Clyde Short

These shorts are cut from a dense, textured wool-blend tweed that holds a sharp, boxy shape away from the hip. The high-rise waist and short 12-inch inseam create a distinct 1960s mod silhouette, grounded by a grounded brown-multi palette that feels more substantial than standard summer weight. Pair with high-shaft suede boots to lean into the retro-academic aesthetic.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed primarily of polyester and acrylic, both petroleum-derived synthetic fibers that lack natural breathability and contribute to microplastic shedding. The reliance on a synthetic lining and a dry-clean-only maintenance requirement further increases the risk of chemical residue exposure.
