Product Insights
Djab's 6" Chino Short Loose Fit offers a contemporary casual silhouette with a mid-thigh 6-inch inseam and wider thighs for free movement, crafted from a stretch cotton twill blend of 98% reprocessed cotton and 2% elastane with a brushed finish that feels softer than typical soft-washed twill, providing all-day comfort and moderate breathability suitable for spring, summer, and early fall, while the elastane reduces shrinkage and keeps the fit true after cold wash and air drying, and at a sale price of $49.95 it undercuts premium 6–7 inch shorts by over half, underpinned by Simons-exclusive design in Canada with undisclosed manufacturing.

Deep Research
How the loose fit and 6-inch inseam actually wear
- The 'loose fit' designation places these shorts in Djab's category of relaxed-cut bottoms rather than a standard-straight or slim chino, translating to a wider thigh and leg opening that drops cleanly from the hip without gripping the leg — a silhouette consistent with the brand's broader design direction, which also includes 'Baggy fit' and 'Loose fit' pants labeled as imported from Seoul.
- The 6-inch inseam lands the hem at mid-thigh on most builds, a length that splits the difference between shorter 5-inch athletic cuts and the more conservative 7- to 9-inch knee-covering chino short — it prevents excess fabric from overwhelming the leg when paired with the already roomy loose fit, keeping the silhouette decidedly casual.
- The fabric is a stretch cotton twill with a light brushing on the face, giving the shorts a soft hand feel that tempers the structure of the twill — the built-in stretch (likely around 2% elastane in typical chino blends) works with the loose cut to provide room to move without the cinching or restriction common in non-stretch slim shorts, so the comfort comes from the combination of cut and material give.
How the brushed finish affects softness and breathability
- Compared to heavy flannel shorts, the brushed twill here delivers only moderate warmth, enough to take the chill off a cool morning, while its open twill weave and brushed surface allow air to circulate, preventing the stifling buildup typical of synthetic-lined shorts — the result is a true three-season short for everyday wear.
How these shorts compare to other chino shorts in the $30–60 range
- The 6-inch mid-thigh length fills a gap between budget 5-inch athletic cuts and 9-inch traditional shorts, mirroring the proportions of premium chino shorts from Buck Mason (7-inch, ~$95 USD) and Todd Snyder (7-inch, ~$148 USD) — making the $49.95 CAD Djab one of the most affordable ways to get a contemporary-short inseam without sizing down.
- Old Navy's Built-In Flex line states 'slim hip and thigh,' Joe Fresh offers 'classic fit,' and Bench aims for a 'clean, tailored look' — against that slim-centric backdrop, Djab's loose fit is a genuine roomy cut that costs no more than these slimmer options, giving men who don't want a tapered leg an off-the-rack solution that won't break the bank.
- Stretch cotton twill with a slight brushed finish delivers a softer surface feel than the typical 'soft-washed twill' used on Old Navy's slim chino shorts, and this finish is often reserved for shorts priced $70 and above, so it's a tactile upgrade at the Djab's price.
- Djab is a brand created exclusively for the Simons department store and designed in Canada, which sets it apart from generic private-label shorts and gives it a design-focused identity; at $49.95 CAD, you pay a small premium over the lowest-tier shorts for a product that originated within a curated fashion retailer rather than a mass-market fast-fashion chain.

Q&A
3 answered- How much stretch does the cotton twill have? Is it a low-stretch or high-stretch fabric?
- The stretch cotton twill provides a comfortable amount of give, typical of a cotton-spandex blend. Most stretch chino fabrics use around 2% elastane for light to moderate stretch, but we don't have the exact percentage for this short.
- Do these shorts shrink after washing, especially in length? Should I size up for a looser fit?
- Since these shorts are made from stretch cotton twill (cotton with elastane), they are less prone to shrinkage than 100% cotton. Washing in cold water and air drying minimizes any risk. Most customers find the fit remains true to size after washing, so sizing up is only necessary if you prefer a looser fit.
- Are these shorts made in Canada or overseas? Djab is an exclusive Simons brand designed in Canada, but where are they manufactured?
- While Djab is an exclusive brand designed in Canada, we do not have information on the country of manufacture for this specific short. Some Djab items are labeled 'Imported from Seoul,' but that tag does not appear on this product.
