About the Fabric
Every pair of Feel Good Shorts is crafted using breathable, handwoven 50/50, cotton/acrylic mix sourced from artisan cooperatives in Guatemala. The fabric is soft, durable, and naturally resistant to odors — perfect for travel, lounging, or off-grid adventures. Because each textile is woven by hand, no two pairs are exactly alike. This isn’t just fabric — it’s cultural craftsmanship you can feel. These shorts are designed to last and get better with every wash, breaking in like your favorite pair of jeans — but way more comfortable. Wear them often, wash when needed, and trust that they’ll hold up, mile after mile.

I wore these almost every day last summer. I’m not like those guys that wear shorts in the winter but I am super excited for Spring and to wear my shorts again.
