Blue / S Low Stock

A high-waist denim short in 95% cotton and 5% spandex, washed to a medium-light blue with heavy fraying and distressing concentrated at the raw hem. The fraying spans the full hem width and is significant enough to be the defining construction detail of the piece - this isn't a surface finish, it's the silhouette. The longer short length sits above the knee, giving a more covered cut than a traditional cutoff while keeping the overall proportion clean. Available in Blue in sizes S through XL.

Material: 95% Cotton, 5% Spandex - genuine cotton weight with a controlled amount of stretch built in for ease of movement
Hem Detail: Heavy fraying runs the full width of the raw hem, with distress breaking through the lower leg opening near the hem edge
High Waist: Sits at the natural waist with a clean, structured waistband - no roll, no gape
Wash: Medium light blue washed finish - surface variation that reads worn-in without looking worn out
Pockets: Pocketed construction (image-inferred) - functional side pockets
Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low - easy maintenance

Material Composition

This short is 95% cotton with 5% spandex. Cotton at this concentration is the primary structural fiber - it provides the weight, texture, and durability associated with traditional denim construction. The 5% spandex introduces a controlled amount of stretch that allows the fit to ease through the seat and thigh without compromising the overall structure. At this fiber ratio, the cotton's properties dominate entirely: the fabric behaves as denim, with stretch as a secondary quality that becomes most apparent at points of movement rather than in the overall hand of the fabric. The washed finish gives the cotton its medium-light blue color and a softened surface.

Construction Details

High-waist cut with button-and-zip fly closure (image-inferred) and belt loops along the waistband. Standard 5-pocket construction (image-inferred) with side slash pockets and back pockets. The most prominent construction detail is the raw hem - the full hem width carries a heavy fray, and distressing extends upward through the lower leg opening near the hem edge. A washed finish with whisker fading runs diagonally across the front thighs. The length sits above the knee in the longer range for denim shorts, providing a more substantial coverage than a classic cutoff silhouette.

Fabric Behavior

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low. Cold washing maintains the dyed wash finish and prevents the blue from fading prematurely. Low-heat drying reduces shrinkage risk and protects the spandex content over repeated wash cycles - high heat degrades spandex over time, which can cause the waistband to lose its recovery.
