The Breizh Rider Team's Advice

"The Essential Herringbone short from Rhythm is exactly the kind of timeless piece we love unpacking at the shop. What we validate instantly is the texture of its olive green herringbone canvas and its wash: it feels like putting on a favorite pair of shorts you've owned for years because it's so supple and comfortable. The 19" length is ideal—neither too long nor too short—and the little welt pocket on the leg brings that ultra-practical utility edge. It's the perfect short to throw on for a drink on the terraces of the Rosmeur or for a salty stroll toward the Plomarc'h cliffs in Douarnenez. Style, character, and rock-solid durability!"
