We stock this one from a 28 waist to a 60 waist, which is the reason big-and-tall customers keep calling us about it — most surf brands stop at 40 and leave everyone else guessing. Same 21\" inseam, same zip pocket, same build across the whole run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — waist 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, then 36 through 60 in even sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e — 21\" angled outseam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lycra fly, tie front with four HIC grommets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — one zippered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 90% polyester \/ 10% spandex, Octo 8-way stretch, DWR water-repellent coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3-needle smooth inseams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — HIC, imported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder your normal jeans waist. The sizing is by waist measurement, and with 10% spandex plus a tie front there is give in both directions — if you sit between two numbers in the 28–34 range, the tie will take up the slack, so go with the smaller one. Above a 36 the even-size steps get bigger, so take the next size up rather than fighting a tight waistband. The 21\" length lands at or just above the knee on most men and a little lower if you're under about 5'8\". Smooth 3-needle inseams matter here: no ridge to chafe on a long paddle session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurfing, swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddling, skateboarding and beach volleyball. The water-repellent coating means they shed instead of soaking, so they're wearable straight off the sand into a beach bar or the truck seat. Plain black also passes at pools and resorts with a no-print rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the salt or chlorine out after every session — that's what kills stretch fabric, not washing. Cold machine wash, hang to dry. Skip fabric softener and the hot dryer; both break down the DWR coating and the spandex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelling from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist 28 to 60 in the same short, so big and tall isn't an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe list the real stocked sizes, not a hopeful range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

These move in eight directions, which is what holds up through duck-diving, paddling and volleyball rather than just bending.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HIC","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 28","offer_id":59771524677918,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-28","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 29","offer_id":59771524710686,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-29","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 30","offer_id":59771524743454,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-30","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 31","offer_id":59771524776222,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-31","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 32","offer_id":59771524808990,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-32","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 33","offer_id":59771524841758,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-33","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 34","offer_id":59771524874526,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-34","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 36","offer_id":59771524907294,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-36","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 38","offer_id":59771524940062,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-38","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 40","offer_id":59771524972830,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-40","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 42","offer_id":59771525005598,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-42","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 44","offer_id":59771525038366,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-44","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 46","offer_id":59771525071134,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-46","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 48","offer_id":59771525103902,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-48","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 50","offer_id":59771525136670,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-50","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 52","offer_id":59771525169438,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-52","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 54","offer_id":59771525202206,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-54","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 56","offer_id":59771525234974,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-56","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 58","offer_id":59771525267742,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-58","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 60","offer_id":59771525300510,"sku":"HIC-023220-BLACK-60","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/8608\/2334\/files\/975b2183-e9a3-5fa3-8068-f54f89c5a9de.jpg?v=1789083714","url":"https:\/\/mauishirts.com\/products\/kalama-hic-hawaiian-islands-creations-boardshorts","provider":"MauiShirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
