If you've ever typed "blank shorts" into your browser and found yourself 17 tabs deep wondering what the heck the difference is between mesh and nylon, or why fleece shorts cost more than some hoodies... you're not alone.
At Blank House, we carry a curated collection of blank shorts that actually make sense for printing, for comfort, for resale, and for real wear. Whether you're outfitting a team, building a brand, or just need shorts that hit right every time, we're breaking it all down here.
Let’s get into it.
Mesh shorts are the go-to for a reason. They’re breathable, lightweight, and built to move. The ones we carry at Blank House check all the boxes: elastic waistbands, adjustable drawstrings, and zipper pockets for that street-to-gym functionality.
Basketball teams, rec leagues, or anyone printing athletic gear
Streetwear drops with a sporty vibe
Summer merch that won't overheat your customers
Screen print, embroidery, and DTF.
These shorts fly off shelves when styled right. Zipper pockets give them extra value. The Above-the-Knee version and the retro 88.5 stripe version are perfect for trending silhouettes.
Fleece shorts are the unsung hero of modern streetwear. Soft, slightly structured, and built for logos, they offer major bang for your branding buck. Our picks range from heavyweight fleece to breathable French terry.
Streetwear brands with a cozy, premium aesthetic
Puff prints, embroidery, or screen prints with bold color
Seasonal merch drops or lounge sets
Embroidery, screen print, puff ink, DTF, and DTG
The Woodland pair brings a clean, classic gym short look with white drawstrings, while the French Terry 8484 version is breathable enough for spring/summer sets.
Nylon shorts are lightweight, quick-drying, and built for bold statements. The Rebel Minds bent stripe version is all about that retro windbreaker energy, while the Space City shorts feature an exclusive custom design.
Activewear collections or stylish summer fits
Festival drops and graphic branding
Screen printing and DTF (ideal for polyester/nylon fabrics)
Nylon doesn’t play well with puff or embroidery, so it’s best to stick to clean screen prints and heat-friendly transfer options.
From crystal wash to acid dye to all-over prints, these shorts were made to stand out. They’re soft, bold, and built to be worn as-is or paired with minimal branding.
Brands that want a pre-washed, broken-in feel
Smaller logos, woven labels, and embroidered tags
Embroidery only (due to fabric texture and dye process)
These have strong personalities — so keep graphics minimal. Let the dye and wash speak for itself.
Sometimes you just want a blank that isn’t so... blank. Our jorts bring structure and rugged detail with patchwork or bold stripe tape accents. These are best styled with oversized tees or vintage jerseys.
Lifestyle brands with a statement aesthetic
Custom embroidery, woven labels, or no-print fashion
Embroidery only (or wear 'em blank and let the wash do the talking)
Perfect for boutique brands or curated capsule drops. These are the kind of shorts that don’t need much else to look good.
Whether you're printing for a brand or outfitting a squad, here's the quick breakdown:
Want something breathable and sporty? Go mesh.
Want cozy with streetwear appeal? Go fleece.
Want bold, lightweight, and quick-dry? Go nylon.
Want structure and statement? Go jorts.
Want dye-washed or personality-packed pieces? Go acid wash or crystal wash.
Choose your fabric based on the vibe of your drop, the print method you're using, and how your customers will actually wear them.
Mesh, fleece, and nylon shorts are great for screen printing, as long as you use the right pressure and print surface. Avoid screen printing on washed/acid wash styles due to texture.
Yes! You just need a stabilizer and the right backing. Zipper mesh shorts tend to have a sturdier weave, which helps.
Most fleece shorts at Blank House are preshrunk or pre-washed, but always wash cold and tumble dry low to be safe.
Mesh is more breathable with open holes—great for sports. Nylon is smoother, slicker, and better for statement fits.
Fleece, jorts, and washed styles (like Space City or Acid Wash) are all solid picks depending on the look you're going for.
Slightly over time, but that’s the vibe. It adds character. Stick to embroidery or subtle prints so they age well.
Yes! All Blank House shorts are available for bulk orders. Perfect for creators and teams alike.
Shorter inseams (5-7”) give a modern, sporty look. Longer (9-12”) lean classic or relaxed. Product pages include inseam info.
