People say shorts are just shorts. We beg to differ—and our New Shorts are here to prove it.

When designing these shorts, we had one simple mission: make them as comfy as your favourite sports shorts, but sharp enough to wear everywhere. We found the answer at Candiani in Italy.

A 275 g/m² woven fabric that’s just as supple as a jersey but a hell of a lot stronger and better at keeping its shape. The slightly loose fit allows you to move freely without turning into a shapeless eyesore. Maximum comfort without sacrificing style.

Every step of the journey is European, and 100% traceable. The cotton? Grown in Spain using regenerative farming. The fabric? Woven at the legendary Candiani mill in Italy. The garment make? Expertly crafted at Malhas Sonix SA in Portugal. Quality, sustainability, and a damn fine result—all in one.

Every little thing has been thought through:

• A metal zip on the back pocket to secure your important belongings
• Embroidered eyelets for a cleaner finish
• A softly faded wash for a characterful, lived-in feel
• Four perfectly-sized pockets so you can carry all your essentials bulge-free

These shorts epitomise summer. You’ll be slowing everything down before you know it, soaking up the good times. Available in navy, camel, military green, and now off with, they’re ready for whatever getaway, or staycation comes your way.
