Light and airy 8.5oz selvedge denim shorts. No-plastic-elastic waistband, ingeniously made from 100% organic cotton and natural rubber. Made from the same lustrous cotton-linen mix denim as our 125 Selvedge Shirt. Dark indigo from new, softening and developing character as it ages, summer after summer, holiday after holiday. Just like with our latest jeans we’re making these shorts with zero plastic inside. This isn’t the easiest or cheapest way, but we believe it’s the best way. Hidden plastic is one of the dirty secrets of the clothing industry. Even if it’s not in the main fabric it lurks in labels, thread and others trims. 100% plastic free. Sewn with Tencel™ thread derived from wood pulp. No polyester labels – all 100% cotton. A British-made 100% cotton internal drawcord adjuster. Then there’s the 100% biodegradable elastic – a jewel of a find and something we’re very proud of. The Squad Shorts were designed by Amelia at our cutting table in Calderdale. Cut, sewn and finished by Bob and the team in good Leicester. Squad Shorts
