Florence Marine X Standard Issue 17.5" Boardshorts

From the beginning,
Florence Marine X wanted to be very intentional with their approach to boardshorts. They wanted to know and understand the impact of every stitch, every hem choice, every seam, and every feature. The result is a line of function-driven trunks that have been proven from Pipe to outer reefs to the beachbreaks of California. The designs aren't loud, but they're recognizable from down the beach. The tech isn't overt, but the performance is undeniable. And when you put a pair on, they're confident you'll enjoy wearing them as much as they do.

Recycled Down to the Tag
This short is made from 80% polyester that’s recycled. The labels themselves are 50% recycled.

Functional Features
A side-zip pocket with key loop is built into the design of the short so you forget it’s there.

Durability is in the Details
Triple-needle stitching on the short’s rise adds strength and durability to the design.

Boardshort Care

How to Care for Your Boardshorts
Florence Marine X has spent a lot of time ensuring the things you get from them are built to last. But, if you show them the right care, they’ll last even longer – and stay out of the landfill. Read on for their suggestions on how to care for your boardshorts.

Less Laundering. Less Impact.
When you wash your boardshorts – especially those with polyester construction – they ‘shed’ microfiber plastics that often end up in our oceans. Whenever possible, Florence Marine X suggest spot-treating and hang-drying their garments. This ultimately saves water, is easier on your gear extending longevity and reduces microfiber shedding.

Hand Wash
Washing machines can be pretty brutal on boardshorts over time. Aside from shedding microfiber plastic, they can wreak havoc on the seams, the water-repellency and the longevity of the short. Whenever possible, wash by hand with fresh water and gentle soap. If you absolutely have to wash them in a machine, they suggest a side-load washer without a center agitator as this will be easier on your gear and help extend its longevity.

Hang Dry
Never put your boardshorts in the dryer. It’s hot in there. Really hot. This is especially true with the Florence Marine X Weld Boardshort, but applies to the rest of their line. Always, always, always hang them on your backyard fence or a line to air dry.
