Built to Last
We went all-in on durability with a 100% cotton twill weave from the Italian denim masters at Candiani. Weighing in at 275g/m², this fabric is tough as hell but without feeling like cardboard.
Hands in Pockets
Featuring the same angled waist pockets as their big brother, the Cargo Pants. Sturdy, roomy, and just waiting for your hands to keep them company.
Gear Up with Side Pockets
The patch pockets? They’re the heart and soul of these shorts. Big enough for all your bits and bobs but designed to avoid the ballooning effect. The flap + American press stud combo keeps everything locked down.
Sharpened Up
Inspired by old-school army surplus but given a modern-day treatment. We tweaked the fit to sit just above the knee, keeping it relaxed but refined. Room to move, but without the “fresh out of boot camp” effect.
Battle-Ready Details
Soft yet tough cotton? We didn’t stop there. Reinforced heavy-duty YKK zip, bar-tacked pockets, and rock-solid stitching on stress points. These shorts aren’t just for one summer—they’re in it for the long haul.
Homegrown Craftsmanship
These shorts are made from Regenagri-certified Spanish cotton, promoting healthier and sustainable farming. From there, it heads to Italy for spinning, dying and weaving and Portugal to be cut and made. A 100% European operation, ensuring fair working conditions and a lower carbon footprint.
Mission Accomplished
These shorts respect their military roots whilst slipping effortlessly into your everyday life. Durable, practical, and sharp enough for all your sunny adventures—wherever mission you’re on.
