Model update 2022: all new shorts have a reduced inseam length of 23 cm / 9," and the black ones have switched to a heavier fabric. The old models have the inseam indicated next to the waist size, and the new versions are phased in size by size.
  • No-nonsense classic model
  • High waist
  • Zipper fly
  • Fabric
  • Blue fabric: Cotton 98.7%; Elastane 1.3%; weight 390 g/m2 (11.5 oz)
  • Black fabric: Cotton 99%; Elastane 1%; weight 458 g/m2 (13.5 oz)
  • Black fabric w. 36 cm / 15" inseam: Cotton 98%; Elastane 2%; weight 322 g/m2 (9.5 oz)

In short, these are what jeans are supposed to be but in a short form: durable, comfortable, and clean. These fit even if you're not a slim-legged hipster who hangs his trousers halfway down, and there definitely is no stone washing or ready-made holes!

Then there's the price too. These are good quality jeans shorts, made in Finland/Estonia. A good pair of denim shorts don't need to cost hundreds of bucks.

These have what is nowadays called a high waist, which is not high at all if you're seen military surplus. The waist ends just below the navel, and the leg ends well above the knee. Zipper fly and six belt loops - the loops are large enough for wide belts too.

Proper material

The problem with jeans is that if it's not "slim fit", it's made of some pre-washed or pre-torn crap. That is not the case with these! These actually look like a pair of new jeans shorts with a nice indigo shade. The only treatment these have had is the removal of starch, and that's it. This means they're also pre-shrunk, so you don't have to worry about that either.

The blue fabric is Cotton 98.7%; Elastane 1.3%; weight 390 g/m2 (11.5 oz)
Black fabric: Cotton 79%; Organic Cotton 20%; Elastane 1%; weight 458 g/m2 (13.5 oz)

These are very comfortable and pretty hard-wearing. The metal parts on these are nickel-free, and the black fabric has a Stay Black treatment.

Size info

Sizes in normal jeans sizes, but with no different lengths, the leg inseam is 23 cm (9") in every size. If you already know your jeans size, it's probably the same with these too.

The cut on these is just a tad roomy. The manufacturer states that there's probably two different sizes that fit you:

  • Measure your hip circumference from the widest point and look at our size chart.
  • A) Regular fit - pick a size with the same hip circumference as yours.
  • B) Tight fit - pick a size with hip circumference a notch smaller than yours.

Our model normally wears size 36", but here he's sporting a pair of 34" jeans.

Below you can find a size chart with the actual measurements. These are pre-shrunk so they won't get any tighter.

Erinomaiset fakkushortist, olleet käytössä kaksi kesää, enkä ole löytänyt mitään valittamista. Shortseissa ei näy kahden vuoden, melko aktiivisen käytön jälkeen, kulumisen merkkejä eikä värikään ole (ainakaan huomattavasti) haalistunut. Elastaaniakin on just sopivasti, ei kinaa missään vaiheessa mistään. Kaiken kaikkiaan siis loistotuote, ostais jo!

Aivan helekatin hyvät pöksyt. Ei ahista tai purista mistään. Kangas antaa jonkin verran myöten niin normin 34" sijasta 33" istuu oikein hyvin.
Seuraavan kerran kun tilaan tavaraa, niin ostan toiset, että on koko kesäksi pöksyt. Sen verran siistit, että setämies kehtaa olla ihmistenkin kanssa tekemisissä nämä jalassa.
Vieläkö sais taktisiin farkkuihin pohjautuvan version!

Hyvä leikkaus ja materiaalit.

Suurin miinus, että vähän paksuhkot ja tukalahkot shortseiksi.

Mustat shortsit, laadukkaan oloista materiaalia, todella mukavan tuntuiset päällä, juuri oikean kokoiset 35", kun farkuissakin olen 34" ja 36" väliltä ja just sopivan pituiset, vähän polven yli. Olen todella tyytyväinen näihin, kesää odotellessa B)

Jep. Jep. Nyt on kyllä niin mukavat shortsit, ettei paremmalla väliä. Nämä ovat oikea löytö.

Erinomaiset farkkushortsit, pitäkää näitä valikoimassa pitkään, siis pysyvästi, pliis. Mustina nämä on brändinsä mukaisesti helvetin särmän näköiset, siniset vielä toistaiseksi ostamatta.

Ainut "miinuspuoli" on se että shortsit on niin pitkät, että lahkeita saa kääriä turhan paljon/paksusti/leveästi että niiden alareuna on ns. oikealla korkeudella, joka siis on polven yläpuolella! Useimpien kuvien mukaisesti 3/4 -housuina käytettynä nää on kyllä melko nolot, ellei satu olemaan yli 60-v naisihminen. Mutta on nää muuten niin hyvät ettei voi pisteitä vähentää (ja pitkäjalkaisille varmasti mainiot), eli joko sitä meikäläinen tottuu käärittyihin lahkeisiin tai sitten pitää opetella lyhentämään itse. 5/5

Slightly disappointed because mine came with a slight defect.
There is a little hole close to the fly and the stitching on the fly is coming undone.
Otherwise the cut, fit and materials are perfect.
