What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve worn the Cube Local Shorts almost daily this summer. The cotton-linen blend breathes really well, and the dobby texture gives it a nice elevated feel without being too dressy. The 17-inch outseam hits just right, and the elastic waistband with drawcord keeps the fit easygoing. Perfect for lounging, but definitely polished enough for heading out."Easygoing by nature but thoughtfully constructed, the Katin Cube Local Short is the kind of short we throw on for coffee runs, beach walks, or just hanging around the house. Built on Katin’s tried-and-true Local Short block, this version steps things up with a textured clipped dobby fabric made from a breathable cotton-linen blend that keeps things cool and comfortable in the heat. Details like welt pockets, a split side seam, and a clean-finished interior give it a refined finish, while the elastic waistband and drawcord make it effortlessly wearable day after day. Whether we’re dressing them up with a button-down or pairing them with a tee and slides, the Cube Local Short delivers laid-back style with a subtle edge.
