Men's cotton shorts, and three other fabrics
Most of our men's shorts are 100% organic cotton — boxer shorts and everyday shorts both. The rest are made with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers, 88% recycled nylon, or a 50% recycled polyester blend.
Boxer shorts or shorts?
Boxer shorts are the loose-cut pair you sleep and lounge in; the shorts are cut to wear out. Both are in the same cotton, so the difference is the cut and the waistband rather than the fabric.
The cotton shorts
The Weekend Shorts are the relaxed pair in 100% organic cotton. The Easy Boxer Shorts and the Core Icon Boxer Shorts are the lounging pairs, the Core Icon sold as a two-pack, both with an elasticated waistband. If you want cotton shorts for men with nothing else in the fabric, those three are it.
The other three fabrics
The Premium Shorts are made with TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers and elastane, cut relaxed — the lounge pair rather than the outdoor one. The Track Shorts are a 50% recycled polyester blend with cotton, cut sportier. There is also a pair in 88% recycled nylon.
What goes with them
For a longer leg, our men’s joggers are the full-length version. Underneath, our men’s underwear collection covers the trunks and briefs, and everything we make for men is on all men’s products. Our material guide explains how we choose fabrics.
Sizes and washing
Nearly every style comes in S to XXL, and some also come in XXS, XS or XXXL. Machine wash cold and hang to dry rather than tumble drying.
