Name: Supershorts Mens
SKU: 588836

Supershorts - our original “free standing” shorts. Supershorts are constructed with our tough, comfortable C-Canvas. Not the cheapest material in the world but we’re yet to find a better material – its combination of durability and breathable comfort is what makes these shorts possible.

Antelope, Black and Olive are all made from our new Premium C-Canvas, a durabe 12oz canvas with a softer finish.

These will end up being possibly the most comfortable shorts you own - and they’ll stay that way for a long, long time; truly shorts that wear in, not out. If you need proof of the comfort and durability, James chose them for a 18,000km bicycle ride around the globe. We’ve got them framed up on the wall of fame here at Cactus HQ.

Care

Essentially, Canvas Supertrousers and Supershorts require a bit of a wear-in period to soften the fabric.
The first three or so washes should be done by hand, then you should be right to machine wash.
Use cold water with a mild powder detergent, rinse thoroughly, very gentle or no spin and line-dry.
Do not iron, dry clean, spin-dry or use bleach.
When new, the stiffness of the fabric means it creases in points rather than soft folds - washing them in an aggressive or hot machine can cause damage on the crease points.
Our canvas also has a waterproofing agent which, if washed in an aggressive or hot machine, can shift and discolour. This will appear as white lines which cannot be removed.
Washing inside out will minimise lighter coloured creases on the outside of the fabric, but won’t remove stains quite as well.
Drip dry without creases (it won't take long as the polyester in the fabric doesn't hold much water)
Close zips while washing (they'll last longer)
Note that all the colours will lighten with use and washing as the natural cotton content of the fabric won't take a dye fixative in the same way as a 100% synthetic fabric.
If you get attacked by a pig and the fabric gets holed while saving your reproductive potential send them back and we'll patch ‘em for a small fee
