Stretch Washed Chino Short
About Bonobos’s shorts: Bonobos shrank its signature curved-waistband chino into a short — the Stretch Washed Chino Short carries the same fit story across 5", 7", 9" and 11" inseams.

Our take
This is Bonobos' signature chino translated into a short — same curved waistband meant to kill waistband gap and seat sag, same soft washed stretch cotton, now offered in 5", 7", 9" and 11" inseams. Owners consistently praise the fit and the comfort, and the inseam range lets you dial the length to your leg instead of accepting whatever the brand decided. The honest caveats: the 8% spandex gives it a slightly synthetic snap that pure-cotton purists notice, the washed cloth is casual rather than crisp, and the back-pocket and hem stitching are where wear shows first after a season of hot washes. Choosing the inseam matters more than choosing the size — the 7" reads trim and short on taller guys, the 9" is the safe all-rounder.

The details
- Material
- Soft washed stretch cotton twill, 92% cotton / 8% spandex, mid-weight with a non-iron finish.
- Fit
- Slim or standard cut with the signature curved waistband, true to size; choose among 5", 7", 9" and 11" inseams — the 9" is the safe default.
- Quality
- Solid premium — soft, comfortable and cleanly built, but the washed cloth is casual not crisp and the hem and back-pocket stitching wear first after repeated hot washes.
- Best for
- Smart-casual summer wear and anyone who fights waistband gap or seat sag in shorts and wants to pick their exact inseam.
- Care
- Cold wash and tumble low or hang; the washed twill is non-iron, stays soft and resists wrinkling, and cold washing slows fading at the seams.
