Notes: An extremely rare pair of early vintage Patagonia Belted River Shorts from 1989 in amazing very lightly worn preowned condition.

“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).
