Men's Vintage Wash Denim Jean Shorts

Denim shorts that fall past the knee in a wide, dusty-gray wash with panel seams and smudged scuffs, like they just got back from a long weekend. The fabric is thick, heavy and cut loose, with a curved seam at each side that gives the legs a rounded, structured shape. Faded patches and soft grime marks spread across the thighs, and the back pockets sit flat with a worn edge. They look like a skate shop find and wear like you've owned them for years. Throw them on with a tee and you're set.

We picked this one for the grime. A smoky gray wash covers the front, with lighter, cloudy patches across each thigh and a few darker smudges and scuffs that look like they were earned in the street. Curved side seams and a boxy panel at each hip add structure, scoop pockets sit at the front and a metal button closes the waist. The back has two stitched pockets with a faded top edge, and the legs finish wide and long, landing near the knee.

It comes in Jeans Blue and Black. Black is the smoky, grimy one in the lead photos, and Jeans Blue is the classic washed option. Wear them with a boxy graphic tee and chunky sneakers, a cropped hoodie and high socks, or a vintage band shirt and skate shoes. Add a chain and a cap and you've got a full skater summer fit.

For the guy who wants shorts with some real structure. The wide leg, the paneled seams and the heavy cotton give these a street, skater and vintage feel that works for summer days and long nights. They hold their shape, the wash hides everyday wear and the loose cut leaves plenty of room to move. Pick your wash and wear them out. They look good clean and even better dirty. They go from the skate spot to the cookout without a costume change.
