Bermuda types and fits
The category includes cargo bermuda shorts with a loose fit, bermuda shorts with slant pockets in a slim fit, and five-pocket denim shorts. Cargo models feature functional side pockets, an elasticated back waistband for adaptability, and a zip fly closure. The loose fit ensures freedom of movement and comfort in warm weather conditions, with lengths covering the knee while maintaining balanced proportions. Bermuda shorts with slant pockets offer a more tailored silhouette with a slim fit, low waist, regular rise, and a 25.5 cm leg opening. These models integrate an adjustable strap and a visible button with an extended waistband for sartorial detailing. Denim shorts maintain the classic five-pocket construction with a zip fly, a polyurethane patch on the back waistband, and silver-tone metal finishes with reinforced rivets.
Summer materials and fabrics
The selection favors 100% cotton and garment-dyed lightweight cotton gabardine with 2% elastane for added stretch. Organic cotton ensures natural breathability, moisture absorption, and softness against the skin, ideal for high temperatures. Cotton gabardine features a compact diagonal weave that offers wear resistance while remaining light and fresh. The garment-dyed treatment ensures uniform and long-lasting colors that maintain intensity even after repeated washing. The addition of elastane (2%) in Entre Amis models provides controlled elasticity that facilitates movement without compromising the fabric's structure. The compact 190g/m² summer fabrics balance robustness and lightness, making them suitable for both urban and outdoor settings.
Color palette and occasions
The color range spans from classic neutral tones like white, camel, navy blue, and black to more vibrant nuances like green, cobalt blue, sky blue, brown sugar, and blue jeans. Neutral colors facilitate versatile pairings with polo shirts, T-shirts, linen shirts, and casual footwear. The more distinct shades add vibrancy to summer compositions while maintaining sobriety. Cargo bermuda shorts are suitable for casual contexts, weekends, and outdoor activities thanks to their functional pockets and comfortable fit. Slant pocket models in a slim fit are suitable for summer smart casual, aperitifs, and informal occasions that require more attention to attire. Denim shorts offer maximum versatility, working in multiple contexts thanks to their classic construction and refined finishes.
Construction details and functionality
Cargo bermuda shorts integrate an elasticated back waistband that allows for an anatomical fit without the need for a belt, spacious side pockets for personal items, and woven labels identifying the brand. Slant pocket models feature an adjustable strap with belt loops, a visible button with an extended waistband ensuring a secure closure, and sartorial details such as reinforced stitching and finished hems. Denim shorts maintain a polyurethane back patch for durability, metal rivets at stress points, and silver finishes that add character. These construction features ensure seasonal durability and the ability to maintain shape even with frequent use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between loose and slim fit in bermuda shorts?
The loose fit offers greater freedom of movement with a wider leg, comfortable rise, and relaxed silhouette, ideal for casual contexts and high temperatures. The slim fit features a more fitted leg, low waist, and proportions closer to the body, making it suitable for smart casual compositions that require cleaner lines. The choice depends on the occasion of use and personal comfort preferences.
How to wash cotton bermuda shorts?
100% cotton bermuda shorts can be machine washed at 40°C on a normal cycle. Stretch gabardine models with elastane require temperatures no higher than 30°C to preserve elasticity. Avoid high-temperature tumble drying to prevent shrinkage. Iron at medium temperatures (up to 150-200°C) if necessary. Garment-dyed models maintain stable coloring even after repeated washing.
What is the length of the bermuda shorts?
Bermuda shorts feature lengths that cover the knee or stop slightly above. Entre Amis models have a 26 cm inseam and a 25.5 cm leg opening. Edwin cargo models maintain balanced proportions with lengths suitable for a loose fit. The actual length varies based on size and the wearer's height.
Are cargo bermuda shorts only suitable for informal contexts?
Cargo bermuda shorts are primarily suitable for casual contexts, weekends, and outdoor activities thanks to their functional pockets and comfortable fit. They can be elevated with structured polo shirts, linen shirts, and refined footwear for a relaxed summer smart casual look, but still maintain an informal identity due to the patch pockets and wide silhouette.
What are the differences between Edwin and Entre Amis?
Edwin offers bermuda shorts with a loose fit, Japanese workwear inspiration, organic cotton, and functional details like cargo pockets and back elastics. Entre Amis offers Italian sartorial bermuda shorts in stretch gabardine with a slim fit, low waist, refined details like the strap and visible button, and constructions that favor clean lines. Edwin leans towards relaxed casual, while Entre Amis leans towards summer smart casual.
How do denim shorts compare to gabardine models?
Denim offers a more robust structure, characteristic texture, and the ability to develop patinas with use. Gabardine is lighter, more breathable, and more formal thanks to its compact diagonal weave. Denim is suitable for casual looks with T-shirts and sneakers, while gabardine is suited for more refined compositions with polo shirts and loafers. Both guarantee durability but with different aesthetics and occasions of use.
