Shorts Tech Pack Template
On a shorts tech pack the inseam is the style, and everything else can be right while a five-centimetre difference makes it a garment for someone else. This pack states it as a critical row on the same bottoms block as the joggers, with rise, thigh, leg opening and the waistband.
Inseam is the style — 18 cm here against the jogger's 76 cm, with rise, thigh and leg opening to match.

Why this one is different
Shorts, specified
On shorts the inseam is the style. Everything else can be right and a 5 cm difference still produces a garment for a different customer. This pack states it as a critical row against the same bottoms block the joggers use, so if you run both, the two grade together and only the leg length diverges.
The rest of the bottoms discipline applies unchanged: relaxed and stretched waist, front and back rise as separate rows, thigh and leg opening measured to a stated convention.
The same bottoms block as the joggers, with inseam and leg opening carrying the whole difference in style.

Measurements in this pack are drafted from published industry sizing (EN 13402-3 body girths; Craft Yarn Council body lengths) with standard ease for the stated fit class. They are a production-ready standard block, not White Cotton house measurements. Confirm the graded spec against your own fit sample before bulk production.

FAQ
Before you buy
Can I change the inseam?+
That is the row you are most likely to change, and the graded table moves with it. What the pack fixes is the measuring convention — crotch seam junction straight down the inside leg to the hem — so your number and the factory's mean the same thing.
Does it include pockets?+
Side pockets and a back patch pocket are in the component list, with the pocket opening and patch dimensions as specified rows and the trims on the bill of materials.
What do I actually receive?+
A vector PDF and an .ai file, by email, immediately after payment. Both open and edit in Illustrator, Affinity or CorelDRAW — nothing is flattened or locked.
Can I use it with any factory?+
Yes. The document is yours and carries no supplier details — no address, no contact, nothing that ties it to us. It is drawn to industry convention so any factory can read it.
Are the measurements already filled in?+
Yes, as a production-ready standard block graded XS–XXL with tolerances, drawn from published industry sizing. It is a starting point you overwrite to match your own fit sample — the pack says so on the page. Your own fields (brand, style code, season, colourway names, artwork) arrive marked [FILL IN] in red so nothing ships carrying someone else's data.
