Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Jams World Classic Boardshorts

What are Jams World Classic Boardshorts?

Our Classic Boardshorts are men's swimwear inspired by vintage surf culture. They feature retro designs, including our iconic Surf Line prints, and are built with a combination of classic style and modern materials, making them the perfect swim trunks for any beach or vacation setting.

Can you swim in these boardshorts?

Yes, absolutely! They are designed specifically for swimming and surfing. Features like quick-drying fabrics (nylon or cotton/poly/spandex blends), embroidered drainage eyelets, and a secure velcro fly closure make them ideal for any water activity.

How do you style Classic Boardshorts?

 For a classic beach look, pair them with one of our graphic men's t-shirts and sandals. They are the perfect base for any casual vacation outfit. Thanks to their stylish, retro prints, they look just as good at a beachside cafe as they do in the water.

What is the fit and length of these boardshorts?

Our boardshorts feature a classic fit with an inseam ranging from 9 to 10.5 inches, depending on the size. This length typically falls just above the knee, offering a timeless and comfortable silhouette that provides great coverage and freedom of movement.

Are the Classic Boardshorts machine-washable?

Yes. To keep your boardshorts in top condition, we recommend rinsing them in fresh water after use and machine-washing in cold water. Tumble dry on low or hang them to dry. Always refer to the specific care label on the garment for the best instructions.

What materials are the boardshorts made from?

Our collection features different fabrications to suit your preference. Some are made from a lightweight, quick-drying nylon for a truly vintage feel, while others use a modern blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex, which offers a soft feel with added stretch and flexibility.

Are these good for hot weather and all-day wear?

Definitely. The lightweight and breathable materials are perfect for hot and humid climates. They are designed to dry quickly, so you can comfortably transition from a morning swim to afternoon activities without needing to change.

What does "enzyme washed" mean?

The enzyme wash is a special finishing process applied to some of our boardshorts. It helps to soften the fabric and gives the print a slightly worn, faded, and authentically retro look from the very first wear.

Do the boardshorts have pockets?

Yes, our boardshorts are designed with functionality in mind. They typically feature a secure back pocket for storing small essentials. Additionally, many pairs include a practical inner elastic loop designed to hold your keys securely while you're active.

What makes these boardshorts "Made in Hawaii"?

Select styles in our collection are proudly "Made in Hawaii," which means they were crafted and produced in our home state. This reflects our brand's deep roots in authentic Hawaiian surf culture and our commitment to local production.
