Fairtex Muay Thai Shorts Size Guide
Fairtex publishes two related size charts depending on cut. BS19xx and X-series shorts use the modern Muay Thai cut. BS17xx shorts use the older slim cut, which sits a touch slimmer through the hip. Measurements below are flat-garment dimensions in inches. Pick by approximate body waist; the elasticated waistband flexes for comfort.

How to choose your size
- Waist — measure around your natural waistline and match the result to the "Approximate waist" column.
- Between sizes — size up for a roomier feel through the hips, especially for kicking and clinch.
- Cut difference — slim-cut BS17xx sits closer to the leg with shorter side length; modern BS19xx gives a touch more length and a slightly wider leg opening. Both work for traditional Muay Thai movement.
- Fit note — Thai-cut shorts run shorter and wider at the leg than gym shorts, by design. The wide leg gives full hip rotation.

Slim cut chart (BS17xx):
Engineered to handle hard pad rounds and full-contact sparring, the Fairtex BS1704 Slim Cut Muay Thai Shorts in Red-White pair Thailand's classic colourway with Fairtex's modern slim fit.
Cut closer through the hip and thigh than traditional Muay Thai shorts, the high side slit lets the leg travel fully on round kicks. The satin shell takes a beating from clinch grips and pad sessions without losing its shape, and the elastic waistband sits flat for sparring or fight night.
Main Features:
- Premium long-lasting satin holds shape session after session
- Slim Muay Thai cut for sharper hip rotation
- High side slit clears the leg on full-power kicks
- Flat elastic waistband with secure inner drawstring
- Handmade in Thailand by Fairtex craftsmen
