How Golf Shorts Should Fit
Home Fitting Instructions

- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat. Keep the tape parallel to the ground.
Fit Breakdown

- Length: 7" inseam — hits mid thigh to just above the knee depending on height. Always above the knee.

FAQs
Do Juniper & James golf shorts run true to size?
Yes, they run true to size with a tailored fit. If you are in between sizes, we recommend sizing down due to the natural flexibility of the fabric and comfort waistband.
What length are the golf shorts? How do they look?
Our golf shorts feature a 7-inch inseam designed for a modern, athletic look. Golfers in the South prefer a shorter short, but they are certainly country club appropriate.
Do the shorts stretch?
Yes, our 4-way stretch nylon fabric includes stretch for mobility and comfort. They do not stretch out too much, though, and retain form. Comfortable in the golf cart as well as walking.
How do these shorts compare to other brands?
They fit more tailored than traditional relaxed cotton shorts of the 90s and early 2000s, but not as slim as some golf shorts on the market that are uncomfortable when you sit down. The fabric is truly a game changer.
