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, two drop-in pockets, and an adjustable drawstring.

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.

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. Two 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.
