Oh, the sweet sweet sound of Velcro-closure boardies. Nothing takes us back to an early-’90s beach quite like it.
The Elis Shorts are inspired by the fitted boardshorts we remember from that era — high on the waist, contrast piping, colour blocking and that unmistakable Velcro-and-snap closure. We’ve reworked them in 100% lightweight cotton canvas, swapping the usual synthetic fabric for something breathable, natural and made to soften beautifully with wear.
Three tones of blue are pieced together with crisp white piping. The cotton canvas has enough structure to hold the shape of the short without feeling stiff, and becomes softer and more lived-in the more you wear it.
Wear them fitted and high-waisted in your regular size, or size up one if you prefer them sitting lower and a little looser on the hips.

Fabrication
100% Cotton Lightweight Canvas
We chose cotton for its breathability, durability and natural feel. It won’t dry as quickly as a synthetic boardshort fabric, but it feels comfortable against the skin, holds its shape well and softens over time without losing its strength.
