Packable Travel Shorts
Samples in hand · V2Quick-dry shorts that roll into their own back pocket.
The spec I sent the factory: anti-bacterial quick-dry fabric as thin as swim trunks, two indented zippered side pockets, and one centered back pocket with a double-sided zipper so the shorts pack into themselves. Elastic waistband with a no-show drawstring, elastic belt hooks, a printed tag instead of a sewn one, and an inner hook for hanging. Black, 9-inch inseam. Two sample rounds came back. V2 fixed the waistband, the drawstrings and the belt loops, and I measured every pocket against the shorts I actually travel with.
