Ward Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"What stands out is the texture—this waffle cord feels soft right away and has a unique look you don’t get from standard cotton shorts. The fit is relaxed, the waistband stays comfortable, and they’re easy to wear all day."

Warm days and mellow weekends call for a short with personality, and the Ward Short brings that retro-inspired ease into a modern, comfortable design. The waffle corduroy fabric adds depth and softness, giving the short a lived-in feel that works from slow mornings to long afternoons outside. Its 60s–70s influence shows through in the subtle texture and relaxed silhouette, while the elastic waistband keeps things comfortable no matter how the day moves.

Front slash pockets add everyday function, and the clean-finished interior binding keeps the construction smooth against the skin. With a 17-inch outseam, the Ward Short hits that sweet spot of warm-weather coverage and carefree comfort, making it a versatile staple for coastal living, road trips, or easygoing daily wear.
