OBEY Commons Shorts

The OBEY Commons Shorts in Black Faded Wash offer a rugged, everyday option with a lived-in vintage character. The 7 oz cotton twill provides a substantial, heavy-duty handle without sacrificing the airflow necessary for summer comfort. Featuring a unique faded wash and a comfortable relaxed silhouette, they act as a dependable anchor for an active wardrobe, providing the structural integrity and mobility required for skating or urban wandering.

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily urban wear and skateboarding where the 7 oz cotton twill provides essential protection against surface abrasion.
• Building a contemporary streetwear rotation focused on relaxed, high-volume silhouettes and authentic wash treatments.
• Individuals seeking a durable alternative to lightweight synthetic shorts that maintains a crisp, workwear-inspired drape.
• Pairing with heavyweight organic cotton t-shirts, oversized hoodies, or classic canvas trainers for a cohesive, understated look.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These shorts feature a relaxed fit, offering a generous cut through the seat and thigh that provides a modern, slightly oversized profile.
• The 7 oz twill provides a structured drape that holds its shape perfectly, sitting at a regular waist height for a secure and comfortable feel.
  
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size for the intended relaxed look, as the cotton twill ensures a stable fit with minimal stretching over time.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle up to 40°C to preserve the cotton fibres and the specialised faded wash pigment.
• Wash the shorts inside out to protect the fabric surface and the back pocket label from excessive friction during the cycle.
• Hang the shorts to dry naturally in a shaded area; the 7 oz twill is designed to maintain its texture without the need for high-heat drying.
• Iron at a medium temperature if necessary to maintain the clean lines of the pocket welts and the hem.
• Avoid the use of bleach or harsh detergents, which can compromise the durability of the cotton and cause uneven fading of the washed finish.

Our OBEY Commons Shorts FAQs

1. What is the benefit of a "Shank Button" closure?
   Unlike standard buttons, a shank button is much more durable and resistant to popping off, making it ideal for the rigours of skating or heavy daily wear.

2. Is the 7 oz fabric heavy for summer?
   No, it is considered a perfect midweight, providing more substance than a basic jersey short while remaining breathable enough for peak summer heat.

3. Will the faded wash continue to change?
   Like all high-quality washed denim and twill, these shorts will continue to develop a personalised character and patina the more you wear and wash them.

4. How long are these shorts?
   The relaxed fit is designed to sit comfortably at or just above the knee for most heights, providing a classic streetwear silhouette.
