Why Choose Our Mens Corduroy Shorts

Meet the shoulder-season MVP! 

Cord shorts are that sweet spot for the in-between days when a linen walkshort leaves you a bit nippy but full-length pants are overkill. Warmer than your average summer short, but still happy in the sun. Here are our favourite options:

• Relaxed and straight cuts: Loose or clean, your call

• Above knee and mid thigh lengths: Shorter or a touch more coverage

• Elastic and fixed waist: Easy comfort or a sharper sit

The fabric's brushed cotton cord, which just gets better with wear. It softens up the more you wear it and holds those washed, earthy tones really well, so they look good long after that first outing.

Throw ‘em on with a tee and a cord or linen shirt. They're also easy with thongs, slides or sneakers depending on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Mens Corduroy Shorts

What length should mens corduroy shorts be?

Down to preference. Above-knee lengths sit shorter and more retro, while mid-thigh gives a touch more coverage. Most cord walkshorts land somewhere in between. Try a couple or ask us what suits your build.

Are corduroy shorts too warm for summer?

They're warmer than a linen or cotton short, which makes them ideal for the shoulder seasons rather than peak heat. On milder summer days they're fine, but for the hottest ones you might prefer something lighter.

How should corduroy shorts fit?

Most cord shorts sit relaxed through the leg for an easy, casual look. Remember cord loosens slightly with wear, so factor that in on the waist. Check the fit or give us a shout if you're between sizes.

Can you swim in corduroy shorts?

Not the best idea. Cord is a brushed cotton, so it soaks up water and takes an age to dry, unlike a proper boardshort. Keep these for dry land and grab a pair of boardies for the water.
