Thick rope-like yarns are used to join two layers of cotton gauze into a style big on suppleness, heft and texture. This is a fabric that pays homage to a historically significant sewing technique - the Double Gauze Monster Sashiko.
The inspiration for this style is the traditional Sashiko sewing technique. Used as a functional sewing technique for repairs and decorative effects Sashiko is respected for its handmade style, prominent stitching and patterning effects. Here, a Dobby weave is used to recreate the prominent stitch, which adds a prominent textural element to the surface. The truly special part is that this version joins two luxuriously soft layers of cotton gauze. The result is real weight with a sense of plushness and volume. It's a pleasure to wear and breaths well for the warm days. The pure natural color is a summer staple.
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 that 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.

These are now my most comfortable shorts I own. Beautiful details, sturdy construction, thick and luxurious, but nice and cool on a hot day. Took some faith to follow Gustin’s size recommendations but very glad I did.
