Size Chart — Pure Linen Shorts

Elastic waist with drawstring — fits a range within each size. Between sizes? Size up for a relaxed, breathable feel.

The shorts that actually survive a summer.

Most linen shorts go transparent after three washes, the drawstring gives up by week two, and the pockets can't hold a phone without sagging. These aren't those.

The Calypso Shorts are cut from the same premium linen as our shirts — a weight that's cool enough for 35°C but substantial enough to stay opaque wash after wash. Elastic waist with a drawstring that actually stays tied. Pockets deep enough to hold what you need.

Why men keep reordering them:

  • Cool in real heat — the linen weave pulls heat away from your body, so you can wear them all day without sticking
  • Stay opaque, wash after wash — premium weight linen that doesn't turn see-through once it's been laundered
  • Fit that doesn't fight you — elastic waist with a drawstring that holds, cut to sit right mid-thigh. Not too short, not down to the knee
  • Softens with every wear — the linen actually looks better after a few wears than it did on day one

One pair. Endless combinations. Wear them to the beach, to lunch, to evening drinks — no one will guess they're the same shorts.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Heavier linen weave — stays opaque after washing, unlike the thin linen most brands use
  • Drawstring that stays tied — real woven cord, not the slippery flat ribbon that comes undone by noon
  • Functional pockets — deep enough to hold a phone and wallet without sagging
  • Reinforced seams at stress points — built to survive a full summer, not just a holiday

No. This is the #1 issue with cheap linen shorts, and we designed ours specifically to avoid it.

We use a heavier linen weave than most DTC brands, so the fabric stays fully opaque — even after multiple washes, even in bright sun. Lighter colors may show a very subtle weave texture up close, but never skin or underwear.

The elastic waist with drawstring fits a range within each size, so you have some flexibility. Check the size chart above to match your waist measurement.

If you're between sizes, size up. Linen is naturally fitted and doesn't stretch — a relaxed fit is always more comfortable than a tight one, especially in heat.

They sit just above the knee — long enough to look intentional and relaxed, short enough to breathe in real heat.

Not the thigh-high European cut, not the baggy down-to-the-calf style. Cut to work for men in their 20s through their 50s, for the beach and for a summer dinner.

No. The linen is pre-washed for a soft, lived-in feel from the very first wear.

It gets even softer after a few washes — unlike cheap linen that stays stiff or starts pilling. The waistband is lined for comfort against the skin.

A little — and that's the point. Linen's relaxed texture is part of what makes it look intentional rather than overdressed.

These aren't shorts you need to iron. The natural creases hang well and smooth out after a few minutes of wear.

These are designed as everyday summer shorts, not swim trunks. They have no mesh lining and the linen takes time to dry.

That said, they handle pool sides, beach walks, and the occasional splash perfectly. For actual swimming, wear swim shorts and change back into these for lunch.

Yes — they're machine washable. For best results, wash cold and air dry.

Avoid high-heat drying and you'll get years of wear out of them. Minimal shrinkage if cared for properly.

Both. This is what makes linen shorts such a versatile summer staple:

  • Pair with a tee and sandals for the beach or a walk in town
  • Dress them up with a linen shirt and loafers for a rooftop dinner or a summer wedding abroad

Yes, we ship worldwide to 65+ countries. Shipping fees apply and are calculated at checkout.

Exploring a new style should feel easy, not risky.

What our customers say

★★★★★

"Packed these for a week in Greece. Beach, dinners, walking around town in 32°C — they handled everything. The drawstring actually stays tied and the pockets are deep enough for a phone without sagging."

★★★★★

"I've bought cheap linen shorts before that turned see-through after one wash. These don't. The weight feels right — substantial but still cool. Fit is spot-on, not too short and not down-to-the-knee either."

★★★★★

"Ordered a size up based on the note in the size chart and glad I did — fits perfectly relaxed. Wore them straight from the beach to lunch without changing. The linen actually looks better once it's lived in a bit."
