Sustainable shorts
Fashion can be sustainable and considerate of the environment. Men's fashionable shorts made from Cocotex and Repreve are a great choice for those who care about both style and sustainability. Cocotex is a fabric made from discarded coconut husks, which are converted into fibers and then woven into a lightweight, breathable material.
Repreve, on the other hand, is a high-performance recycled polyester made from plastic bottles. Together, these materials create a comfortable, durable, and eco-friendly fabric that can be fashioned into trendy men's shorts. These shorts not only look great but also make a positive impact on the environment by reducing waste and pollution.
Our hugely popular “The Boundless Short” is made from 38% upcycled coconut husks (Cocotex), 50% recycled plastic bottles (Repreve) & 12% spandex. This combination not only makes the shorts comfortable but also easy on the environment.
