I've got cheap, mid price and posh shorts and i think my £12:99 decathlon shorts are as good my £70 ones. Expensive trainers and decent socks for me but not bothered about the other kit anymore.
-
I just use Wiggle's dhb brand, usually the 5" Run Short. £30 though (although I think I got my last pairs in a sale), but they're very comfy with a mesh inner.
I've been thinking about trying to get something off the ground that uses sustainable materials/doesn't cost the earth/looks the part
First bit sounds like Contra which is the brand started by Paul Sinton-Hewitt (he of parkrun fame).
But their aren't classic cut shorts and they're quite expensive.

Still on my primark "exercise shorts" I bought in 2010 to put on for going in shops over bibshorts on a big tour

I’ve looked at tracksmith previously and I would be willing to spend more (than decathlon) for shorts which could also be worn casually.. more subtle branding and cut etc.
I keep seeing ads for a tracksmithesque brand called iffley road (or something along those lines) ... but I know better than to click those links for fear of being chased all over the internet.

Never really that taken with tracksmith stuff. Some of their tops look ok.
I’m a total buyer so I have some Satisfy, Soar, Doxa and Noah running stuff but mostly I stick to Nike.

What do people think about running clothing, in particular their shorts. There's a couple of companies like Tracksmith who offer more 'upmarket'/premium stuff a bit like how Rapha positioned themselves for cycling. But I can't really find anywhere that looks like it does a pair of classic, nicely cut 'short' shorts that aren't silly money.
I've been thinking about trying to get something off the ground that uses sustainable materials/doesn't cost the earth/looks the part and wondering how others on here see it. Or are we all just happy with getting stuff from Decathlon (which don't get me wrong is very good for the price IMO).
