton & Cotton Blends

Cotton-based fabrics can be considered for casual, fashion and streetwear shorts where comfort, structure and a lifestyle appearance are more important than technical sports performance.

Mesh Fabrics

Mesh constructions are useful for selected basketball, training and sports applications where airflow and a traditional athletic appearance are required.

Custom Fabric Requirements

If you already know the composition, GSM, stretch level or fabric feel you want, include these details with your enquiry. Reference garments can also help establish your preferred material direction.

Sports Wear Running, football, basketball, training and team shorts.
Active Wear Gym, fitness, performance and stretch active shorts.
Street Wear Relaxed, heavyweight and fashion-focused custom shorts.
Private Label Your logo, labels, tags, branding and packaging.
How It Works

Our Custom Shorts Manufacturing Process

XWears uses a sample-first process so you can review the physical product before proceeding with your main bulk manufacturing order.

01

Send Your Design or Idea

Send us your sketches, tech pack, reference images, logo files, existing product references or simply explain the type of shorts you want to develop.

02

Develop Your Sample

We create a physical sample according to the agreed product direction. Sample pricing depends on the type of shorts and level of customisation required.

03

Review & Approve

Evaluate the sample's fit, material, colours, construction and branding before confirming the product for bulk manufacturing.

04

Bulk Production

Following sample approval and order confirmation, production proceeds according to the approved specifications before the finished order is prepared for delivery.

Flexible Manufacturing

Minimum Order Quantity From 25 Units

Our MOQ starts from 25 units, giving new brands, smaller clubs, gyms and developing apparel businesses an opportunity to create genuinely customised products without beginning with extremely large production volumes.

Starting with a manageable quantity can be particularly useful when launching a new shorts design. It allows you to establish the product, test customer response and build your collection progressively.

Exact pricing depends on your quantity, fabric, design, construction, printing, labels and other customisation requirements. Send your design to XWears to receive a project-specific quotation.

Build Your Apparel Brand

Custom Private Label Shorts for Your Own Clothing Brand

For an apparel business, the product itself plays a major role in how customers perceive the brand. Simply purchasing the same blank shorts available to many other businesses can make differentiation difficult. Custom manufacturing gives you greater control over the characteristics that make the garment recognisable as your product.

With XWears, you can begin with your own shorts concept and develop the product around the intended customer. This can include decisions about whether the shorts should be fitted or relaxed, lightweight or structured, minimal or highly branded, designed for performance or created primarily for fashion and lifestyle use.

Private label finishing can then bring the product together under your own identity. Custom labels, printed or embroidered logos, silicone branding, swing tags and packaging can help create a more complete presentation from the garment itself through to the way the customer receives it.

Shorts for New Activewear Brands

Shorts are a versatile category for activewear startups because they can be incorporated into gym, running, training and lifestyle collections. A brand may start with one core style and later introduce different lengths, colours or complementary garments as customer demand develops.

Shorts for Established Apparel Businesses

Existing apparel labels can use custom manufacturing to extend their product range into new categories. For example, a brand already selling performance tops or leggings may introduce men's training shorts, women's active shorts or a streetwear line using a consistent brand language across labels, colours and graphic treatments.

Retail-Ready Brand Presentation

The finishing details of a garment can influence the overall retail experience. Depending on your requirements, your shorts can incorporate branded garment labels, care information, swing tags and packaging so the final product is prepared around your own private label identity.

Teamwear Manufacturing

Custom Sports Shorts for Clubs & Teams

Team shorts need to combine visual consistency with practical performance. XWears can manufacture custom shorts for sports clubs, schools, academies and teams that need garments built around their colours and identity.

Designs can include club logos, sponsor branding, numbers, custom graphics and colours coordinated with jerseys, singlets or training tops. Sublimation can be particularly suitable for detailed teamwear designs because multiple graphic elements can be incorporated into the overall visual layout.

Whether your club requires basketball shorts, football shorts, running shorts or general training apparel, send us your design requirements so the appropriate product direction can be discussed.

From Concept to Production

Creating Custom Shorts That Represent Your Brand

Developing custom shorts involves more than selecting a colour and adding a logo. The intended customer, activity, fabric, fit and functional requirements should all be considered when planning the garment. A pair of running shorts, for example, may need to prioritise lightweight construction and unrestricted movement, while streetwear shorts may require greater fabric weight, structure and visual impact.

A gym brand might prioritise stretch, secure pockets and a comfortable waistband. A basketball club may instead require a coordinated sublimated design with team colours, sponsor logos and matching jerseys. Private label fashion businesses may focus heavily on fit, finishing, labels and brand presentation.

Custom manufacturing allows these decisions to be considered as part of product development instead of forcing different products into the same generic template.

Start With Your Own Design

If you already have a completed tech pack, you can provide it to communicate measurements, construction details, artwork positions and material requirements. However, customers at an earlier stage can also send sketches, reference images, logo files and written descriptions of the product they want to develop.

Clearly communicating the intended use of the shorts is particularly useful. Tell us whether the product is intended for running, gym training, basketball, football, streetwear, fashion, casual use or another purpose. This helps establish the appropriate direction for sample development.

Develop the Right Fit

Fit has a major influence on how customers experience apparel. Performance shorts may require enough room for movement without excessive loose fabric, while fashion shorts can intentionally use oversized or relaxed proportions. Women's activewear shorts may use a completely different pattern and rise from men's training shorts.

By developing a sample before bulk manufacturing, the physical proportions and overall appearance can be evaluated rather than relying entirely on a digital concept.

Create Consistent Branding

Your brand identity can appear throughout the product rather than only through one visible logo. Colours, print placement, labels, drawcord details, swing tags and packaging can all contribute to a consistent presentation.

For sports clubs, the same principle applies to team identity. Colours, logos and sponsor graphics can be coordinated across shorts, jerseys and other garments to create a unified team appearance.

Expand Into a Complete Apparel Collection

Custom shorts do not have to remain a standalone product. Brands can later develop matching T-shirts, tanks, sports singlets, leggings, hoodies, jackets, tracksuits and other garments. Developing a coordinated range can help create a more complete apparel offering while maintaining a consistent design language.

XWears manufactures across sportswear, activewear, workwear, streetwear and fashion wear, allowing customers to discuss multiple apparel categories as their requirements grow.
