Inside the Tritones: tile print, cotton and a quiet cut

Tritones · The Print Swims

Oct 31, 2026·

The Tritones is a straightforward idea: a cotton short in tile print. No logo, no unnecessary seams, nothing that dates quickly.

Care

Thirty degrees, mild detergent, no fabric softener. The latter coats the fibres and dulls tile print over time.

Fabric

Look closely and the weave is even. cotton of this quality keeps its shape after repeated washing, which is where most shorts fail.

How to wear it

Wear it with a white tee and sneakers for the weekend, or a shirt and knit for something more considered.

Fit

The shape is familiar and that is deliberate. It reads as a short you have owned for years, not one bought last week.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Consider it if you want cotton without the price of a designer label, and a cut that will not look dated in two years.
