Men's Midweight Fleece Shorts, Cotton Poly

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 100% cotton face fleece?

In a cotton-face fleece, the exterior and interior surface yarns are 100% cotton, while the core structure may include polyester for dimensional stability. Cotton face yarns produce a softer, more natural surface than polyester fleece on both the outside and the inside (which sits against the skin). At 8.5 oz/yd², the midweight fleece is warm enough for indoor wear and cool-weather outdoor use.

How do fleece shorts fit?

Midweight fleece shorts typically use a relaxed fit with an elastic waistband and a drawstring for adjustability. The fabric weight (8.5 oz/yd²) gives the shorts structure and warmth that lighter jersey shorts cannot provide. Size true for the intended relaxed fit. The drawstring allows fine-tuning for a closer or looser waist without sizing up or down.

Can I machine wash cotton fleece shorts?

Yes. Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low. The cotton-poly fleece construction is machine-washable and holds its shape through repeated washing. The cotton face yarns may soften slightly over time, which adds to the comfort. Avoid high dryer heat, which can cause the cotton content to contract and affect the waist elastic.

What occasions suit fleece shorts?

Midweight fleece shorts are primarily lounge, recovery, and cool-weather casual wear. They are popular for post-workout recovery, home wear, and low-key outdoor activity in mild conditions. The 8.5 oz weight makes them too warm for summer athletic use but ideal for autumn and winter casual wear or as a comfortable alternative to jeans for weekend errands.
