The Short That Goes Everywhere
The Khakinator is Chubbies' answer to the question nobody wants to ask out loud: what if one pair of shorts could handle the golf course, a cross-country flight, and a dinner reservation without missing a beat? Built from a performance shell with a 6-inch inseam, these shorts look like a clean pair of chinos and perform like athletic wear. Spill-proof, wrinkle-resistant, and antimicrobial, they skip the laundry drama and get on with the day.
Performance Fabric That Looks the Part
The shell is an 89% Polyester/11% Spandex blend chosen specifically for its water resistance and stretch recovery. It moves with you, sheds minor spills, and resists wrinkles that would ruin a more traditional chino. The half-elastic waistband with an internal and external drawstring gives a tailored look at rest while expanding to meet whatever you put it through. A secret side zipper pocket keeps valuables secure without breaking the clean silhouette.
Optional Liner for Your Preference
The Khakinator is offered with or without a soft boxer brief liner. When the liner is included, it is constructed from 93% Modal/7% Spandex, a blend prized for its buttery softness, breathability, and stretch. Modal is a semi-synthetic fiber derived from beech wood pulp; it regulates temperature better than straight polyester and stays soft wash after wash. The result is a lined short that feels like loungewear while reading as smart-casual anywhere you take it.
