We ship from Italy. Our displayed prices include VAT, but your order value determines who collects it:
£135 or less: VAT is included in your checkout payment.
Over £135: VAT is removed at checkout. You must then pay import VAT separately to FedEx, along with a customs handling fee. FedEx may send this bill after delivery.
VAT removed at checkout is not a discount—it is collected separately by FedEx.
Shipping costs €14 and usually takes 4–7 working days. Return shipping is not free; please see our returns policy.
REFUSING DELIVERY
If you’re unsure about a FedEx charge, please contact us before refusing delivery so we can help clarify it. Refusing a parcel can incur return costs, which may be deducted from your refund.
We took our beloved silhouette inspired by WWII military chinos and lopped off the legs—what’s left may just be our favorite set of shorts to date. The Foundation Short is cast in a substantial organic cotton twill that’s been given a thorough garment wash for lived-in softness. Two slash front pockets, a low-profile coin pocket, and unbeatable YKK hardware finish out the package. When it comes to the perfect summer wardrobe, it pays to build on solid ground.
The characteristically tight weave and mercerized yarns of this reverse-engineered military chino fabric results in a smooth hand feel and improved durability over your average chino, while a garment dye and wash ensures a broken-in feel from the very first wear. And as you put The Foundation Short through the wringer (we recommend wearing them hard and often) they’ll develop some beautiful patina, adding a touch of personal nuance to your laid back summer fit.
