How Pockets Change the Cut
Pockets change the leg shape and how the shorts feel when seated.
Pocket openings
Side pockets open into the leg. Panel size limits their depth.
Cargo pockets
A cargo pocket is sewn onto the outside for extra room.
Waist adjustment
Waistbands can take internal adjusters or elastic at any chosen leg length.
Visible stitching
Contrast topstitching outlines pockets. A small printed or stitched mark fits above the hem.
Waistband and Hem Construction
We join the legs and pockets, sew the waist and finish the closure and hems. For schools stocking several lengths, labels can show waist and inseam.

An existing pair or waist and inseam measurements help set the cut.
