Rip Curl Pacific Dreams Cord Short
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
An acid-wash cord short for laid-back days
The Rip Curl Pacific Dreams Cord Short brings a laid-back vibe with a cotton cord fabric, an acid wash finish, and metal hardware, combining style and everyday functionality in one short.
What it is made of
- Cotton Cord 8w
- Acid wash finish
The 8-wale cotton cord gives the short its texture, while the acid wash gives each pair a faded, worn-in look straight off the shelf.
How it is built
- Metal hardware
- Multiple pocketing
- Woven flag label
Multiple pockets add real storage for keys, cards, or a phone, and the woven flag label marks it as an authentic Rip Curl piece.
Who it is for
These shorts suit anyone who wants a short that works for more than just the beach, whether that is hanging out with friends, running errands, or wearing it as part of an everyday outfit in South Florida's warm climate. The cotton cord fabric gives it more structure than a swim short, making it a better fit for wear off the water.
Wearing and caring for it
Cotton cord holds up well to regular wear, but washing it inside out in cool water helps protect the acid wash finish and the metal hardware from fading or corroding too quickly. Air drying or a low-heat cycle keeps the cord texture from flattening out over time.
