Product Insights
Projek Raw's Houndstooth-Like Knit Bermudas ($69, on sale for $49.95) deliver a durable knit-in pattern that resists cracking and fading, while a three-point waist closure and pocketless design create a clean, uninterrupted silhouette. The true-to-size waist with flat front adjustability suits untucked wear, but the 58% cotton, 22% linen, 20% polyester blend requires cold machine washing and hang drying to prevent shrinkage.

Deep Research
Value compared to similar bermuda shorts
- Linen is a costlier fiber due to labor-intensive cultivation, so its presence with cotton and polyester in a sub-$50 short means the buyer gets the breathability and texture of linen without the premium that 100% linen or high-linen-content garments usually demand.
- The original $69 CAD already placed these in the same bracket as entry-level linen-blend shorts from mass-market brands; the 28% markdown to $49.95 removes the price premium for the upgraded fabrication, making the material upgrade essentially cost-free.
- Projek Raw is produced under Simons' in-house Le 31 program, which bypasses the wholesale markups that independent brands add, allowing the retailer to offer design features like a woven-in motif and linen blend at a direct-to-consumer price point.
- The houndstooth motif is part of the knit structure, not a surface print, which makes it resistant to cracking or fading through wash cycles — a durability advantage that extends the garment's life compared to the printed patterns common on shorts at this price.
- An elastic waist with both a drawstring and a functioning button closure provides a flat, tailored front when untucked — a three-point adjustability detail typically absent from budget elastic-waist shorts, giving these a more polished silhouette.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the waist sizing run compared to standard US sizing? Is the elastic waistband true to size or does it run smaller/larger?
- The waist sizing aligns with standard US waist measurements. For example, size 30 corresponds to a 30-31 inch waist, so true to size. The elastic drawstring waist also allows for slight adjustment.
- What are the recommended care instructions? Can it be machine washed and dried, or does it require special care?
- For best care, we recommend machine washing cold on a gentle cycle and hanging to dry. The fabric is a cotton-polyester-linen blend, which is durable but may shrink if exposed to high heat.
- Does this style have any pockets? If so, are they side pockets, back pockets, or both?
- This style does not have pockets. The design features only an adjustable elastic drawstring waist with a button.
- Is the houndstooth pattern printed or woven into the fabric? How does the pattern look up close—is it subtle or bold?
- The houndstooth pattern is woven into the knit fabric, not printed. The 'Houndstooth-like knit' description indicates the pattern is created by the knit structure. Up close, the pattern is typically subtle and integrated into the fabric texture.
