There is a reason corduroy keeps coming back. It brings texture where a plain cotton short has none, and a heavy enzyme wash means this pair arrives already soft and lived in, none of the stiffness to wear out yourself. A relaxed leg and elasticated drawcord waist do the rest, so they sit easy through a long lunch or a drive down the coast. Mocha sits warmer than a grey and softer than a black, so it carries a morning at the beach through to dinner without a change.
