Product Insights
The Barrel Coffee High-Rise Boyshort from Left On Friday, priced at $120 CAD and in stock, is a compression-fit swim brief with a 1-inch inseam and medium bum coverage that prevents ride-up; enthusiasts recommend sizing up and measuring the lower belly for fit, as the 16%-Lycra fabric delivers a leggings-like compression that stays effective wet or dry, preventing bagging. The 46/38/16 nylon/polyester/Lycra main fabric and ECONYL recycled lining resist chlorine and fading from chlorine, saltwater, and UV (with post-swim rinsing), while water penetrates in seconds and dries quickly. Buyers report shape and compression hold for two years of regular use, and a longtime J.Crew buyer switched for the superior fabric and fit. The waistband sits just below the navel, targeting the lower belly for a mid-to-high rise that stays locked during active swimming.
Verified claims

- Enthusiasts recommend sizing up; measure lower belly for fit.
- Coverage
- The 1-inch inseam and medium bum coverage add security and help prevent riding up.
- Compression feel
- Buyers liken the 16%-Lycra fit to leggings — secure wet or dry, but often size up.
- Chlorine resistance
- 38% polyester and 16% Lycra preserve shape and color through many chlorinated swims.
- Fade resistance
- Fabric resists fading from chlorine, saltwater, and UV; post-swim rinsing recommended.
- Water handling
- Water takes seconds to penetrate the fabric, which dries quickly after.
- Fit
- Compression stays effective when wet, preventing bagging and ride-up.
- Ride-up
- Buyers report the shorts stay in place during active swimming and running.
- Shape retention
- Buyers report suits hold shape and compression for two years of regular use.
- Climate impact
- ECONYL lining reduces global warming impact up to 90% vs virgin nylon.
- Comfort and durability
- Soft as a second skin, yet holds shape and prevents sagging over use.
- Lining
- The ECONYL lining is designed to retain softness and shape through multiple seasons of use.
- Fabric
- 46/38/16 nylon/polyester/Lycra main fabric with ECONYL recycled lining resists chlorine, repels water, and compresses like activewear.
- Competition
- A longtime J.Crew buyer reports switching to Left On Friday for better fabric and fit.
- Waistband placement
- Waistband sits just below the navel, a mid-to-high rise targeting the lower belly.
- Swim performance
- Stays locked during swimming; water takes seconds to penetrate fabric.
- Waistband security
- The 16% Lycra compression helps keep the waistband from rolling, and choosing the larger of your measured sizes prevents the elastics from digging.
- Sunscreen and lotion fading
- The fabric is fade-resistant to chlorine and saltwater, but the brand does not explicitly address fading from sunscreen or lotions; rinsing after each wear is recommended to help protect against all types of fading.
- Seam roll
- One reviewer reports the seams roll and the black lining pokes out along the edges on the coffee colorway.

Nice bottoms, but the seams roll
The bottoms are super soft and the chocolate brown colour is beautiful, but I couldn't get past the fact that the seams roll and the black lining pokes out along the edges. After about 5 mins of getting the black hidden they look great, but for the price that nuisance just isn't worth it to me. Using my measurements I ordered a large (I have a small waist and bigger hips/bum) and it fit perfectly.
