Essential Chambray Short (6.5")

About this find

The Essential Chambray Short has a 6.5-inch inseam and a relaxed fit with a straight leg. It sits below the natural waist, so it works as a casual warm-weather short. Made from 98% organic cotton and 2% LYCRA, it has built-in stretch and extra breathability for warm, sunny days. It is part tailored and part lounge, which gives you a short that handles errands and downtime equally well.

The elasticated waistband includes a cotton drawcord with wave logo metal tips, so you can adjust the fit to suit you. Two front slash pockets give you room for your phone and keys. At the back, welt pockets close with a button at the wearer's right, a handy spot for a card or small item. Metal enamel buttons add a neat finishing touch to the chambray fabric.

It joins the Essential Short family as an all-purpose option. A plain white tee and your favorite sandals make an easy pairing for a sunny afternoon. Before washing, close all fastenings and turn the short inside out, then machine wash cold with like colors on the delicate cycle. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low and remove promptly, and use a cool iron when needed. The model, Cale, is 6'1 and wears a size Medium.
