Finch Shorts feature full pleats, button details (but no buttonholes!), cuffed bottoms and an elastic back waistband. The coordinating Finch Top has a racerback style that allows for plenty of arm movement for swinging from tree branches. An oversized bow artfully disguises the hook and loop closure on one shoulder.
Suggested Fabrics:
The Finch Shorts work well with cotton twill, linen, and most other mid-weight woven fabric.
The Finch Top works well with cotton, linen or other light- to mid-weight woven fabric. The bow is made in the contrasting lining fabric.
