These shorts have an elastic waistband, belt loops, a front opening and inner drawstring, and a large Umps pocket. Made of a dry cotton blend from the USA and Australia, using yarns spun in a way that creates neps by adjusting the machine when carding the raw cotton (a process to remove impurities and align the fibres in a certain direction). This is a very technical process, and it is difficult to get the neps to be strong or weak. On the other hand, it has a natural and rustic look. Since nep yarn is a weak yarn that breaks more easily than usual, delicate control is necessary when weaving. Therefore, an old-fashioned 'rapier loom' is used, which is capable of weaving with strength on weak yarns such as silk.
