Japan has a way of taking materials you think may not work outside the gym and infusing them with a more natural style. The result is a fabric with technical DNA that is also extremely versatile. Today's example is a true surprise in the best sense. Japan starts with 100% nylon. You immediately fear a plastic look but the classic twill weave, soft feel and matt color finish give this style one of the most natural appearances we've seen in a full nylon fabric. Nylon gives you technical bonuses - water repellency, odor resistance, and easy care. The true star - insane movement. This is a 4 way stretch. It simply yields in every direction. This is a style you can get so much use out of and that's what we love most about it.

Chino shorts are a must have, that's why they've become one of our most popular warm weather styles over the last few years. Now we're taking the style one step further to make them even easier to love. The big change - a drawstring elastic waistband. Sounds simple, but the transformation in wearability and comfort is huge. We start in classic form by making one more refinement in fit to absolutely dial it in while retaining all the classic details from the slash front pockets, single back pocket with button closure and clean lines. These are the elements that make the style so versatile - casual or slightly more formal depending on what you pair it with. The waistband is finished with a thick inset elastic, plush cotton drawstring, and beautiful herringbone liner. Instant on, instant fit. They stay put with no thought and the movement in the waist means pure comfort whether you're sitting, walking or standing. Simple, classic style made even better.

We're really excited to do all this in the USA at a value that's equally refreshing. Enjoy these.
