The EDC Short in Guide Cloth is our uncompromising, high standard in a performance, 4-way stretch technical, plain front, every day wear, trail to street short. Available in Universal Field Gray. #edcshort
The EDC short is our everyday short designed with today's active EDC (Every Day Carry) user in mind. Every Day Carry is a way of life for many modern individuals who accessorize their lifestyle with core, select and curated tools, objects and items that enhance their "Every day." Our shorts feature a total of eleven pockets to stash and organize as little or as many EDC items in a streamlined, tailored and clean style. Two custom PDW delta rings allow you to clip in keys or our coil lanyard and dual Pocket Clip Docks™ on the hand pockets. Our unique Pocket Clip Dock™ fits most folder pocket clips and helps protect your car paint finishes, to bicycle top tubes. Crafted with industrial grade triple needle stitching on all major seams. More than any other plain front shorts on the market and perhaps overkill for some, but for those who "get it," will appreciate these labor intensive industrial grade construction details.
This version of the EDC Short is made in our proprietary Guide Cloth, a technical, 4-season weight, durable, breathable nylon and elastic blend in a woven twill cloth with a DWR finish. The highly mobile 4-way stretch of this durable cloth allows you to move like Chuck, and feel like Bourne. The EDC Short is more than merely capable, it's for those who rule their roost. This highly versatile, technical, performance material accommodates a wide variety use cases and contexts. Hike, bike, explore, work, read, climb, chill, round house and adventure on in the EDC Short. They are ready for every day wear on the trail, field or street.
Our apparel styling is an academic consequence of form following function. You will not find superfluous details or unnecessary affectations with the outcome of our design process in crafting these shorts. Each feature and component serves a purpose for utility, versatility, movement, and comfort. We source and custom produce best in class textiles, hardware and trims for our apparel, and produce them locally in CA with skilled labor being paid a living wage. *Accessories shown in product images are optional and not included.*

Eli ★★★★★

The 4-way stretch is perfect for hiking then heading straight to dinner without looking out of place. I was surprised how well the field gray hides dust and dirt after a day on the trail. They've quickly become my go-to shorts for just about everything.

Kevin ★★★★★

The guide cloth fabric has a nice weight to it—not too thin but still breathable for warmer days. I’ve been wearing them on short hikes and then out for coffee without needing to change. The fit is just right, with enough room to move without looking baggy.

Joseph ★★★★★

I’ve been wearing these shorts for daily walks and they hold up great without looking too technical. The Guide Cloth fabric feels durable yet moves with me, and the Universal Field Gray color goes with everything.
