Stamford Chino Short

These are the kind of shorts you reach for the minute the sun makes an appearance. Made from pure cotton twill, they have been garment-dyed to give them that slightly faded, lived-in look right from the first wear. The fabric is finished with an emerised face, which means they feel incredibly soft to the touch rather than stiff. Cut in a standard fit with an 8-inch inseam, they hit at just the right point above the knee. The mid-rise waist and classic zip fly keep the silhouette clean and reliable. They are structured enough to look sharp with a tucked-in striped shirt, but relaxed enough for a casual tee. Whether you are heading down to the coast or just setting up camp in a local beer garden, these shorts do the job without any fuss. Pair them with boat shoes or clean leather trainers for an easy, warm-weather outfit.
