The story behind Djab by Simons

• Djab is part of the 70% of Simons' product assortment that is exclusive to the retailer, developed and designed by the in-house team in Quebec City — meaning the brand's aesthetic and quality standards are directly controlled by a storied Canadian retailer rather than a third-party label, and it cannot be found anywhere else.
• The Djab trademark filing covers an unusually wide range of men's categories — from snowboard glasses and skateboards to belts, bags, and full clothing — indicating that the brand is conceived as a comprehensive men's lifestyle label rather than a narrow denim or basics line, which gives each piece a connected identity within a larger curated world.
• Simons has been creating its own fashion labels since the 1960s, launching Twik, Contemporaine, and the menswear line Le 31 — Djab continues this tradition of private-label development with a focus on contemporary men's style, drawing on decades of institutional design knowledge.

How this jort compares on price and quality

• The jort carries an EIM score of 25, a measurable rating that certifies low environmental impact from its wash and treatment processes — a level of process transparency not common in affordable baggy denim shorts, giving the Djab a credible eco story beyond just material claims.
• While many affordable baggy jorts rely on conventional 100% cotton — Victorious's Summit Baggy Denim Shorts, for example, use 13 oz non-stretch cotton without organic credentials — the Djab uses an organic cotton blend, adding a dimension of agricultural sustainability that often comes with a higher price tag.
• At its sale price of CAD $49.95, this Djab jort comes in roughly 40% less than Levi's Super Baggy Denim Jort (USD $80), despite sharing a non-stretch denim construction and below-the-knee baggy silhouette — and it additionally provides an organic cotton blend and a documented EIM low-impact wash score of 25, characteristics the Levi's listing does not mention.
• With a 15-inch inseam that lands below the knee, this Djab jort is significantly longer than many baggy denim shorts — Cotton On's Baggy Denim Short, for example, uses a 27 cm (10.6-inch) inseam — making it a truer execution of the below-the-knee jort silhouette that dominates current streetwear.

Styling the baggy jort trend

• A 15-inch inseam places these jorts deliberately past the knee, anchoring them in the long-shorts revival that Vogue identified as a 2024 summer staple after a 2023 inflection point pushed by Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, and Kendall Jenner; for the wearer, this length codes the shorts as part of the slouchy, modern baggy movement rather than a safer mid-knee Bermuda, delivering the exaggerated proportion that separates current jorts from generic denim shorts.
• The baggy silhouette sits at the intersection of two 1990s subcultures: New York hip-hop acts like Ol' Dirty Bastard and Killah Priest adopted oversized jorts as a uniform, while skateboarders valued the roomy cut for unrestricted movement — choosing this Djab pair consciously taps into that heritage, a lineage that luxury houses including Givenchy, Marine Serre, and Louis Vuitton have drawn from in their own recent jort releases.
• British GQ's styling rule for menswear — the rule of thirds — dictates that a below-knee jort requires a cropped or boxy top to slice the body into balanced zones; pairing these 15-inch shorts with a cropped knitted vest, a tucked-in shirt, or a boxy tee avoids the shapeless 'drowning' effect that Esquire warns against when both halves are equally oversized.
• Long jorts became the unofficial uniform of Charli XCX's Brat summer in 2024, cementing the silhouette's transition from dad-joke garment to slacker-cool status symbol; wearing these 15-inch jorts places the buyer inside that cultural moment, one that saw the length embraced by Justin Bieber (in Bottega Veneta) and Dua Lipa, giving a pair of baggy denim shorts a level of pop-culture relevance that transcends the fabric.
• True to the 1992 Gotcha Sportswear era, when Laguna Beach skaters with 30-inch waists routinely bought 38-inch shorts so the denim would fall below the knee in an ultra-baggy droop, DJAB's non-stretch organic cotton allows that same intentional oversizing without distortion — sizing up today channels the same anti-fit attitude that defined the original baggy-jort movement and reads as authentic streetwear styling rather than poor fit.
• The washed-out blue finish aligns with vintage skate style — American Eagle's guide pairs light-wash jorts with graphic tees and sneakers for an effortless '90s nod — while Esquire endorses a denim-on-denim approach: grabbing a jacket in a similar wash, as actor Ncuti Gatwa demonstrated, creates a cohesive, fashion-forward summer uniform that elevates the jort from basic backyard short to considered look.
• With a 15-inch inseam, footwear becomes a pivotal styling lever: a boot with a subtle heel or a slim-profile sneaker prevents the lower half from truncating, a point Esquire reinforces by featuring Colman Domingo's wide, long jorts paired with heeled boots — the slight lift changes the leg line, making this a non-negotiable for anyone under 6 feet wearing baggy below-knee denim.

Durability and feel of organic cotton denim

• As a non-stretch cotton blend, these jorts deliver the inherent breathability of all-cotton denim—the same property that kept early workwear jeans cool in mines—so they stay wearable on hot days without trapping heat, a comfort advantage that also reduces the urge to over-wash and incidentally extends the fabric’s intact lifespan.
• Unlike stretch denim that relies on elastane which fatigues and permanently stretches out, non-stretch cotton denim conforms to the wearer over time and develops a unique patina of creases and fading, creating a personalized fit and aesthetic that improves with age rather than losing shape.
• Organic cotton grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers produces longer, stronger staple fibers because the natural growth cycle avoids chemical stress, which means the denim resists thinning and tearing better over years of wear compared to chemically grown conventional cotton of equivalent weight.
