Who it is built for
This short is made for everyday wear rather than swimming, sitting above the knee for a shorter, more casual cut. The welt pockets front and back give it real function for keys, a wallet, or a phone, while the touch of spandex in the corduroy blend adds a bit of give for all-day comfort around town or the shop.
How to wear and care for it
Corduroy holds its texture best with gentler care, so wash the Cord Local Short in cold water and avoid high heat drying to protect the 16-wale corduroy and the spandex stretch. Because it is a cotton and spandex blend rather than a quick-dry swim fabric, treat it as an everyday short rather than a board short.
The Katin story
Katin began in 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. Raised along the California coast, the brand became one of the state's first to make surf trunks, and the Cord Local Short carries that same decades-long commitment to durable, everyday goods.
