Carhartt WIP Kander Shorts

The Carhartt WIP Kander Shorts in Kander Check/Blue River are a premium leisure choice, utilising a three-dimensional waffle-knit texture to maximise ventilation. The midweight cotton fabric is garment-washed for immediate softness, providing a comfortable and substantial feel that doesn't cling in the heat. Equipped with a functional drawcord waist and a relaxed fit, these shorts serve as a stylish and airy foundation for any high-summer wardrobe.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily casual wear for individuals who appreciate the ease of a pull-on leisure short with a more refined, "smart" fabric handle.
• Building a high-quality loungewear or travel rotation focused on breathable materials and classic checkered patterns.
• Post-surf or beach-side use where the moisture-wicking properties of waffle-knit cotton provide essential comfort.
• Those seeking a reliable short that coordinates perfectly with white t-shirts or the matching Kander shirt.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a relaxed fit, offering plenty of room through the seat and thigh for a laid-back, modern silhouette.
• The midweight cotton waffle provides a substantial drape that holds its shape significantly better than standard jersey shorts.
  
• We recommend taking your usual size to benefit from the intended comfortable and flexible profile.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a delicate cycle up to 30°C with similar light colours to preserve the Blue River check and waffle texture.
• Do not tumble dry; hang the shorts to dry naturally to maintain the cotton fibres and prevent potential shrinkage.
• Iron at a maximum temperature of 110°C on the reverse side if necessary, though the waffle weave naturally resists heavy creasing.
• Wash the garment inside out to protect the embroidered Script Logo and the textured surface from abrasion.
• Avoid the use of harsh detergents or bleach that could compromise the integrity of the garment-washed cotton.

Our Kander Shorts FAQs

1. Is the waistband fully elastic?
   Yes, it features a robust elasticated band with a drawstring, allowing you to wear them comfortably without a belt.

2. What is "cotton waffle"?
   It is a textured weave with a recessed grid pattern that increases surface area, making the shorts more breathable and less likely to stick to your legs in humidity.

3. Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?
   Yes, the two front pockets are designed for daily utility and can easily accommodate a modern smartphone.

4. Is the logo prominent?
   No, the Script Logo is subtly embroidered, offering a clean look that focuses on the quality of the check and fabric texture.
