Product Insights
The Nautical Stripe Swim Short from Simons (CAD 59) weaves heritage and sustainability into a quick-dry, chlorine-resistant short with a 5-inch inseam (the GQ sweet spot, 2 inches above the knee). Its stripe traces to the 1858 French navy, later popularized by Coco Chanel and the Lost Generation, while the fabric—95% recycled polyester from ocean-bound plastics—saves 59% energy and 71% CO₂ versus virgin polyester. The short transitions from beach to evening (pair with a camp-collar shirt and loafers), though side pockets may hold water (no drainage holes) and the spandex waistband requires rinsing after pool use.
Verified claims
- Heritage
- Stripe originates from 1858 French navy, later adopted by Coco Chanel and the Lost Generation.
- Sustainability
- Made from a recycled polyester blend, which consumes 59% less energy and emits 71% less CO₂ per ton than virgin polyester.
- Chlorine resistance
- Chlorine-resistant polyester; spandex mesh and waistband should be rinsed after pool use.
- Pocket drainage
- Water may persist in slit side pockets without drainage holes.
- Care instructions
- Rinse immediately, hand wash cold with mild detergent, and air dry; use mesh bag for machine washing.
- Inseam fit
- 5-inch inseam: hem sits 2 inches above knee, a length GQ calls the sweet spot.
- Pool-to-bar transition
- Quick-dry fabric lets these shorts go from beach to evening without changing.
- Styling
- Pair with neutral tops; for evenings, add a camp-collar shirt and loafers.
- Quick-dry
- 95% recycled polyester, 5% spandex; quick-drying and chlorine-resistant with proper care.
- Drying time
- The swim shorts feel dry to the touch within 15 to 30 minutes after leaving the water under normal conditions.
- Lightweight construction
- The recycled polyester shell is a lightweight swim fabric in the 100–140 GSM range.
- Recycled polyester performance
- The recycled polyester performs identically to virgin polyester for water resistance and drying speed, so sustainable sourcing does not weaken quick-dry performance.
- Quick-dry durability
- The low water absorbency is a built-in property of the polyester fiber, not a chemical coating, so the quick-dry performance holds up through repeated washing and chlorine exposure.
