Back on Track
When Oxford graduate student George Dole lined up against Roger Bannister at Iffley Road, he wore a pair of modestly-cut shorts with contrast binding. We’ve long admired the not-too-long, not-too-short silhouette and decided to reimagine the style for modern runners using our 2:09 Mesh. Luxurious and lightweight, these 4” shorts are built for performance, featuring a considered, comfortable liner, three drop-in pockets, and an adjustable drawstring.
- Featuring three drop-in pockets built-in to the liner
- Classic running shorts with a channeled drawstring
- Finished with our embroidered hare and racing stripe detail
- Made in a luxurious and lightweight performance mesh
- 2:09 Mesh: 82% Polyester, 18% Spandex, 145gsm
- Tricot Mesh with Antimicrobial Finish
- Odor Protection
- Moisture-Wicking
- Wash cold. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low.
- A more relaxed running short with a 4” inseam, featuring a built-in liner, an elasticated drawstring waistband, and a comfortable rise that offers more coverage than the classic Van Cortlandt Shorts.
Ruben is 6' 0" and wears a size Medium.
Key Features
Classic Performance
These shorts are designed to hit that sweet spot between not too long and not too short, with a modest 4” inseam silhouette, a channeled drawstring waistband, and a roomier rise.
Liner Notes
The shorts feature a lightweight liner in the same antimicrobial mesh as the body. Three pockets for keys, credit cards, or gels sit at the back interior of the waistband.
A Mesh with Merit
The 2:09 Mesh came to be, not only for its soft and airy texture, but also for its antimicrobial properties. With the funk-free finish, the shorts are built to battle bacteria.
