WHATS NEW

  • Extra pockets: A second back pocket joins the party, plus a hidden zip pocket inside the right pocket to keep your goods secure.

  • Icon status restored: The legendary “Boomshakalaka” text is back at the fly—because some things are sacred.

WHATS THE SAME:

  • The fabric you love: Soft, 98% cotton, 2% spandex stretch fabric
  • That worn-in feel: They feel like old favorites from day one.
  • Comfort waistband: Elastic waistband that doesn’t quit.

Reviews

Love 'em

"Once I found the size that fit me best, these are such a delight, and the terracotta color is so good. I just love that we have this inseam option. I've found sizing down is right for me despite sizing advice and the size guide. I recommend making use of the return/exchange program to find what works best by ordering a couple sizes. I didn't even need to unpack the medium sized pair. The small size helps avoid awkward excess space in the cuff of the legs and gives a better glute contour, especially as the fabric relaxes with first wear after each wash, but this depends somewhat on body composition and not just your dimensions, I suspect."

Perfection

"As a thick thigh guy who struggles to find shorts that fit well without cutting off circulation, these shorts are perfection. The length, the fit, the style, the inner pockets for small items… TENS!"

— Ronnie (5/5)

Excellent quality, perfect short 2”

"Excellent quality, perfect short 2” length, plenty deep pockets including a secure zipped pocket. Great elastic waistband and belt loops. Bought one, then ordered three more in different colours. Also had to pay import duty but well worth it."

Thought these were the same

"Thought these were the same as the Alcove Greens and the Alpine Skies. Might want to order a size bigger with these shorts compared to the other ones. Would love to have seen how the XL fits instead of the L"

The best every day shorts

"I LOVE the way these shorts look. Th washed blue color is perfect and I love the way these shorts fit my bigger thighs, they’re very comfortable. I’m a big fan of the 7inch inseam as well, it feels like I’m showing off a good amount of my leg."
