Who this trunk is for
Choose the PRO cut in hologram if you want maximum visual impact under stage lights in a more aggressive classic physique silhouette than the regular cut — narrower side, higher leg opening, more exposure of the upper thigh and glute. The reflective hologram fabric catches stage lights from across the venue and reads sharp in call-out photos and post-show photoshoots. This is for competitors who want the trunk to register on camera — not disappear.
This is our standard hologram PRO cut at $49.95. If you want a premium hologram fabric with deeper, more consistent reflectivity, see our Limited Edition PRO Cut. If you want a more aggressive cut than standard PRO, see our Custom PRO Cut.
The three classic physique cuts we make
We make three cuts of classic physique trunks. Each is built to NPC and IFBB classic physique stage rules. They differ in how aggressive the silhouette is.
- Regular cut: Traditional classic physique silhouette. More side coverage. The conservative stage-standard fit.
- PRO cut (this trunk): Narrower side seam and higher leg opening than regular. More glute and upper-thigh exposure.
- Custom PRO Cut: Our most aggressive classic physique cut. Narrower at the side seam and higher leg opening than PRO, for maximum thigh, glute, and quad exposure within NPC and IFBB rules. Made to order.
Compare PRO cut hologram fabrics
All three of our in-stock PRO cut trunks use the same PRO cut — they differ in fabric:
- Hologram (this trunk, $49.95): Standard hologram. Maximum stage-light pop at the standard price.
- Velvet ($59.95): Rich texture that catches light softly. Excellent contrast with darker skin tones.
- Limited Edition Hologram ($59.95): Premium hologram fabric from a specific production run. Deeper, more consistent reflectivity.
Sizing
Measure your waist at the hip-bone level.
- Small: 28–30″ waist
- Medium: 32–34″ waist (typical 175–205 lb competitor)
- Large: 36–38″ waist
Note: the PRO cut runs a touch more revealing than the regular cut at the same waist size — there is less side coverage. If you’re between sizes or new to the PRO cut, call us at 727-784-0844 before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Do these meet NPC and IFBB classic physique guidelines?
Yes. The PRO cut is built to meet current NPC and IFBB Classic Physique coverage requirements. Solid hologram fabrics are stage-legal under current rules.
How does hologram fabric perform on stage vs. on camera?
Hologram fabric is high-reflectivity — it catches stage lights and reads as a bright, defined trunk from the audience and judges’ table. On camera it photographs sharp and pops in flash photography. The trade-off is that hologram requires more careful handling than matte lycra and can show wear under bright spotlights if creased.
What’s the difference between this and the Limited Edition Hologram?
This is our standard hologram fabric at $49.95. The Limited Edition uses a premium hologram fabric from a specific production run that has deeper, more consistent reflectivity across the surface and better stretch recovery. Both are stage-legal; the Limited Edition is for competitors who want the most reflective hologram we make and don’t mind paying $10 more.
What’s the difference between regular cut, PRO cut, and Custom PRO Cut?
Three tiers of classic physique cut, each more aggressive than the last. Regular cut is the traditional silhouette with more side coverage — most popular with first-time and amateur competitors. PRO cut (this trunk) is narrower on the side with a higher leg opening for more glute and upper-thigh exposure — the cut most competitive classic physique athletes wear on stage. Custom PRO Cut is our most aggressive cut, narrower than PRO at the side seam with a higher leg opening, for maximum exposure within the rules — made to order for experienced competitors at national and pro shows.
How fast do you ship?
Most in-stock men’s trunks ship same-day or next business day from Clearwater, Florida. If you have a show in less than a week, call us at 727-784-0844 before ordering and we’ll confirm what’s possible for your date.
Will competition tan transfer to the hologram?
Hologram fabric is less forgiving than matte lycra when it comes to tan transfer. Always apply your competition tan well in advance and confirm it is fully dry before putting on the trunk. Bring a backup pair of trunks to the venue for the morning show if you’re also competing in the evening show.

Care
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Lay flat to dry — never put competition fabric in the dryer. Hologram fabric requires extra gentle handling: avoid hangers with sharp edges, do not iron, and store flat to prevent creasing that can dull the reflectivity. Avoid contact with self-tanner before it has fully dried.
