    Terry T-short

    So I bought these (the 2005 model) and was so excited when they came in the mail! But when I tried them on, the chamois pokes out in the back! It doesn't curve up with your butt, just sticks straight out in a really unattractive way.

    Does anyone else have these shorts with this problem? I really want them to work because everything else fits great. Or should I return them? Thanks!

    I've had this happen with shorts that are too big. The short actually may not be tight enough to pull the chamois closer to the body. However, in MOST (not all) cases, once I wash and wear the shorts a couple of times the chamois "softens" and doesn't stick out as much.

    I think the Terry shorts are pretty "true" to what we Americans have come to think of as S-M-L. (Now...in those Europeeeen brands like Assos and EtxeOndo I wear a larger size!)

    Which brings to mind a question that I've pondered for some time but never asked: Does anyone know if the chamois (chamoises?? ) are generally the same size in all short sizes or if they are "adjusted" for the sizes??

    Chamois Size

    While there is a size difference between men's specific chamois and women's specific chamois, the size of the chamois generally does not change from size to size.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I love the Terry T-Short and never have a problem with them. The Chamois fits nme just fine. Note they are now on sale for $40. I just order 2 pairs (the longer one as I have about 6 pairs of the shorter ones).

    Over the years I've bought alot from Terry. I never have a problem with them in returning clothing. They are also very responsive to emails and questions. Georgeana runs a good company. Send them an email. Who knows, maybe there is a problem with this one chamois.
