Compared within this brand.
| 100% European Linen Short Inseam: 4" (10 Cm): Choose this if you want a very short, above-the-knee linen short for warm weather: it is cut from lightweight, breathable 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ European linen with a mid-thigh, 4 inch (10 cm) inseam and a straight, slightly relaxed fit at the natural waist. Details include a waistband with belt loops, a single top button, subtle side pockets, and two welt back pockets, offered in Ecru/Linen and Burgundy across sizes 32 to 38. Keep in mind that the hem sits well above the knee on the model, so this length suits those comfortable with a distinctly short inseam.[1,2,3,4] | Pleated Cotton-Linen Short Inseam: 7" (18 Cm): Choose this if you want a tailored, mid-thigh chino short with a 7 inch (18 cm) inseam, front pleats, and a relaxed, slightly tapered leg. It is made in Navy/Midnight Blue (sizes 30 and 32) from a soft, lightweight 50% linen and 50% reprocessed cotton blend, with belt loops, slanted side pockets, and two welt back pockets. Note that as a cotton-linen fabric it shows slight creasing when worn.[5,6,7,8] | Stretch Chino Short Inseam: 5" (13 Cm): Choose this if you want a mid-thigh, 5 inch (13 cm) inseam stretch chino in an organic cotton, TENCEL REFIBRA lyocell and elastane blend, with a flat front, slanted side pockets, belt loops, and six colors for smart-casual summer looks — reviewers praised the flattering cut and versatile palette. Some buyers found them less comfortable than Le 31's other chino styles and returned them, so consider a different model if comfort is your top priority. Note that the black colorway reportedly attracts lint and needs frequent cleaning, so a lighter color may be easier to maintain.[9,10,11] |
