Notes: An amazing pair of very early Patagonia Baggies Shorts from the mid-1980s. 58% cotton and 42% nylon exterior with a 100% nylon lining. Complete with mesh liner, waistband drawstring, two side pockets, and one rear snap pocket.

“A cross between two classics: traditional rugby shorts and loose-fitting swim trunks. The material is a cotton/supplex nylon bi-blend that dries quickly. We like them for swimming, surfing, beach volleyball, ultimate frisbee, sailing and river running. With wide legs for a full range of motion, these shorts feature an elasticized waist with drawstring, a nylon tricot inner brief, two deep on-seam side pockets with pea-sized drain holes, and a rear hip pocket that snaps shut. Put 'em on in May, take 'em off in September. Separate cuts for men and women. Expect shrinkage of 4% in length. Imported” (Patagonia, Spring 1987).

Please carefully review photos, description, and measurements before purchasing to ensure a proper fit and satisfaction. Packages are shipped in 100% compostable packaging.
Please note that items for sale are vintage/pre-owned in nature, with most being previously worn. Each garment is carefully inspected during the listing process for imperfections/flaws which are then photographed and/or noted in the item's description. See the “Condition Ratings” tab for more information.
Please refer to the measurements included in the description of each garment to ensure a proper fit, as vintage sizing frequently differs slightly from modern sizing. Sizes listed in the product title are based on the “best fits a” size rather than the tag size. To ensure a proper fit, we strongly recommend comparing the provided measurements to a similar garment of your own that fits to your liking. For more information, visit the “How to Measure” tab. All sales are final.
