A short does not need to be complicated to be useful. The Defenders proves it — cotton, grey green, and a cut that stays out of the way.
Fabric
The fabric is cotton with a slight texture. Under daylight it reads grey green; indoors it goes a shade deeper, which is typical of good dyeing.
Care
Wash with similar tones for the first few cycles. cotton can release a little dye; after that it settles.
How to wear it
Pair it simply. A knit polo and suede shoes is enough. Avoid a second pattern — the Defenders looks best when everything else is calm.
Fit
The cut is regular. Room through the thigh, a straight fall, relaxed without looking oversized. Between sizes, take the smaller one.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
Simple, well made, easy to live with. That is the whole argument.
