Are you looking for charcoal red panel plus size shorts that look smart enough for a casual evening out and tough enough for the gym? Discover the Particle “Bold Charcoal” Edition in 230 GSM hosiery corduroy, made for men in plus sizes XL to 5XL (waist 34 to 52 inches). These relaxed-fit Bermuda shorts (half pants) are cut for bigger frames, not scaled up from slim patterns. Whether you search for big size shorts for men or plus size gym shorts for men, these are made to fit.
Why the Red Panel Design Works
This isn’t just a design choice; it’s a structural advantage.
- Rich Charcoal Melange: The heathered charcoal body looks richer than a flat grey and helps hide minor stains and creases.
- Red Panel Pop: The bold red side panel adds energy, and the two charcoal stripes inside it give a clean, sporty finish.
- Durable Blend: Made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, these shorts are built to last. The polyester helps the shorts hold their shape and helps the inner thigh area resist wear from friction.
Engineered for Comfort & Style
- Above-the-Knee Fit: Cut to sit above the knee, so the fabric doesn’t catch on your knees when you sit or squat. Ideal for gym sessions and active use.
- Regular Fit (Relaxed Thigh): Extra room in the seat and thigh prevents bunching. You get structured coverage without a baggy “cargo short” look.
- Secure Waistband: The high-rise elastic waistband with adjustable drawstring grips comfortably without digging in, and stays in place during movement.
- Deep Side Pockets: Two spacious pockets, one on each side, big enough for a phone and wallet.
- All-Day Wear: Perfect for morning walks, gym sessions or running errands. The hosiery corduroy is soft against the skin but thick enough to provide structure.

Care Instructions
Machine wash cold, inside out, and wash separately the first time so the red panel does not transfer onto lighter clothes. Dry in shade and avoid high-heat drying to keep the fit and colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the design look like?
These shorts have a heathered charcoal body with a red side panel running down the leg, two charcoal stripes inside the panel, a black drawstring and a small red Particle logo on the thigh.
What fabric are these charcoal red panel plus size shorts made from?
They are made from 230 GSM hosiery corduroy, an 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend with a ribbed finish.
Are these shorts 100% cotton?
No. They are an 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend, which adds durability and helps the fabric resist wear. If you want pure cotton, our 190 GSM 100% cotton shorts are lighter and softer, and suit home wear and night wear.
Are these charcoal grey Bermuda shorts or half pants?
They are both. In India, Bermuda shorts are also sold as half pants. These charcoal grey plus size Bermuda shorts are relaxed-fit half pants for men in sizes XL to 5XL (waist 34 to 52 inches), in charcoal with a red side panel.
How long are these shorts?
They end just above the knee, which gives free movement and stops the fabric catching on your knees when you sit or squat.
What sizes are available?
These shorts come in XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL for waists from 34 to 52 inches. For a 48 inch waist choose 4XL, and for a 50 to 52 inch waist choose 5XL.
Which size should I choose?
Measure your waist where you tie your shorts. XL fits 34-36 inches, 2XL fits 38-40 inches, 3XL fits 42-44 inches, 4XL fits 46-48 inches and 5XL fits 50-52 inches. If you are between sizes, size up.

Do these shorts have pockets?
Yes. There are two deep side pockets, one on each side, large enough for a phone and wallet.
Can I return or exchange this item?
