I like my Patagonia Baggies⢠like anyone, but they can only go so far. These shorts feel like a more complete and universal item. I know I know, you donāt believe in shorts, thatās great for you. I do, and these are why. Also,Ā in certain situations, shorts with an Oxford can look more put together than with pants if done right. These are great because they are proper shorts and also double as swim trunks so you can travel with less stuff or be a āfun, spontaneous personā if the mood strikes. Outlier are fabric freaks so I trust them pretty explicitly and their photos and experiments are fun to keep up with.
my good friend tevin at fadepants is shortly releasing more shorts. i think if you're a fan of the baggy below the knee cut, he makes the best available especially considering his price point. drafts the patterns, uses excellent denim, sews every pair to the highest standard by himself. really really cares about the quality he puts his name on. and the cut itself is almost like a mix of the best from acne and balenciaga jeans in shorts form
personally i wear a pair of fadepants corduroy shorts we worked on together last year almost every day it's above 70-75 degrees, and i have nothing but good things to say about them in the year i've essentially had them as my only outdoor shorts (i have basketball shorts for the house) link to his instagram is on here for anyone who wants to see
