thanks man. yea my friends were making fun of me when I told them I was getting plaid board shorts. Plaid is back bitches! I have 3 plaid Hurley hats that are slick as hell. The shorts are really awesome. I was a Sprawl guy before but I have been converted! I will still pick up the cheap clearance Sprawl's but when I am looking to lay down some money it will go to Clinc Gear everytime. I talked briefly to Erin Crecy from Clinch Gear about their new adjustable waistband line like the ones Hendo wore in the Silva fight
This is what he had to say:
ME:
I was getting ready to buy a pair of the hendo plaid shorts but recently I
have been hearing about new shorts with a drawstring. I was just curious if
there was a time table for when they were going to be released and if the
plaid shorts would be available with the drawstring. I am going to get a
pair regardless but having some info on how long before they are available
and what the styles are going to be like would be great. Thanks guys. As
always love your gear and customer service.
Erin:
Blake,
So sorry for the delayed reply--I have been traveling extensively and am
just catching up. While we do have an adjustable waistband in development,
it will likely not go to production for 6-8 weeks, and then another 8 week
for the actual production run. Realistically, we're looking at a release
date in August or September.
For the record, our waistband construction is prohibitive to drawstrings,
but we believe we have developed a suitable alternative. It simply takes
time to implement, given the various related prototype and considerable
testing.
Best regards,

So look forward to some new designs around September. They also look like they have a split side seam. Hendo's shorts in the Rampage and Silva fight both had a split side seam. Not sure if that is purely for Hendo or if it will be in the new line.
