Most shorts are an afterthought. Ours aren't. The new Signature Shorts are built with the same attention to fabric, fit, and finish as everything else we make — and they're the missing piece in your warm-weather rotation.
The Problem with Most Shorts
Shorts season usually means compromise. Athletic shorts feel too gym-coded for everyday wear. Linen shorts wrinkle the second you sit down. Most cotton shorts are made from thin, cheap fabric that loses its shape after a few washes and rides up in all the wrong places. The fit is usually too short or too long, and the colors are either bland neutrals or beachy pastels that don't go with anything else in your wardrobe.
We wanted to make shorts that solve all of that — pieces that feel just as considered as our tees and sweats, with the same fabric integrity, the same vintage-washed palette, and a fit that actually works on real bodies.
The Fabric
The Signature Shorts are cut from 100% certified organic cotton — heavyweight enough to hold structure, soft enough to wear all day. The fabric has a slight vintage texture that pairs naturally with our tees, so a Signature Shorts and Muscle Half Crop combination reads as a single intentional set rather than two random pieces.
Like everything else we make, they're produced in our fair trade, carbon-neutral facility in Tamil Nadu, India, and they ship in 100% home compostable packaging.
The Fit
We obsessed over the inseam length. Too short reads costume-y; too long and you're back in cargo-short territory. The Signature Shorts hit at a true mid-thigh — long enough to drape cleanly, short enough to keep proportions modern. The leg opening is relaxed without flaring, and the elasticated waistband is structured so it doesn't bunch when you sit.
The Colors
Three vintage-washed shades to start: Vintage Red, Vintage Yellow, and Vintage Blue. The "vintage" in the names refers to the wash treatment — these aren't loud, saturated tones. They're muted, sun-faded versions of those colors, the kind of palette that ages well and pairs with neutrals without competing for attention.
How to Wear Them
The fastest combination is a Signature Short in Vintage Red with a Muscle Half Crop in Vintage Black or White, plus the Founders Cap. Done. For something more layered, throw the Signature Crop Hoodie over a tee with the shorts — the hoodie's cropped length keeps proportions clean.
For the gym or post-workout, pair with the Frame Tank in White. The ribbed jersey keeps things lightweight when it counts.
Why It Matters
A wardrobe is only as strong as its weakest piece. If your tees, hoodies, and pants are made with care but your shorts are an afterthought, the whole rotation drops a level when summer hits. The Signature Shorts close that gap.
