Easy Shorts everywhere and the elasticated waistband takeover is well and truly complete. But you don’t want mall-store easy shorts, no, you want uncompromising quality from a Japanese denim authority like Iron Heart. Enter the IH-729 Cotton Easy short.

Constructed in the brand’s homeland from a robust 100% cotton twill, treated with a special dyeing process that gives the short that laid back, aged look from the jump. Sitting just above the knee, the IH-729 is on the right side short without hot-pants territory. The key is in the name. Easy to throw on and Easy to look fantastic with just about anything. Pair them with a loopwheeled t-shirt and Birkenstocks on a hot summer’s day, or rock ’em with a hoody on those days where the weather just can’t make its mind up.

Available for $165 from Iron Heart
