Today we’re releasing what many of you were crying out for in our survey a couple of weeks ago (we think one of you might have actually been crying).
“Please make more linen shorts. They are my favourite piece of clothing I have ever owned!”
“More shorts!”
“I want the linen shorts 😭 “
We’re here to stem your tears – releasing three kinds of soon-to-be-your-favourite shorts: relaxed linen, relaxed twill and tailored linen. All cut & sewn by garment workers paid good wages.
If you don’t need to know the details, you can just…
GO GET THEM
Life lived well from the waist down
Our relaxed linen EcoVero™️ shorts are back with a whole new set of colours. As Lizzie T. put it, “the fabric is gorgeous” – made with an EcoVero™️ and linen blend that makes the shorts super supple, swishy, and smooth.
So while everyone else is sweating from the waist down this summer, your thighs can be cool and breezy.
As a mysterious reviewer known as S. told us, “Super cool, super comfy, so light and soft…. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!?”
I'M SOLD
It’s hard to argue…. unless you’re just a diehard for organic cotton.
Let’s say you want to cast the same relaxed silhouette against a beach sunset this summer, but you fancy staying a little warmer once the sun goes down.
Our new relaxed twill shorts are here for you.
A staple of the laid back life, these shorts cushion your bottom with organic cotton and the twill weave gives the fabric a long-lasting durability. We’ve also woven 2% elastane into the organic cotton for a little extra stretch and comfort.
They’re what would happen if our original chino and linen shorts had a baby (and perhaps they did while we weren’t looking – our warehouse is bigger now with lots of hiding places).
You can slip into them in washed sage, charcoal and vintage blue – with a drawcord dyed to match.
I'M THERE
But some of you have sharper eyes… for a sharper silhouette.
You stumbled across something you shouldn’t have.
You hopped onto our women’s T-shirt collection page and scrolled right to the bottom.
You saw the boat neck vest our model Tina was wearing, and the woven basket she was swinging on her arm, like she’s mastered the art of the picnic.
And you thought, “that’s a nice boat neck vest but what is she wearing from the waist down?”
And we got an email to say, “Please tell me these shorts are yours?!”
And we were forced to smile slyly, not that you could tell, and say, “wait a little and see.”
Now we can confirm: These are in fact Yes Friends tailored linen shorts.
They’re the short cut version of our nearly sold-out tailored linen trousers. Best known for their deep pockets and casual-smartness, with a little elastic around the back for comfort.
Against the next beach sunset, they’ll help you cast a silhouette so sharp, you might cut yourself. So be careful out there.
STAY SHARP
