Boyhood Shorts

Shorts with a little room, like the first uniform pair bought for a boy who has just joined the Scouts.

A growing boy, and a parent choosing a size on the large side because he will grow into it soon enough.

A pair that brings that remembered scene into the present: oversized shorts pulled in tight with a belt.

The cloth is a wool tropical blended with polyester.

A dry hand and good breathability keep them comfortable through high summer.

The silhouette takes 2 pleats at the front for room.

The A-line, opening gently from the hips to the hem, is exactly the slightly-too-big trouser of boyhood.

Worn by an adult, though, that generous line falls into a fine drape and reads as elegant.

Innocent memory balanced against maturity. A contradictory appeal that only comes with age.

The center crease is stitched in.

It survives the wash, so they keep a refined line straight out of the machine.

The back pockets take a rounded flap, which adds refinement inside something casual.

The pockets are generous too, so for all their lightness they hold what you need.

Offered in 2 colors, navy and gray.

Both go with anything, and should serve as the base you reach for in summer, when the top is the harder decision.
