This is an old-school swim short constructed with a zip fly, a mesh liner, and a little bit of hidden elastic at the sides for an easier, more secure fit. This gives a clean, flat look at the front and back without a lot of bunching. It's got a mid-length 6.5" inseam (hence the name,) but if you dig short shorts, we also make a Standard length that shows a little more leg. Two inches more leg, to be exact. This pair is made of lightweight nylon in Portugal.
