Freenote takes shorts a step up with their Premium Deck Short. These are made from bedford cord, a water repellant durable cotton originally designed for the Navy in the early 20th century. Bedford Cord makes these shorts perfect for wearing during hiking with a chance of rain, fishing on a small boat, or for when your obstinate kid doesn't listen and sprays you with the hose. The Deck Shorts come with an elastic waistband with a drawstring, a snap enclosure for the side pockets, and perfect length above the knee.
