I'm seriously curious how these shorts, which were normally worn by boxers, suddenly became a popular underwear garment for guys. Is it that they all secretly imagine themselves to be a big strapping boxer? Regardless, I'm going to let them continue with their little secret identity, because I'm going to show everyone how you can create your own men's boxers, complete with the button fly.
Creating basic shorts are actually a very easy project and a perfect project for beginners. The elastic waistband helps make it customizable. If you're a little unsure about doing a buttonhole, you can skip that step if you want. The pattern created here is a large but it should fit most. You can always enlarge the pattern pieces if you want to make it bigger. And if you want to make the length of the shorts longer, you can just extend the inner leg and side seam lengths to whatever desired length you want. You can even extend them to the floor and make yourself some lounge around pants.
Hi, For stitching up a ‘medium’ size let’s say…would we cut 1/2″ smaller would you say?
the pattern is for Large size, may I know what is the hips and waist measurement for large size?
Okay, will do…OMG these boxer shorts have been a journey. Thank you for the help.
yes, cut the pieces out first.
Okay, so just to clarify…I do cut pattern pieces out after printing…I ask because I use other pdf pattern’s that don’t require this. Again, such a newb…your help and fast response are amazing and appreciated. 😉
page #2 and #3 have the marker number 5 on it. The marker number 5 that is located on page 3 will be angled and the small flat top part near the double notches will slip in that notch cutout to the top right of page 2. All in all, just cut out all the pieces first, then just assemble the pieces using the number as a clue for which edges should be touching.
So I am trying to put the pattern together and I am little lost on matching up the #5 edges. The open space between the pages is throwing me off I think. I can see the piece as a whole, but I don’t want to miss something with that space. Please tell that made sense…total newb here.
Thank you so much ! I did succeed in douwnloading !
Have a nice day !

If you are trying to download the pattern from a mobile device, it will error on opening probably because your device does not have any program to view a PDF. Try your computer at home.
