Smirks Rounded Shorts

The fabric is genuinely soft from the first wear, thanks to that garment-washed cotton. I’ve washed them three times already and the fit hasn’t changed at all, which is rare for shorts.

These shorts feel just like my favorite worn-in sweatpants right out of the bag, and the French terry cotton is surprisingly breathable. The elastic waistband with drawstring makes them easy to adjust, and they’ve held their shape perfectly after a few washes.

The adjustable drawstring actually works, so I can dial in the fit without the waistband bunching up. The French terry cotton is pre-washed, and it shows—zero stiffness right out of the package, just a soft, relaxed drape. Only nitpick is the length runs a touch longer than I expected, but that’s on
