Quick verdict

A relaxed-cut black sport short with an embroidered Ac logo, contrast side panels, and back-waist piping, offered in numeric sizes 44–50 and letters S–3XL. The only independent evidence is one rep-community thread on Acne shorts generally, plus the brand's own size chart; both concern sizing, not this listing. Confirm measurements before ordering.

Pros

· Reported oversized/relaxed cut means most buyers don't need to size up
· Catalog construction: embroidered Ac logo, matte tech cotton blend, geometric contrast side panels, back-waist piping
· Contrast piping set with a locating die and double-needle chain stitching, per catalog
· Side and back pockets stated in the catalog

Cons

· Two size systems are listed at once — numeric 44/46/48/50 and letters S–3XL — and the published numeric chart only covers 46–52

Fit notes

Reported as oversized/relaxed, so sizing up isn't needed; one rep buyer took XS and still had room. Acne's men's chart maps 46=S, 48=M, 50=L, 52=XL (waist 31.5/33/34.5/36 in). Treat the numeric size as the anchor.

Buy if

You want a deliberately oversized black sport-casual short with a discreet embroidered logo and contrast piping, and you're fine selecting by the numeric size reference. The available sizing claims point this way, so buy directly if that's your fit.

Skip if

You want a fitted, tailored cut — the reported Acne bottoms block runs oversized. Also skip if you need 2XL or 3XL, since the brand's published numeric chart stops before those letters.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to size up?⌄

No. The cut is reported as oversized/relaxed, and a rep buyer who took XS still described an oversized fit.

Which numeric size is a medium?⌄

Acne's men's bottoms chart maps 48 to M, with a 33 in waist; 46 is S at 31.5 in and 50 is L at 34.5 in.

What does the catalog say the construction is?⌄

An embroidered Ac logo on a matte tech cotton blend, with geometric contrast side panels, back-waist piping, double-needle chain stitching along the contrast trim, and side and back pockets.

Is there independent buyer evidence for this exact listing?⌄

No. The available claims come from a single rep-community thread about Acne Studios shorts generally and from the brand's own size guide, so quality and construction here rest on catalog material only.

Public notes used

Rep version of Acne Studios shorts was described as a solid buy for the price and something the buyer would recommend.

sizing · tip · 70% confidence

Acne Studios shorts are cut to fit oversized / relaxed, so buyers generally do not need to size up — a rep buyer reported taking XS and still getting an oversized fit.

sizing · tip · 60% confidence

Acne Studios' own men's bottoms size chart maps the numeric sizes as 46=S, 48=M, 50=L, 52=XL (waist 31.5 / 33 / 34.5 / 36 in), so the numbered size is the reliable reference when only some numbers are stocked.
