Product Insights
The 5-inch inseam of these stretch chino shorts exposes more thigh to visually lengthen legs, a decade-validated length that pairs with any top and signals style awareness. The stretch twill frees hips and quads for unrestricted movement, prevents binding and ride-up when dry, and retains shape when wet. The organic cotton/TENCEL/elastane blend offers low shrinkage, wet strength retention of 85%, and moisture wicking by absorbing 50% more moisture than cotton while reducing odor-causing bacteria. However, TENCEL lyocell shrinks 1-3% when cold-washed, though its elastic recovery maintains shape and it rates 20K-40K Martindale cycles for durability. The closed-loop process recovers 99.8% solvent and uses about 10 L water per kg fiber, with TENCEL REFIBRA fibers having unique molecular markers for traceability. At a sale price of $29.95, it offers nearly half the cost of Quince's $42 short, with TENCEL water savings.
