Drawstring Short — Deep Teal in Deep Teal — front view, OPTIMISM. LATE FALL

Product Story+

A deep teal short with an elastic drawstring waist, side pockets and a white OPTIMISM. mark at the hem.

Materials+

Made in small runs and checked against the house standard — seam, print placement, hardware and label — before it is packed and sent. We describe the cloth as it is; weight and handfeel are what you will receive.

Care & Keeping+

Made to be worn, not preserved. Cared for as directed below, will hold its color, hand and line over time.

Wash less than you think. Airing between wears keeps the garment newer than laundering it does.

Construction+

Elastic drawstring waistband
Side pockets
Split side hems
White OPTIMISM. hem mark

Fit, US Sizing & Measurements+

Relaxed Fit

TightFittedTrueRelaxedOversized

Easy through the body with room to move. Not tight anywhere.

Relaxed fit with an elastic drawstring waist and side-split hems.

Take your usual size. Size down only if you prefer a trim silhouette.

We would rather you order once. The first chart is your body; the second is the garment laid flat. Both are stated to the half inch and can vary a little from piece to piece, as cut cloth does. If you are unsure, write to us with your measurements and we will tell you plainly which size to take.

Questions+

How should I size this piece?: US standard sizing. Take your usual size. Size down only if you prefer a trim silhouette. Relaxed fit with an elastic drawstring waist and side-split hems. The charts above give your body measurements and the garment laid flat, both to the half inch.
Will the color or wash change over time?: Washed and dyed pieces settle with wear. Follow the care notes and the change stays even — that softening is part of the garment, not a fault.
When will it arrive?: Checked against the house standard before dispatch. Sent within 5–7 business days. Flat USD 7 domestic shipping, 5–10 business days after dispatch. International arranged on request.
Can I return or exchange it?: 30 days to return unworn pieces with tags attached.
Will this be made again?: Runs are small and finite. When a piece closes, it is held in the record rather than reproduced.
