If you are looking for cool shorts for grappling, surfing, or just hanging out, but don´t want the lame pit bull/lighting bolt type of tough guy wear, you have to check out www.fortythievesclothing.com.
Seriously, this is quality stuff with a laid back design that is totally different from most of the gear grapplers are wearing.
I have a pair of their shorts and they are perfect for no gi training. They have a neoprene piece of material in the crotch that allows the shorts to stretch when you need them to. They also have a split on the side so that you dont feel restricted when you kick or shoot a double.
They also have that microfiber material that dries quickly.
sorry to bump this old thread, but I remembered you (Andre) posting this...and I might actually get a pair of shorts (not sure, but I need trunks anyway)
question:
is rene.r right? Do they only have the shorts with Forty Thieves written on the side for sale? Looked that way when I went to the site, but you mentioned other designs...
that tan hat with the red FF looks great though...
I'll check with the owner. The shorts I have are black with the black Forty Thieves writing on the side. They are very understated, which is why I like them so much. I'll see if there are other designs ready to be shipped.
Thanks for taking my word on a great pair of shorts!
