Corduroy shorts are for mavericks—and we’re happy to offer them for that reason alone. There are, of course, other reasons to prefer this alternative fabric to a more conventional chino short: the heft, the durability, the hand-feel of the velvety ribs. But it’s also just a little easier to imagine hanging loose and getting your groove on in a pair of cord shorts…and especially in the purple shade (flashback 1981) we’re offering, designed for the enjoyment of Merry Pranksters everywhere. The neutral colors are a bit more versatile. They can herald the arrival of a van-dwelling rebel or provide the open-minded man with a fun twist on smart summer casual. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Imported.
