I know some people that don’t own any shorts. That’s another way of saying I know some people that don’t make a point to go on vacation. Or, that I know some people that pointlessly tough it out on the hotter days. Either way you shake that spear, those are people that haven’t figured out how to live. Comfort aside, shorts have a way of putting a person into a R&R state of mind that’s good for the constitution, especially when you’ve traveled towards the sun and found a beach, or a BBQ, or park along the way. Shorts just don’t get enough credit.

Unis, well known for their popular range of chinos, have done the sensible thing for a pant-maker and simply lopped their Gio chino off below the thigh. Born from this surgery is the Emmett short, with the same fit in the top block as the Gio and made from the same 100% cotton twill fabric as well. Durable enough for all those adventures you should be taking, without the heavy weight you would associate with tougher textiles.
