Ocean Blues 5-Inch Pocket Board Shorts

You get a short that ends at mid-thigh, a 5-inch inseam, with a mesh panel down each side for air and a triangle brief sewn in, so they go on over nothing. The waist is high. The fabric stretches four ways and dries quickly. Navy only, and cut like a running short rather than a swim skirt.

Measure the waist, because that is where the band holds, and then the thigh, because the mesh panel sits there; the run is M, L and 2XL. Rinse the pockets out under cold water after a swim, no bleach, and dry them flat rather than on the line, where the weight of the wet brief pulls the waist out of shape.

One of 7 on the swim shorts and skirts rail in the Ocean Blues swim drawer. It also answers to board shorts, high waisted swimwear. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
