I am just dying over these printed shorts, they look like mini volcanoes!

- MADE IN USA: The Blade + Blue shorts are made in limited runs right here in the the Bay Area of California. It is extremely important for me to keep things as close to home as I can. I really enjoy having a personal relationship with the people who help bring my ideas to life.

- TOP OF THE LINE FABRIC: It really does all start with fabric, there can be no compromising on quality here. But this year, I upped the ante.  For this season's printed shorts, I found these beautiful indigo dyed fabrics from Japan. They are made of 100% cotton - they kind of feel & look line linen but without the headache of all that wrinkling.

- A GREAT FIT:   OK, so this took a lot of time & thought! I wanted the shorts to have a streamlined, polished look.  But I didn't want you to feel stuffed into them like a sausage either! In order to get the balance right, I dropped the rise a little to give you some extra room (where it counts!). But I trimmed up the leg and cut them off at just over 7" - about an inch up from the knee.
