Product Insights
Only & Sons’ Faded Black Denim Bermudas offer heritage denim construction with a subversive take on contemporary classics, uniform fading concentrated on seat and hem from the bermuda cut, and 100% cotton that breathes more freely than stretch denim for warm-weather cooling. The button fly uses independent buttons that break in to outlast zippers, reducing gape and eliminating zipper-head pressure points, though buttonholes loosen after a week and the rigid denim softens with wear over about a week. Sizing runs relaxed for a 75 cm waist in L, with options to size down for a trimmer fit. At $39.95, these shorts deliver the same loose fit as Only & Sons’ $79 loose-fit denim bermuda. Care requires cold wash and line dry to maintain wash and limit shrinkage to 5%.
Verified claims
- Durability
- The button fly uses independent buttons, and the cotton buttonholes break in after about a week, making the closure outlast zippers.
- Fit and comfort
- Button fly reduces gape and eliminates zipper-head pressure points.
- Fade
- Fading is uniform without patchy cracking, concentrated on seat and hem due to the bermuda cut.
- Break-in
- The rigid denim softens with wear and buttonholes conform to buttons after about a week.
- Heritage
- Only & Sons marries heritage denim with a subversive take on contemporary classics.
- Breathability
- Breathes more freely than stretch denim; better for warm weather.
- Brand positioning
- Heritage denim construction, urban-inspired design, and affordable quality from Only & Sons.
- Sizing
- Model with 75 cm waist wears L; usual size for relaxed, size down for trimmer.
- Closure
- Button fly resists gape and offers redundant security; buttonholes loosen after a week.
- Pockets
- Standard five-pocket design; front pockets deep enough for a phone.
- Care instructions
- Cold wash and line dry to maintain wash and limit shrinkage to 5%.
- Value
- At $39.95, this short delivers the same loose fit as Only & Sons’ $79 loose-fit denim bermuda.
- Denim performance
- 100% cotton denim fades evenly, breathes well, and molds to fit over time.
- Cooling
- Loose, above-knee fit and 100% cotton fabric allow air circulation for cooling.
- Button fly
- The button fly conforms to the body and reduces pressure points while seated.
- Stretch
- The bermudas are made from 100% cotton denim with no elastane, so they have no stretch and start stiff before softening with wear.
- Wash appearance
- The faded black wash is a mid-wash finish that looks softly faded and vintage rather than heavily distressed or uniform black.
- Inseam
- The shorts have an 8-inch inseam that falls above the knee.
- Retail context
- The shorts are sold through Simons' Le 31 concept, which curates Scandinavian minimalist brands.
