When the warm weather calls for living easy and freedom of movement, shorts are the perfect informal style essential. These no-fuzz regular fit bermuda shorts are made of lightweight Cotton patchwork with Madras pattern they feature: elastic waistband, zip fly and button closure, two front bias pockets, two back flap pockets, and a Sebago Docksides personalized flag label on the back. The Tidal shorts owe their name to the significant tidal movement that Maine experiences every day, flowing up and down the shoreline, the beach and in the rivers that flow to the ocean. The name Madras derives from Madras patnam, the site chosen by the British East India Company for a permanent settlement in 1639.
