Rumored's Micro Short in Manchester Plaid is a tailored short that straddles the line between vintage and contemporary with ease—yarn-dye felted plaid construction that reads authentic rather than costume-like, mid-rise with a zip fly, tab waistband, and functional welt pockets. The micro fit is deliberately proportioned to balance the structured plaid pattern, and the belt loops add versatility. The Manchester Plaid pattern has the weight and authenticity of something properly woven rather than printed, suggesting a piece with character and longevity that will improve with wear. Made from 100% polyester in a yarn-dye felted plaid, the Micro Short features a zip fly, faux placket with button detailing, and the kind of construction that suggests intentional design and quality craftsmanship. The micro fit works beautifully with oversized tops, allowing the proportions to speak for themselves. Machine wash cold with like colors; tumble dry and cool iron if needed. $148.
