{"product_id":"frayed-seam-patchwork-shorts-hotsure","title":"Frayed Seam Patchwork Shorts 'Hotsure'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDenim shorts pieced from pale and dark bands with frayed seams between them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour bands of denim, pale and dark, sewn together across each leg with the seams on the outside and left to fray, so the shorts have a frayed line at the thigh, at the knee and at the hem, front and back. The cut is a relaxed five-pocket short, and the bands are the whole design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the pair in the collection with the most seams, and the fray is the point: the shorts look like they were pieced from two old pairs, which is the idea, and they were not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Hotsure, is the fray, the thread that has come loose, and the shorts are built from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is denim, washed so the colour has already moved where a pair of shorts moves it, at the thigh and the seat, chosen because denim shorts are the ones worn most in a summer and the ones that look best at the end of one. The cut is a relaxed knee-length short with a five-pocket front, a button or zip fly and a waist that takes a belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear them with a white tee and white trainers, as in the photograph, which is the outfit every pair in this collection was photographed in and the one they are all best in. A black tee in the evening, a camp shirt open over the top, and nothing else with a pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bands are separate cloths seamed with the raw edge out, so the fray is part of the construction and stops at the stitching, and the pale and dark bands alternate front and back so the shorts read as striped from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey wash cold, inside out, with their own colour the first time, and hang to dry; the wash keeps moving at the seams, which is the point of denim, and the frayed hems fray a little more and then stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a street they are blue shorts with pale stripes. From close the stripes are bands with frayed seams between them, and the two denims show their different washes. They are the pair for someone who likes their denim to look repaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rise sits at the waist, the fly zips, and the hem is the last band's raw edge, so the shorts end in the same fray they are built from. Wash them and the fray settles; wear them and it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from S to XL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":59207830045020,"sku":"14:173#BLUE;5:3115","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":59207830077788,"sku":"14:173#BLUE;5:200000331","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":59207830110556,"sku":"14:173#BLUE;5:100010481","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":59207830143324,"sku":"14:173#BLUE;5:200000334","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/frayed-seam-patchwork-shorts-hotsure-1.jpg?v=1790582811","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/frayed-seam-patchwork-shorts-hotsure","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
