Billy Canvas Shorts8 oz / 100% cotton
Trusty summertime shorts for days in the rays. Built from soft but seriously tough sanded canvas that can take a knock and just keep going. Beautiful hand feel that’s peachy to touch. Roomy pockets, button fly. Everything you expect from our trousers, just cut above the knee. Cut and sewn to our pattern in Leicester for this summer and the others that follow.
In Production – Arriving end of May
Reserve your pair before they’ve even landed in our warehouse. We expect to ship all Billy Shorts at the end of May. Note that reserved styles and preorders cannot be purchased with stock items – please place a separate order for these.
