These Unisex cycle shorts are designed with activity in mind. Their natural riding shape along with attractive basic styling appeal to all riding enthusiasts. Quick and easy to sew for all sized individuals, they require a minimal amount of fabric and time to create.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS

A high quality stretch fabric such as Moleskin Lycra, Performance Lycra, Cotton Lycra blend, or Supplex Lycra. The fabric MUST have at least 50% stretch in a both directions. (i.e. A 20cm piece should stretch to 30cm without permanent distortion). If you are using a fabric with much greater stretch, a smaller size may be required to get a better fit. (Remember to alter the crotch and leg lengths if needed!). The maximum stretch should go around the body.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS

Ensure that size is chosen correctly by comparing ALL measurements before cutting. This sizing is based on 30% stretch in the fabric around the body and 30% stretch in the leg length. If you are using a stretchier Lycra, you may need to choose a size smaller due to the increased percentage of stretch in the fabric.
