Product Insights
The Patch Jersey Short Unisex by Sporty & Rich is a thick 100% cotton jersey short made in Portugal's Ave Valley, known for jersey expertise. Buyers report the fabric maintains shape after washing and the stitching and printed logo hold up for years, countering criticism of the brand's quality decline. However, the fabric feels rough, interior pocket stitching is messy, and brand reputation is marred by founder controversy, design plagiarism, and unresponsive customer service, making buyers feel socially awkward wearing it. The shorts offer versatile styling with blazers, cardigans, or matching tees (sold separately), and are true to size with a structured fit, 6-inch inseam, and non-gym pocket styling. At a sale price of $79.95, they sit between AS Colour and Anine Bing in value.

Criticism of Sporty & Rich founder and customer experiences
The founder of this company is horrible! There used to be an ig called NotSportyandRich that had soooo many receipts from customers that would send in how they either never got their orders, design plagiarism, extremely long wait times, received poor quality pieces falling apart with the high price tags, and rude customer service.

Store experience and quality decline at Sporty & Rich SoHo
The store was actually really well done, however they were making people stand outside for over 2 hours for the purpose of making it look packed. The security told me that only 12 people were allowed in at a time… Emily was there and I interacted with her once and she was very cold. Also the quality has gone WAY down. This is clearly Hanes blanks. Everything was also pre packed in cheap plastic…

Mixed quality review of Sporty & Rich tracksuits
i've had some for a couple years. thick cotton (albeit rough), washes fine and print is as new. the stitching on the inside is a bit tragic but has held up.
