50's and 60's military-inspired utility shorts with a Hollywood waistband Kerouac might've skipped town wearing a pair of 50's to 60's era military trousers. A spur-of-the-moment coast to coast trip (and detour into the Mexican desert) would've called for such a rugged pair of pants to fly by the seat of. The Canvas Stretch Supply Short - 9" draws inspiration from the military bottoms of this era—keeping it 50's-copacetic with practical, easy-access patch pockets in the front and rear and a standard button and zip-fly closure. As for modern additions, the canvas stretch material offers durability and all-day comfort, while the adjustable waist side tabs dial in the fit. For the finishing touch, the legs are tapered for a contemporary silhouette, and a Hollywood waistband (meaning the cut extends above the belt loops) polishes off Relwen's stylish iteration of this mid-century classic.
