Military Cord Field Short

A hardworking fabric used by cavalry and mountain climbers alike, cotton Japanese military cord mixes durability with breathability. We developed a design with front and back panels for added strength, and such details as an easily rollable cuff that lets you set the length of the 9” inseam — making this far more than a typical summer short. We like to think of it as a clothing equivalent to a tool.
