A Drawstring Cannot Replace the Missing S–XL Shorts Measurements

Separate the listed drawstring, loose fit and slight stretch from the waist, hip, rise and length measurements still needed for S–XL.

The grey colorblock drawstring shorts list a drawstring waist, loose fit, wide-leg type and slight stretch, but no numeric size chart. Those construction words describe how the shorts are intended to work; they do not tell you which S–XL row will fit.

Separate known construction from missing size data

Decision area What is listed What is still needed
Waist Drawstring waist, natural waistline Relaxed and extended waistband for S–XL
Seat and leg Loose fit, wide-leg type Hip, rise and leg-opening measurements
Length Short Outseam and inseam by size
Fabric Cotton/polyester, slight stretch, knitted fabric Fiber percentages and quantified stretch
Storage Pocket detail Pocket count, opening and internal dimensions

Ask for one complete row

Request the measurements for the exact selectable label you are considering, including the measuring diagram and tolerance. Compare that row with shorts you own. A drawstring can adjust the waistband within its actual range, but it cannot establish hip, rise, leg opening or length.

Grey is the listed color. The pattern fields mention colorblock, letter and striped details, while the care field says machine wash or professional dry clean. Confirm the physical care label because those two methods are alternatives, not a single washing instruction. The measurement guide provides a reusable worksheet once the missing chart arrives.
