9" relaxed cotton short in seersucker plaid

These relaxed-fit shorts are made from 100 percent cotton seersucker—one of our favorite summer standbys. The textured weave sits slightly off the skin for built-in ventilation on hot, humid days. Designed with a 9" inseam and a catalog-inspired plaid, they're ready whether you're heading out or kicking back. Fun fact: Seersucker gets its name from the Persian phrase shir-o-shakar ("milk and sugar"), a nod to its alternating smooth and textured stripes.
