Pleated Axis Short
Description
The Intent
A study in relaxed verticality. The 824 Pleated Axis Short is engineered for the gent who demands structural authority in high-heat environments. Utilizing a heavyweight brushed technical cotton, the garment achieves a "soft-touch" matte finish without compromising on density. The architectural front pleats provide a permanent vertical axis, while the "A-line" volume ensures absolute mobility and airflow. It is a clinical interpretation of the classic five-quarter silhouette, calibrated for a life sustained by routine.

Care
Every CB garment is built to last. The weight and finish require a considered approach to care. Cold wash, inside out, on a gentle cycle. No tumble dry. Hang or lay flat to preserve the structural integrity of the fabric. Avoid direct heat on any technical shell or fleece component.
Correct care extends the life of the piece indefinitely. These are not disposable garments.
