Product Insights
The Elastic Waist Linen-Cotton Bermuda Shorts from Contemporaine deliver a tailored trouser look through a front pintuck and trompe-l'oeil pockets, while the elastic waistband ensures comfort. Crafted from a 55% organic linen, 45% cotton twill, they are breathable, opaque, and wrinkle-resistant, with a high rise and 13-inch inseam that visually elongate legs and flatter pear and inverted triangle shapes. The main tradeoff is decorative back pockets (faux-buttoned) versus functional side slant pockets that hold a smartphone. At $49.95 CAD, they undercut alternatives from Maje and Banana Republic by more than half, and a matching blazer is available for a polished suit.
Verified claims
- Waistband fit
- Elastic waistband has ample give; size down for a snugger fit without losing elasticity.
- Rise

- Leg fit
- 13-inch inseam and wide-leg cut flatter pear and inverted triangle shapes, lengthening legs.
- Styling fit
- Tuck in a top to show the high rise and avoid a boxy silhouette.
- Lengthening effect
- 13-inch inseam, 11-inch front rise, and front pintuck visually lengthen legs.
- Body shape fit

- Styling tip
- Tuck in a top to show the high rise and avoid a boxy silhouette.
- Breathability
- 55% organic linen's moisture-wicking, the twill cut's anti-cling flare, and the tight weave's opacity keep the wearer cool and dry.
- Wrinkle resistance
- 45% cotton reduces linen's wrinkle tendency.
- Durability and care
- Twill weave's pilling resistance and recommended cold-gentle wash care keep shorts durable and breathable through many washes.
- Tailored design

- Versatility
- Matching blazer and tucked tops offer two polished styling paths.
- Value
- At $49.95 CAD, costs less than half of Maje and Banana Republic alternatives.

- 55% organic linen/45% cotton — higher natural fiber content than comparable shorts.
- Design details

- Design & origin
- Exclusive Simons in-house label designed in Canada by a 50-person team.
- Back pockets
- Faux-buttoned back pockets eliminate hardware wear and snagging risks.
- Care instructions
- Machine wash cold and hang dry to minimize shrinkage and preserve fit.
- Shrinkage
- Cold gentle wash and hang drying prevent shrinkage.

- Pocket storage
- Side slant pockets hold a smartphone; back pockets are decorative.
- Pocket durability
- Pockets resist stretching and sagging after repeated washing.
- Opacity
- The tight twill weave is opaque, preventing see-through even in bright light.

- Full-length pintuck adds a tailored vertical line that visually lengthens the leg.

Love the fit and colour

Bermuda taille élastique lin coton
Trop petit de la taille
Belle qualité
La finition du vêtement est impeccable
Bermuda versatile
Un excellent achat! Le mélange des textiles lin coton, lui donne une belle allure, sans se froisser rapidement. La longueur est parfaite
Fits large but kept anyway
Have a small waist but wide hips with a bit of a pot belly so always buy size large. These were too large but medium would have been too small.

La surpiqûre du devant ne me convient pas. J'irai me faire rembourser.

Nice colour but material was heavier than expected for a linen blend. Also ordered the jacket which was too long for me. Both pieces were returned.
