The verdict
Fit
Standard fit with 6" inseam landing mid-thigh. Midweight terry drapes evenly; the dye process doesn't affect fit proportions. True to size.
Quality
Fadeaway dyeing is an advanced process requiring precision. Midweight terry supports the finish without degrading it. Durability is excellent for this class.
Is the price fair?
At 98, the custom dye work (fadeaway coloring) commands a premium above standard shorts. You're paying for both material and finish innovation.
Best for
Someone wanting a visually distinctive sweatshort that doesn't sacrifice substance, and who values color work as a meaningful detail.
Care
Machine wash inside-out in cold water to preserve the gradient dye; avoid bleach and strong detergents.
What owners report about Reigning Champ sweatshirts
Owners report Reigning Champ's all-cotton terry and fleece sweats as unusually durable, with flatlock stitching that draws consistent praise and fabric that softens rather than degrades with washing. Reviewers describe the cut as longer and slimmer than an average hoodie, with the heavyweight fleece warmer and furrier than the midweight loopback terry. Recurring complaints are practical ones tied to the 100% cotton construction: the fabric takes a long time to dry, cuffs stretch out a little over time, and prices sit well above mainstream sweats.
- Strengths
- Made-in-Canada construction and tight-woven cotton that reviewers rate as more durable than typical sweats, improving with wash and wear.
- Watch out for
- The all-cotton fabric dries very slowly and cuffs are the first thing to stretch out; the slim cut runs snug through the torso for broader builds.
- Sizing
- Expect a longer, slimmer fit than average — broader builds should size up in the Standard fit or switch to the Relaxed cut.
