All Day Short
About Faherty’s shorts: Faherty's shorts span roughly $98-$108 for the recycled-poly All Day Short (the belt-loop version lands around $98, the standard around $108) up to heavier twill and corduroy drawstring styles near $128-$138; the All Day is the coastal-casual quick-dry staple the brand is best known for.
Is the price honest?
At $108 (closer to $98 for the belt-loop version) you're paying a coastal-lifestyle premium for a recycled-polyester quick-dry short. The versatility and fast-drying comfort are real, but the fabric is a poly performance blend, not woven cotton twill, so part of what you're paying for is the Faherty name and sustainability story. Fair if you genuinely live in these from beach to bar all summer; on raw materials and construction alone, it's a steep ask versus a plain chino short.
Our take
Faherty's All Day Short is the brand's signature warm-weather staple — a quick-dry, water-repellent short cut from a recycled-polyester blend (Faherty's REPREVE-based fabric, with some organic cotton and a touch of stretch) that sits somewhere between a swim short and a casual everyday short. Owners call it one of the most versatile shorts they own: light, fast-drying, breathable, and comfortable enough to wear from the beach to dinner. The honest caveats are that it reads casual-only — the technical, swim-adjacent fabric and relaxed everyday cut mean it won't pass for a tailored chino short — and the price stings for what is, at its core, a recycled-poly performance short. It's offered in 5-, 7-, and 9-inch inseams and in a belt-loop version, so check which one you're actually buying, because the loops and waistband detailing differ.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- A recycled-polyester performance blend (Faherty's REPREVE-based fabric) with some organic cotton and a bit of elastane for stretch — quick-drying and water-repellent, with a smooth midweight hand rather than a heavy woven feel.
- Fit
- Faherty's classic everyday short fit, offered in 5-, 7-, and 9-inch inseams; a zipper fly with shank closure plus an interior drawstring, with a separate belt-loop version also available. Generally true to size with a roomy, easy seat.
- Quality
- Clean stitching, mesh-lined pockets, and a durable quick-dry recycled-poly fabric that holds up well to water and repeated wear; the trade-off is that the technical poll-feel reads casual and performance-oriented rather than crisp and tailored, so it won't dress up like a structured chino short.
- Best for
- Beach days, boat days, vacations, and all-day casual wear for anyone who wants a quick-dry, do-everything short over a tailored, dressed-up one.
- Care
- Machine wash cold and hang or tumble dry low — the recycled-poly blend dries fast on its own and skipping high heat protects the water-repellent finish and the small amount of stretch in the waistband.
