A lightweight short that’s comfortable but not too casual
The Drawstring Canoe Short is Flint and Tinder’s answer to the dog days of summer. It’s cut from a lightweight cotton-linen blend that retains its structure while remaining incredibly breathable.
Unlike heavy denim or thick twill, it’s designed to stretch, stay airy, and sit comfortably off the skin rather than cling to it. Each option is garment-dyed for a rich, lived-in color that only gets better with age, and features an easy-wearing drawstring waistband to ensure a relaxed fit from the first wear.

- Leg Opening: Measure across the bottom hem from edge to edge
- Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the leg hem, following along the inside of the leg
