J. Crew Zig Zag Cotton Shorts

The perfect summer shorts, made from lightweight cotton with a classic fit. True story: the ikat was developed in the Bhoodan Pochampally region of southern India, where local artisans have been creating distinctive zigzag ikats for hundreds of years. To make this one, individual yarns were tied by hand with rubber bands and then dipped in a custom-colored vat of dye, so no two will be exactly alike. Cotton. Zip fly. Machine wash.
