What an underrated garment a men’s short is. It never really gets credit for being such a big part of a man’s summer wardrobe. Its longer-legged brother, the pant, tends to steal the limelight being a year-round go-to and without doubt, a stronger contender for a custom-made garment. Rightfully so, with hip and leg shape creating necessary fit preferences that a guy can only find in custom-made clothing.
The short, however, has had a new “leg” of energy recently, as guys are finding that their workout clothes with tech stretch comfort work just as well for weekends, and there’s no easier at-home wear for these WFH times. With lines blurred between on the clock and off the clock hours, the short is no longer relegated to the height of summer or resort dressing. It truly has become the go-to pant alternative for summer and beyond.
Bermuda Style
The Bermuda short originates from British military attire for troops stationed in Bermuda during the war. These functional garments allowed men to adapt to the heat, and later became quite popular on college campuses due to their dress pant appearance when worn strictly with a belt. This style remains the most prevalent today. A belted short works similarly to a shortened summer chino, easy to wear with a tucked-in shirt for summer parties at the Hamptons or with an untucked casual shirt or polo for weekend nonchalance. Our latest option available in chino and short lets you add a strip of contrast color to the trim of the back pockets, adding a touch of playfulness very much inspired by what you would find in Ivy League attire.
Golf Pro
Our golf short offers intelligent options for players who are looking for a comfortable pair of shorts, waistbands with gripping technology to hold down that shirt, and ample pockets with places for scorecards and tees. Added to a perfected fit and the Client’s length of choice, it seems an easy upgrade for any avid golfer who wants to stand out in individual style rather than simply adapting to the sameness of off-the-peg brands. With our broad range of fabrics and colors, from tech performance classics to summer cotton brights, the possibility of having shorts (and golf attire overall) unlike anything else available has never been more achievable.
Workout Buddy
Our pull-on short was introduced last year and was immediately a hit, following market trends of an easy elastic-waisted short that can be pulled on rather than fastened up. This hybrid styling is a new category of short that speaks to the guy who doesn’t want to give up on the comfort of his workout gear. With the compression lining option, we can build shorts for running, hiking, tennis, and workouts whilst quietly bringing custom-made to the athleisure sector.
Pool and Beach
With our 4-way stretch and performance fabrics, you can build the pull-on short with a lighter mesh liner to make it pool or beach-ready. A stylish way to enjoy summer days with comfort options of a drawstring and pockets designed for a plunge—although not, perhaps, for swimming a marathon. A Client can easily shorten his shorts to suit his style and add legroom to his own specs. We even offer a split hem option for extra kick room.
All of our shorts come with the fit guarantee, making the awkward length decision easy to manage—no need to waste time trying different inseam lengths from off-the-peg brands that attempt to cover each length but fall short. What do these measurements mean, anyway? I find this a totally confusing way to buy any short, so why bother when your custom-made short can be individually built to your exact preference? Shopping better means shopping less and inspiring a better way to curate a wardrobe of items built just for you. As you begin to think of an easy summer short, let us help you find your perfect pair this summer.
