A Warm-Weather Short With a Relaxed Drape
The Katin Stevens Local Short leans into warmer weather with a linen-rayon stripe that drapes freely and keeps things cool, giving it a calm, laid-back look that comes straight from the way the fabric moves.
Fabric and Features
It is built from a 60% linen, 40% rayon yarn-dyed stripe, a blend chosen for how it hangs rather than clings. The short has a 17 inch outseam, an elastic waistband with drawcord, front side seam pockets, back welt pockets, a button with loop closure on the back left pocket, and a woven Katin label on the left leg above the hem.

Who Wears This Short
This is a short for everyday warm-weather wear rather than straight water use, the kind of piece you reach for walking the boardwalk, grabbing lunch after a morning session, or just living in South Florida heat where a stiff cotton short would feel too heavy. The linen-rayon drape stays cool against the skin and moves easily.
Fit and Care
The elastic waistband with drawcord lets you adjust fit without a belt, and the side seam pockets and back welt pockets keep the front profile clean. Linen and rayon blends do best with a gentle wash and should be treated more carefully than a synthetic short, since the fabric's drape is part of what makes the short look right.
The Katin Story
Katin was founded in 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. The brand has remained a Southern California staple ever since, known as one of California's first labels to make surf trunks and committed to durable, high-quality goods.
