RVCA Recession Denim Shorts
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
A workwear-inspired denim short from RVCA
Shoppers searching for RVCA denim shorts often land on the Recession, a regular-fit short built from eco-conscious cotton denim that puts a modern twist on timeless workwear style. Between the utility pocket, hammer loop, and button fly, it reads more like a work short than a beach cutoff, and that is exactly the point.
What it is made of
- Fabric: eco-conscious cotton denim, 100% cotton
- Regular fit
- Zip fly with button closure
- Fixed waist
- Five pockets plus a utility pocket
- Hammer loop
The hammer loop and utility pocket are functional workwear details, not decoration, so the short is built to actually carry small tools or gear.
Who it is for
These shorts fit shoppers who want a regular-fit denim short with real pockets and storage, whether that is for working around the shop, running errands, or everyday wear between beach and boat days. The fixed waist and cotton denim build make it a more structured pick than a stretch or swim short.
Fit, wear, and care
Because the waist is fixed rather than elastic, check the size chart for the regular fit before ordering. Cotton denim will fade and soften with wear and washing, so wash in cold water and turn the shorts inside out to protect the fabric color and keep the hammer loop and utility pocket stitching intact longer.
