There is a version of this short in every shop. What separates the Cap Ferrats is the cloth: cotton, dyed a muted tone, and finished without shortcuts.
How to wear it
It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes a muted tone rather than contrasts with it.
Care
Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.
Fabric
The cloth is cotton. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.
Fit
Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
In short: a cotton short that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
