Forty Thieves Shorts

Hi guys,

We at Forty Thieves would like to thank everyone for the great response to our shorts. Here is a brief history of Forty Thieves, I started this company after a bad decision to bring in partners for my old business. The old business was called "SOVEREIGNMMA". My designs and directions were compromised by people who were lets say less enthusiastic about designs but more into the dollars. So to protect the integrity of the mission statement, I dissolved the company and created Forty Thieves with better designs, art directions, and still uphold the integrity of the business.

Our limited edition white binding shorts actually sold out due to the response from you guys. If anyone is looking for the white binding, Budovideos.com is the only authorized retailer that carries them.

To answer some of the questions about our shorts:
1) Our shorts has been worn at a few MMA events such as Total Combat, Rage in the Cage, and soon at Cage Match IV in Kauai on Aug. 5th.
2) The shorts are made out of microfiber with a neoprene waistband and gusset. It dries very quickly during training. We would guarantee the fastest. It is very light.
3)The waist size of the shorts are actual sizing..if you are an actual size 30 then the shorts size would be a 30.
4)The reason for the neoprene waistband is because unlike most training shorts, our shorts doesn't sag in the back when they get wet. The neoprene work like a wetsuit..when it gets wet it gets tighter. (no pun intended).

Thank you all!

I understand that going into larger sizes is not always the best idea (as they do not sell well) but it would be great if you stepped it up to a 40.

Otherwise I'm diggin what I see and hope you continue to deliver quality product such as this.

The name Forty Thieves was chosen because we thought that a word with such a negative connotation can be turned into something positive.

lol. I always thought it was a reference to the Arabian nights tale, Ali Baba and the Forty thieves.
