Now everyone can get exactly what they want on their own trunks thanks to a California company called Shortomatic. Building a pair of trunks with a customized graphic on it is as easy as selecting a waist and leg length and then uploading some art (photo, pattern, graphic) and pressing send. Shortomatic will then make your shorts (in the USA) and send them back to you.
We believe that while there is so much personal style and competition applied to water bound pursuits, then surely the equipment should reflect the same level of distinction. . . . Boardshorts obviously have their roots in popular surf culture, but our approach is much wider then this niche; we think of our product as the new ‘swimming trunk’. As at home in the swimming pool, hot tub or lake as on the beach, a board or just plain sunbathing!
The only problem? The shorts cost about $100 a piece. . . but you can get your name in the waistband. Wonder if they’d let us make some mangina trunks?
