A rare combination of deep indigo dye with an explosion of rainbow color in the weft. Fabric art paired with our classic shorts for summer. The Indigo Rainbow Shorts.
As you can imagine, we see a lot of fabric and use more styles in a year than many brands do in 10. We're always challenging ourselves to find something new for you and truth be told it's something we love doing. The styles that really stand apart for us are those that blend elements of classic style with completely unique details built into the core of the material. That's precisely why we love this style. It starts on top in classic form. A denim weave with a pure, dark indigo warp. An 11 ounce weight makes it wearable but substantial enough to last and wear in any season. The weft yarn is the true star of this fabric. Rainbow color yarn is used - blues, yellows, browns, and white. A true explosion of color. If the yarn was smooth, you would see this rainbow primarily on the backside of the fabric. However, big slub yarn was also used in the weft to masterfully allow all this unique color to better peak through the top surface. The slub yarn displaces areas of the warp to help the rainbow show through against the top indigo in the form of a true tapestry of grain. It's shows, but it's not overwhelming. That's the special balance that makes this a usable work of fabric art. Discover how it wears in for yourself.
Chino shorts are a must have, that's why they've become one of our most popular warm weather styles over the last few years. Now we're taking the style one step further to make them even easier to love. The big change - a drawstring elastic waistband. Sounds simple, but the transformation in wearability and comfort is huge. We start in classic form by making one more refinement in fit to absolutely dial it in while retaining all the classic details from the slash front pockets, single back pocket with button closure and clean lines. These are the elements make the style so versatile - casual or slightly more formal depending on what you pair it with. The waistband is finished with a thick inset elastic, plush cotton drawstring, and beautiful herringbone liner. Instant on, instant fit. They stay put with no thought and the movement in the waist means pure comfort whether you're sitting, walking or standing. Simple, classic style made even better.
We're really excited to do all this in the USA at a value that's equally refreshing. Enjoy these.
"I really love Gustin. I just don't think I'd choose another brand at any price point. And I love watching for new products/return of old favs. But a very important part of the experience is the great customer service."
