Product Insights
Djab's 6" Chino Short Loose Fit offers a contemporary casual silhouette with a mid-thigh 6-inch inseam and wider thighs for free movement, crafted from a stretch cotton twill blend of 98% reprocessed cotton and 2% elastane with a brushed finish that feels softer than typical soft-washed twill, providing all-day comfort and moderate breathability suitable for spring, summer, and early fall, while the elastane reduces shrinkage and keeps the fit true after cold wash and air drying, and at a sale price of $49.95 it undercuts premium 6–7 inch shorts by over half, underpinned by Simons-exclusive design in Canada with undisclosed manufacturing.
