Men's Casual Drawstring Washed Shorts — Product details

How to measure

Choose either body measurements (to pick a size) or garment measurements (most accurate for online purchases). Garment measurement is recommended: lay the shorts flat, smooth wrinkles, measure across and then double where noted to get full circumferences.

Body measurements (to select size)

1. Waist — Measure around where you normally wear shorts (at or slightly below the navel). Keep the tape snug but not tight.
2. Hips — Measure around the fullest part of the hips/buttocks with feet together.
3. Thigh — Measure around the fullest part of the upper thigh (about 1" / 2.5 cm below the crotch).
4. Inseam — From the top of the inner thigh down to the point where you want the hem to sit.

Garment measurements (recommended for accuracy)

1. Waist (flat) — Measure across the top of the waistband (unstretched) and double. For elastic/drawstring waists also measure the waistband fully stretched to show the range.
2. Hips — Measure across the widest part of the shorts and double.
3. Thigh — Measure across the leg 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam and double.
4. Front rise — From the top of the front waistband to the crotch seam.
5. Inseam — From the crotch seam down the inner leg seam to the hem.
6. Outseam / Length — From the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the outside seam.
7. Leg opening — Measure across the hem and double.
8. Tip: Compare these measurements to a pair you already own (measured the same way). Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Common materials and what to expect:

• Main fabric — Washed cotton twill is typical (often 100% cotton). Some versions may include a small percentage of elastane (e.g., 1–3%) for added stretch.
• Pocket lining — Usually lightweight polyester or a cotton blend.
• Waistband & drawstring — Cotton or cotton-blend cord; hardware (eyelets/grommets) typically metal.

Because the shorts are garment-washed, expect a softer hand, subtle color variations and a lived-in finish. Always check the sewn content label on the garment for exact fiber percentages and care symbols.

Model information

Model height: 6'1" (185 cm). Model waist: 32" (81 cm). Model is wearing size M. The pair shown has an approximate 7" inseam and displays a relaxed, above-the-knee length.

Fit note: These shorts are designed for a casual/relaxed fit. If you prefer a slimmer look, consider sizing down; for more room or extra length, size up. The drawstring lets you fine-tune the waist fit.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash inside out on cold or gentle cycle to protect the washed finish and color.
• Wash with like colors; for the first wash, wash separately to avoid possible dye transfer.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that can strip color.
• Avoid fabric softener on stretch blends; it can reduce fabric recovery over time.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to dry to minimize shrinkage and preserve shape.
• Reshape while damp and fasten the drawstring to prevent tangling in the machine.
• If ironing is needed, iron inside out on low–medium heat; avoid direct heat on trims or hardware.
• Spot-treat stains promptly and test stain removers on an inconspicuous area first.
• Store folded in a cool, dry place—avoid hanging heavy items from the waistband to prevent stretching.

Note: Natural fibers like cotton may shrink slightly after the first wash; allow for this when choosing a size.

Style tips

• Weekend casual: Pair with a soft crewneck tee or henley and canvas sneakers for an effortless look.
• Beach-ready: Wear with a lightweight linen or short-sleeve button shirt and sandals or espadrilles.
• Smart-casual: Tuck in a slim polo or short-sleeve oxford and add loafers or clean leather sneakers.
• Layering: Add a lightweight overshirt or utility jacket for cooler evenings—keep the silhouette relaxed.
• Color pairing: Neutral shorts (khaki, navy, olive) pair well with white, stripes or pastels; brighter colors balance best with subdued tops.
• Fit & finishing: Use the drawstring to fine-tune the waist—tie visibly for a casual vibe or tuck it in for a cleaner look. Roll the hem once for a shorter, lived-in style.

Accessories: low-profile socks or no-show socks for sneakers, a casual belt (if shorts have loops), a minimal watch and sunglasses complete the outfit.
