Show your patriotic colors with these fun vintage 70s shorts. They are high waist and quite short in the legs, so they're perfect for sunny summer days.
The sturdy bright white cotton feels like denim, and is decorated with royal blue and cherry red stripes, complete with stars. They have a long button fly and stitched-in-place cuffs. There are no front pockets, but you get two decent sized back pockets (that are 4”, or most of a cell phone deep).

Condition

Some general softness from age and laundering.
There is some fade noticeable in the blue stripe that runs down the wearer's right leg. Other color fade can be seen when pulling the cuff down, as shown.
There is a little fray to some of the fabric edges, like at the under turned edges of the belt loops, and the edges of the fabric folded into the inside of the pockets. I've trimmed them for now, but more may appear after a few wears and washings.
The edges of the button holes have a little fray, too. They were only zigzag surged when made, and not fully bound in thread.
It has been freshly laundered.
