The goal of these shorts was clear: how can we create a stretchy, breathable fabric without the need for elastane or any other synthetic yarn? To achieve this, we came up with a diagonal terry construction that enhances stretch while maintaining stability. We have tweaked the weight to balance a lightweight feeling with durability. The shorts feature two pockets, one of which has a hidden zipper. This zipper is also the only part of the shorts that currently can't be made without plastic. From the sewing yarns to the elastic waistband, everything else is plastic-free. These 5 inch inseam shorts have a comfortable, regular fit with side slits to accommodate all movements that your workout demands. The color we picked for this first edition is charcoal black, right between dark grey and black, making it ideal to match with the other hues in the Boldwill collection. We have added minimal prints on both the front and back, and reinforced areas throughout the design to make the shorts as durable as possible.
