Size Chart

The Hammies short sizing is based on US pants sizing (size 32 means 32-inch waist), so if you wear a size 32 in jeans, then you're a size 32 in Hammies. If you don't know your waist size, measure the waist of your favorite jeans in inches and multiply that by 2 (16" across x 2 = 32"). If you're in between sizes, we suggest sizing down.

The DIY (dye-it-yourself) short is prepared for dye and ready for you to make them your own. You can tub dye them to match your favorite skates or sneakers, tie-dye them to get a little funky, or plant dye them using foraged plants…the possibilities are endless! 💭 

How to dye

There is no one way to dye your Hammies but most methods involve these three steps:

  1. Scour or pre-wash: Even though your Hammies are brand new, you want the fabric to be clean of oil, dust, and even fingerprints before dying because these can affect how the fabric absorbs dye. You can use a professional textile detergent but any old detergent will do.
  2. Dye: There are many different types of dye and dying techniques. If you're dying for the first time or interested in an easy, inexpensive, and predictable type of dye, we recommend reactive dyes (specifically Procion dyes from Dharma Trading). If you're interested in going deeper, you can try natural/plant dye (a good place to start is with pre-reduced indigo from Dharma Trading). As for techniques, there is tub dye (for solid colors), tie-dyeice dye, transfer dye, discharge, etc. Most methods require a fixer such as soda ash to fix the color and prevent it from washing out. 
  3. Wash: After you're done dying, it's very important to wash it out so that you don't accidentally dye the rest of your clothes! Most techniques involve rinsing with cool water until the water runs clear and then washing with hot water and detergent by itself (or at the least with very dark colors that won't be affected by the dye that you used). We suggest washing and drying on a hot cycle to shrink them to size.

It isn't difficult or expensive to dye your own Hammies and after you dye your first pair, odds are you will start dying everything in sight! 😸

The DIY shorts will fit about a half size too large before you dye them. See our notes about "sizing" below.

History

The Hammies short is an old short for a new generation. This short style was popularized in the 1970s in Southern California and for a decade it was the staple of skateboarders, surfers, rollerskaters, camp counselors, Tom Selleck, and many more. In the mid-1980s, shorts got longer and pants got baggier and for the proceeding 3 decades, the shorts were forgotten (a period also known as The Shorts Dark Ages). Fast-forward to 2017: Hammies has revived the once forgotten shorts in all of their primary-colored and wide-waled corduroy glory and once again, all was right with the world.

In short, the Hammies short is a homage to a time when shorts were shorter, fuzzier, and more colorful. These are your dad's shorts!

Favorite shorts ever

I have been a customer for several years now. I have the bell bottoms and shorts in all different colors. It’s almost inevitable that I get asked by folks where i got my shorts from. I know it’s the colors and short length that always gets the attention.

Flexible waist band, perfect for those who got a big caboose. Can be worn right below the belly button for those who want more leg revealing or at the waist for a more comfortable fit. Attention grabbing for sure.

Was skeptical

Thought these looked too cute but they ARE CUTE. I am 36/38 normally so I opted for a 36 but almost wish I had done 34! They have lots of stretch and are super comfy

Love my Hammies!

I’m a guy that typically buys shorts and then has them altered to a 4-6 inch inseam. When I saw Hammies for the first time I was excited but afraid as well that there might be too tight. I ordered the Green size 38 and they are perfect. I’m a muscular to stocky build, 6’0 and 230lbs. The shorts are a perfect fit. Love the shorter length, very tasteful not too short by any means. I will be buying several more colors in the coming weeks. I am a huge fan and highly recommend them. I have also washed them now a few times and they handle the washing great, no issues whatsoever
