RETRO 70s POLYAMIDE NYLON FOOTY SHORTS in Royal Blue (XS to 2XL) * LIMITED SUPPLY *
These footy-style shorts are made to measure from original 1970s polyamide nylon fabric, of the type that was used to manufacture classic football shorts of the period. I have been trying to find this fabric since 2016, and came upon a length of it in a tiny sewing shop in Stoke-on-Trent(!) The shopkeeper told me that he had salvaged it from a nearby fabric shop that was closing down and that it had probably been there for decades. It's in perfect condition, but I only have one roll of it, so when it's gone, it's gone and I will have to remove this listing. (Buy now to avoid disappointment, in other words!) The fabric colour is Royal Blue. No other colours were available, but I will keep looking!
You can choose your own waistband and stripe options and add pockets if you wish.
The shorts are machine-washable up to 40 degrees, should not be ironed and should be left to drip dry.
You receive a brand new unworn pair, made to order - the shorts worn in the pictures are not sent.

NEW BUYERS: I strongly recommend that you order just one pair to start with. That way, you can be sure that the size and cut of the design will work for you.
If your size isn't listed, then let me know and I'll see what I can do!
I can also adapt the following measurements to your specific requirements:
- Inside leg
- Waistband to crotch measurement
- Unstretched waistband (i.e. the length of elastic used)
- Fully stretched waistband (i.e. how far they will stretch to the maximum)
Just ask me and most of the time it will be possible at no extra cost.
I have lots more images available of styles that I have designed with this fabric, so just get in touch if you would like to discuss any of this.
Any other questions, give me a shout.
