The Sunset Short, as the story goes, traces its roots back to traditional Rugby shorts or 'scrum' shorts, but over time extra length, and some extra volume in the leg courtesy of the single pleat front, have resulted in a pair of shorts more dressy than casual.

In Blackwatch Cotton Linen, a classic check if ever there was one, EG have elevated the humble rugby short into a piece of timeless charm. Wear with tongue in cheek.
