Essential Linen Short (6.5") - Washed Black

Shorts

From Faherty: “Model: Thaddeus is 6’1" wearing size Medium”

The verdict

Premium linen short with a well-regarded cut; washed black is sophisticated and practical for men.

Fit

6.5-inch inseam sits just above the knee. Linen is naturally fluid and relaxed; Faherty's 'Essential' cut is a refined, slightly tapered silhouette that avoids baggy excess.

Quality

Faherty's Essential linen line is one of their stronger offerings—supple linen, reliable seams, and a cut that feels intentional.

Price check

138 USD for a linen short is upper-mid-tier. Justified by the quality of linen, the care taken in the cut, and washed black's versatility.

Best for

Men who wear linen shorts regularly and want a foundational piece that feels refined without fussing—office-to-drinks or weekend to dinner.

Care

Hand wash in cool water or gentle machine wash; hang dry or lay flat. Linen improves with washing.

Fit check: Faherty

True to size

Faherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.

Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.
