Men's linen shorts 1962

Turning long trousers into shorts by cutting off the legs is a tried and tested method - also at Pike Brothers. These shorts are made even more summery by using a lightweight linen fabric with a distinctive weave instead of cotton. The shorts are cut in the same way as the long version: button and button placket with stone nut buttons, two patch pockets at the front and two at the back, the latter with buttoned flaps, and buttoned waistband tabs to adjust the width. The trouser legs are finished with a fixed turn-up.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.
