100-Day Comfort Guarantee

Short shorts, dark intentions. The Midnights are Frankster black stretch cotton short men's shorts. Sharp, versatile, and built for anything the day (or after-hours) throws at you. Comfort built in, confidence guaranteed.

Fabric & Fit

Same buttery-soft stretch cotton (98% cotton, 2% elastane) but with a shorter cut. So less fabric holding you back.

They’ve got all the comfort of chino shorts, but with a 5” inseam.

Stretchy. Sleek. Saturday-certified. Welcome to the weekend, friend.

The Midnights fit true to size and are designed to hit mid-thigh.

That strapping bloke you’re looking at is Michael. At 6’2” and 90kgs, he is wearing a size L.

Details

We’ve packed in the good stuff:

  • Partly elasticated waistband and a super comfortable fit.
  • High-quality zipper with some cheeky Frankster branding (if anyone is close enough to see this, you’re in for a good night).
  • Two large side-pockets. Plus a secret zippered pocket on the right-hand side so you never lose your valuables. Perfect for stashing your phone, wallet, or tomorrow’s kebab money.
  • A pocket at the back
  • Belt loops for when you feel like dressing your thighs up. Office, date night, or just showing your partner you made an effort.
Put On, Do Good, Give Back
  • Designed in Australia, our Shorts are made from certified cotton and are ethically produced from start to finish.
  • We donate 10% of our profits to Movember. This comes out of our pocket. Not yours!
Care

At Frankster, we’re low maintenance. 

Slide into your Frankster Shorts day in, day out. And for a fresh feel, pop them in the wash at or below 30º. Then let them air-dry. 

Avoid hot washing and tumble drying to protect the fit and finish of your Shorts.

Just right !

I was a bit dubious about buying a pair of shorts from the other side of the world but glad I did. Everything about them is just right. Short but not too short, hard wearing but not too thick and warm, not too loose or tight. In short ( pardon the pun) just right. They are so comfortable, I’m sure I’ll be wearing them a lot - so much so I’m going to buy some more.

Super comfortable shorts

Quite simply the most flattering shorts I’ve ever worn and super comfortable thanks to the elasticated panels on the side of the waistband. They may have traveled half way round the world from Australia to the UK, but the wait was worth it!

I saw these shorts advertised on Facebook

I saw these shorts advertised on Facebook. I bought a pair for my husband as his usual shorts are too baggy on his butt. And wow, they look great on him and he said that they are so comfortable. He has asked me order 3 more pairs of them

Shorties are stylish, high quality yet casual and showcase great man legs

I like my shorts short! These are great looking and just the right balance between casual and smart. Available in multiple colours you will look smart but feel comfortable in any activity. I am very happy with the fabric's soft stretch and the semi elasticated waste (at the back) is genius.

Comfortable Very

I can only confirm what previous reviewers have written about the Shorties
The Shorties are comfortable Very comfortable Not tight as the elastic adjusts to how much I've eaten or how many drinks I've consumed
The zip pocket is a great especially when travelling to put cashin

A convert!

Ok, so I was sceptical. Was it all just advertising hype? Were these guys really serious about having made the best shorts? Surely an internet fad right?

WRONG!! THESE ARE THE BEST SHORTS I HAVE EVER OWNED!!

Comfortable, smart looking a great range of colours. I am 5'7", so length of shorts is important, anything too long makes me look like I have stumps for legs.

I bought the shorties and the not shorties ones (forgot the name sorry!) and you know what? Both lengths are great for me!

Thanks for the great product, the excellent customer service and being what you say you are.

The Walking Mans Shorts

G'day All, I purchased my shorts for walking. Training walks, hiking and trekking walks or 'just going for a walk'. So I was looking for comfortable, nice fitting durable attire.
On long training walks or a hike/trek I carry a water bottle on a belt around my waist.
Now the big attractions with 'The Frankster' was it had belt hoops for the hydration belt plus a zip fly which meant I don't have to detach/reattach everything when I need to empty the internal bladder.
Made in Aussie sealed the deal.
Highly recommend them.
They "Talked the Talk" for me to comfortably 'Walk the Walk' :)
