Jordan Craig OG Tulsa twill short in jet black

Reviewed: Jordan Craig "OG Tulsa" Twill Short — Jet Black

This is the piece we stock deepest, and it is worth saying why: it is a black short that goes with everything, at a price where owning two is not a decision.

Twill, not denim

Worth being precise, because black twill and black denim photograph identically. This is twill — a tighter, smoother weave with less body than denim. It drapes rather than holds its shape, it is lighter in heat, and it takes the shredding differently: the frays are softer and finer than they would be on denim.

That is also why it files under Shorts rather than Jorts on the site.

Worn: it sits just below the knee with a raw hem, shown here with white low-tops and black socks.

The distressing

Horizontal shredded bands across both thighs, front and back, with the fabric backed underneath rather than left open. It looks destroyed and stays decent — you are not showing leg through the rips. The hem is cut raw and will fray a little more in the first few washes, then settle.

Fit

Sits at the natural waist, straight through the thigh, ending just below the knee. Not a slim short and not a baggy one. Nine sizes, 30 through 44, and it runs true.

The length is the useful part — plenty of shorts in this category stop mid-thigh, which limits what you can wear them with.

The shredding runs across both thighs in horizontal bands, backed rather than open, so nothing gapes.

Who it's for

Anyone who needs a black bottom half for warm weather. It is quiet enough to sit under a loud tee and distressed enough not to look plain. If you want the short to be the statement, the Politics Leo 500 with the rhinestones is the one — this is deliberately the supporting piece.

9 sizes. $59.99.
