The verdict
Fit
Drawstring cuts typically sit higher and wider through the hip than tapered styles, with a straighter line down the leg. Linen creases with wear; the fit will soften and relax slightly after the first few washes.
Quality
Linen is inherently durable and breathes well. 3sixteen's version likely uses a medium-weight linen finished to minimize excessive wrinkling while keeping the fiber's natural character. Expect color stability in chocolate across seasons.
Is the price fair?
Mid-to-premium for a linen short. Linen costs more than cotton; 3sixteen's finish and attention to dye work justify this tier.
Best for
Summer dressing or transitional seasons where you want refined casual—dinners, travel, or weekend activities calling for something beyond athletic wear.
Care
Linen wrinkles naturally; wash cool and line dry or roll damp to minimize creasing if you prefer less texture.
