From Seamwork:

Summer is right around the corner. Sometimes your average shorts are just too casual, and you need a little vintage style in your day.

Weston shorts are high waisted, with front and back darts to hug your shape. The tailored waistband has a zippered fly and can be finished with jeans buttons or sew on buttons. These shorts can be sewn up surprisingly quickly; and if you've never sewn a zippered fly before, you are in for a very pleasant surprise.

Choose a red denim for a fun, casual style, or go with a white linen for a classic look. Experiment with firm, tightly woven fabrics such as gaberdine, twill or even light weight canvas.
