Details

Our updated take on a summer staple, the chino short, made with East Harbour Surplus, the same company that makes our popular Bruce chino.

The shorts use the same fabric and come in largely the same colours, which makes it easy for anyone that owns the chinos already and means both have that same nice washed-cotton feel. 

The only addition is a dark navy in the shorts, as Simon often finds navy a more useful colour in shorts than chinos. It's a rich menswear navy that will fade slightly over time, but not too much as the fabric is already pre-washed.  

  • Comfortable cut with a straight leg
  • Pre-washed so no shrinkage
  • Slant pockets, coin pocket, open back pockets
  • Three colours, beige, navy and khaki

Sizing
  • Simon is wearing a size 48 in the beige and khaki, Lucas is wearing a size 54 in the navy
  • The size refers to a corresponding suit jacket, but best is to work off the waist size in the chart below. Simon's waist, for example, measures just under 34 inches
  • We recommend sizing up and taking in the waist a little if between sizes
  • Split waistband to make them easier to alter
  • Hemmed (unlike the chinos) to the inseams noted below
