01 CLASSIC SHORTS

When the weather gets unbearably hot, wear your Panama hat with classic Gurkha shorts and a short-sleeved shirt to keep cool. While vintage designs dating back to the 1930s are almost impossible to track down these days, Dylan Chong of bespoke suitmakers Dylan & Son has recently launched made-to-order Gurkha shorts. These smart-casual shorts feature a streamlined cut to suit modern tastes, come with sleek button closures on the waistband and can be made in a variety of fabrics, including machine-washable medium to heavyweight cottons or summery seersucker.
