WHY WE MADE THIS

The quest for men to actually enjoy wearing a bathing suit ends here. Meet the Manmade Swim Short.

Built with a moisture-wicking and quick drying fabric that keeps you cool and comfortable in and out of the water. It has a 4-way stretch that moves with your body and never clings. The inner liner is super soft, breathable, and designed to prevent all chafing and rashes all day long. We added our signature Mansack pouch to cradle those family jewels for proper support and comfort just like our best-selling boxer briefs.

There is a zippered back pocket to keep things secure, and a drawstring waistband that adjusts easily without cutting into your waist. You can wear them to swim, train, or chill. They are made for movement wherever it happens.

MATERIALS

We chose recycled polyester for its performance and stretch, blended with spandex for flexibility and comfort. The result is a lightweight fabric that dries quickly and moves with you.

The inner mesh lining is breathable, fast drying, and contoured for everyday support even during workouts. It helps prevent irritation and keeps things in place without bunching or clinging.

Finished with UPF protection so you can take on the sun without worry.

    Great swim short!

    I bought a pair of these shorts for my son after I heard his complaining about chafing because of his bathing suit. He asked me to buy him another pair. Now he’s telling his friends that he’s never going to wear any other swim shorts but manmade.

    Best Shorts Ever

    These are simply the best shorts I've ever owned. The material is the best. I forget I'm wearing them. They are comfy, they conform to the body well, and they are breathable. They look nice and feel great. I won't go buy another pair of swim shorts ever again from anywhere else.

    Taller men

    Hello,

    Would love to see these swim shorts available with an 8 inch seam for taller men.

    Thank you!

    Hi Carole, Thanks so much for the suggestion. Our Swim Shorts currently have a 6-inch inseam, but we completely understand how an 8-inch option could be a better fit for taller men. We’ll definitely pass your feedback along to our product team as we continue developing the lineup.

    Thanks again for sharing.

    Love these swim shorts!

    First off, shorts are comfy, underwear is built in. They take a little longer to dry because of the inner lining but it's not a problem at all. I initially ordered a large as I'm large in the t-shirts, but had to return them for an XL. The customer service was absolutely amazing and the return was easy and smooth. Another great Manmade product.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What about sizing, are they true to size?

Yes they fit just like our boxer briefs. If you know your size in those, you are set. The waistband has a bit of stretch for comfort but the fit stays clean. If you are not sure, you can use our size calculator here.

Do they have a pouch like the underwear?

Yes they do. The swim shorts have a built in pouch similar to our underwear. It gives you support, prevents bunching, and provides room where you need it. It is one of the key features that makes these comfortable all day long.

What is the fabric like?

The fabric is a high quality recycled polyester. It is breathable, durable, and holds its shape and colour over time. Inside you will find our signature anti chafe liner instead of traditional mesh. The fabric dries quickly and wicks moisture so you stay cool and dry whether you are swimming, working out, or walking around town.

Are the pockets water friendly?

Yes they are. All three pockets, two on the sides and one on the back, are lined with mesh so water drains out easily. That means no puffing up or ballooning in the water. They work just as well in the pool as they do on dry land.

Can I wear them to the gym or out to lunch?

Yes you can. These swim shorts are designed to go from the pool to your workout or your next meal without missing a beat. The tailored fit and anti chafe liner make them comfortable and sharp looking wherever you wear them.
