From New York clothier Ovadia & Sons comes these Italian indigo blue linen shorts finished in the label’s signature striped linen and fitted with a cuff to seal the deal. American-made with the utmost detail, these shorts also feature a hidden watch pocket and will look good all summer long. They’re available now through Ovadia & Sons online.
Left Field NYC drops their Angus Young Shorts for the spring and summer months ahead, giving us some well-made pieces in the perfect length. Dubbed the “Angus Young Goes to Princeton” collection, the shorts are painstakingly crafted in the USA from a variety preppy-toned 100% organic cotton twills, and feature a chainstitched waistband, YKK zip-fly with Corozo button, and Japanese chambray pocket bags. Look for them now on Left Field’s online store.
Our friends over at Gear Patrol have teamed up with swimwear label Onia for this limited-edition colorway of their Amaury board short. You may recall our recent interview with Carl of Onia as he discussed why he chose to enter the swimwear market highlighting a major gap in finding a well-fitting pair of shorts that’s not overdone with pockets and designs. Onia’s designs are more timeless with a more tailored fit, an 8″ inseam and curved waistband and are technically sound with their paneled cotton nylon construction.
They’re made in the USA and this special collaboration in ocean blue are limited to 99 pieces. These feature khaki detailing on the drawstring, zipper linings and a coin pocket.
Left Field does it again, this time bringing us four different variations of their Angus Young shorts. The four styles — Spanish chambray, Japanese Hickory Stripe, Japanese Pinstripe, and a US grown and woven red Organic Cotton Twill (above) — each feature some amazing details worth noting. They include a chain-stitched waist band, durable YKK zipper fly, back welt pockets, Japanese chambray pocket bags, and sustainable Corozo buttons throughout.
Outlier’s 60/30 Shorts merge the brand’s 60/30 Chinos and Three Way Shorts, giving us an extremely comfortable and flexible pair of shorts. The inseam clocks in at 11″ and land just above the knee for most. While the exterior is made from Outlier’s 60/30 Cloth, the inside’s a linen-cotton clend that’s perfect for some summer comfort and also feature flow through pockets and hidden draw strings in case you have intentions of getting wet.
If you’re looking to ditch pants altogether in the warmer months ahead, then check out this Prince of Wales Check weave Chino Short from the folks at YMC. It’s impeccably crafted from cotton dobby and features contrasting buttons and a really comfortable fit.
If the current stock of well-fitting shorts on the market don’t do it for you, we suggest you pick up a pair of these vintage varsity shorts from Ralph Lauren. Available in limited stock, the shorts are available in a white finish and are cut in a fairly loose, comfortable fit. Mixing that with a heavy cotton twill shell and positioning it to sit just above the knee, I’m not having trouble remembering the 90s right about now.

Another set of shorts, this time from the good folks at Post Overalls. I’ve been personally following the American outfit for quite sometime and have really come to admire their approach and appreciation for vintage clothing. Not sure where they pulled the fabric for their Menpolini shorts, but floral print is really a standout offering for the season. Once this rough weather is behind us, I’m sure gear like this will be out in full force, but none will be as unique as the rare gems Post Overalls will be dishing out.

We turned you to Red Collar Project’s Spring 2010 collection months ago and now that the pieces are hitting retailers’ shelves, we can dedicate some space to specific standouts. The Henrik shorts are great for the coming months as they’re light, and fit really well. They’re a slimmer cut with longer legs, which bodes well for slim tall guys. Like me.

New York-based Loden Dager infused much of their fabrics for the Spring collection from Peru and other parts of Central America, allowing the creative juices to flow shortly thereafter. For a label that was only launched a few years back in 2006, their evolution’s been seamless and it shows in their work; case-in-point — the P22 fisherman shorts. Everything from the dark denim finish to the silver zippers on the pockets make this a standout for the coming months.
