Keep it long, treasure it long.

Lightweight Summer Bottoms

As the heat becomes more intense, we naturally seek lighter options for our bottoms. On days when long pants feel a bit heavy, shorts become a reliable choice. These unisex Crispy Shorts offer a refreshing touch and lightweight fabric that visually conveys a sense of coolness. They are easy to wear even during hot weather and dry quickly after washing. Before you know it, they become a summer staple that you reach for repeatedly.

Lightweight and Quick-Drying Crispy Cross

The shorts are made from "Crispy Cross," woven with ultra-fine 15-denier nylon for the warp and 80/1 cotton for the weft. The combination of thin nylon provides lightness, while the use of extra-long cotton fibers, over 35mm in length, gives the fabric a natural sheen and smoothness. This fabric allows you to experience both the lightweight feel of synthetic fibers and the texture of cotton.

The surface has a dry touch that minimizes cling to the skin, which is a welcome feature in summer. With excellent breathability, it reduces discomfort even when sweating, and it dries quickly after washing, making it easy to handle during hot and humid periods. The visual lightness also contributes to its practicality for everyday wear.

The design is inspired by the pants worn by baseball umpires, featuring larger gusseted pockets designed to hold spare balls around the waist. The waistband is adjustable with elastic and a drawcord for a relaxed fit. The silhouette has a generous cut for ease of movement, and the length is not too short, providing a calm impression when worn. These shorts blend seamlessly into summer outfits.

Contrarian Craftsmanship

Jackman is a factory brand from Fukui Prefecture, carrying on the spirit of its founder, Mitsugu Tanabe. After World War II, Tanabe, captivated by American baseball, left his stable position as a Fukui Prefectural employee to establish a factory. Starting with just three circular knitting machines in a small eight-tatami room, the production evolved beyond stockings to uniforms and gloves, eventually leading to the creation of training wear for the Japanese delegation at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The underlying desire to shape aspirations into reality is still firmly embedded in Jackman today.

Moreover, the sewing factory, which has been in operation for over 60 years, continues to use not only modern sewing machines but also specialized machines like Union Special and REECE, which have been maintained and repaired over time. Rather than merely chasing novelty, Jackman focuses on discerning and continuing to use necessary techniques. The specifications and craftsmanship honed through this accumulation of experience lend quiet persuasiveness to Jackman products. While inheriting the techniques and spirit from its founding, Jackman continues its unique "contrarian" approach to craftsmanship. Furthermore, their commitment to providing free repairs for sewing defects due to normal use reflects that Jackman is a brand that does not end with just selling clothes. The longer you wear them, the deeper your understanding of their sincerity and background becomes. This creates a piece that you want to choose, encompassing that trust relationship as well.
