Product Insights

These heavy-weight linen shorts balance architectural drape and breathability with a hybrid waistband that combines a zip fly and elastic back to prevent blouson and allow movement, but heavy front pockets cause sagging and distort the wide-leg silhouette; they offer a higher rise and longer inseam than Quince, along with four large patch pockets, a fully opaque white lining-free construction, and certified European flax that softens with age.

Verified claims

Hybrid waistband
Zip fly + elastic back prevents blouson and anchors front, while stretching for movement
Opacity
White shorts are fully opaque without a lining.
Drape
The heavy weave holds the wide-leg cut in architectural folds that remain after washing.
Breathability
Heavy-weight linen remains breathable and quick-drying in summer heat.
Care
Cold wash, skip softener, air-dry; linen softens with age; avoid heavy pocket loads.
Certification
100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen guarantees European origin, field retting, and Bureau Veritas chain-of-custody.
Pocket load
Heavy items in front pockets cause sagging and distort the wide-leg silhouette.
Fit
12-inch rise and 5.25-inch inseam exceed Quince's by 1 and 0.25 inches.
Waist construction
Zip fly with back elastic and belt loops; Quince has only pull-on elastic.
Pockets
Four large patch pockets replace Quince's side-seam pockets.

Nice summer shorts

Kathryn I.

I'm always looking for more linen and other light fabrics to wear in the summer. These fit nicely, and I love the colour.

Beautiful short

Joan L.

Love the weight, love the colour, love the pockets. Will be perfect for an upcoming trip.

Très beau lin et belle coupe

Liliane G.

Je suis une fanne finie de lin et de fibres naturelles en générale. J'adore ces short, belle couleur, belle coupe, belle finition. Une seule chose m'empêche de mettre 5 étoile, l'élastique n'offre pas beaucoup d'élasticité à la taille que je trouve un peu trop serrée à mon goût. J'ai dû y apporter des changements.

Belle qualité

Adeline S.

Beau tissus, belle couleur j'avais pris 2 tailles et gardé la plus petite.

Short en lin

Très belle, taille trop haute pour moi,retourner.

Linen short

paul p.

Wanted linen brown shorts. These are a perfect fit and length to feel a little more dressed up wearing shorts.

Nice material but fit not right

Charlotte f.

Too wide in the legs for me, and too long or a flare out that was not right for me. 5’7 130 lbs

La longueur et la coupe avantagent ceux qui ont des hanches et cuisses plus arrondies.

I have a few pairs of this short in different colours - a lovely addition to a summer wardrobe

Très beau short!

Guest

Couleur framboise originale, belle qualité de lin, élastique à l’arrière pour plus de confort à la taille et des poches profondes. J’adore! *J’ai pris une taille au-dessus de ma taille habituelle

Perfect shorts

Robyn V.

These shorts are a great length, lovely fabric and the perfect fit.

Comfortable and cute

Lisa S.

Comfortable but look polished. Keeps its shape and washes well (cold hang to dry)

J'apprécie le lin pour l'été

Liane L.

Belle couleur et belle coupe. Par contre fait plus petit et légèrement plus court que les autres shorts en lin que j'ai achetés même si j'ai pris la même taille.

light weight good quality

Jayne B.

they fit smaller

Super beau

Guylaine R.

J'aime ces vêtements de qualité supérieure !

Nice shorts

Lisa K.

I tried both the 8 and the 10. I was going to go with the 8 but I googled whether linen shrinks and it said they could shrink up to 10 percent so I went with the 10. They are a modest length and could be dressed up or down.
