Molecule Shortcuts Short Cargo Shorts

Molecule Shortcuts – short, close-fitting cargo shorts

Molecule Shortcuts 62009 are the shortest and most close-fitting shorts in Molecule’s range. The model combines six functional pockets and heavyweight cotton with a shorter, more streamlined fit than the brand’s traditional baggy cargo shorts.

Shortcuts are a good choice if you want the distinctive Molecule look without the longer legs and additional volume associated with many of the brand’s classic styles.

Short length and close-fitting cut

The shorts have a closer fit around the waist, hips and thighs. The legs finish above the knee, although the exact length will depend on your height, body shape and selected size.

This model runs small. Many customers will need to choose 1–2 sizes larger than they would in a regular-fitting style. Always use the garment measurements in the size guide and compare them with a pair of shorts that fit you well.

• 172 cm and 68 kg wears size Small
• 194 cm and 85 kg wears size Large

Height and weight are only a guide, as body shape and your preferred fit will also affect the size choice.

Heavyweight cotton with a stonewashed finish

Shortcuts are made from 100% heavyweight cotton. The substantial fabric gives the shorts a rugged cargo appearance, while the stonewashed finish creates a softer surface and Molecule’s characteristic lightly worn look.

The cotton can become softer and develop more character with continued wear and washing.

Six practical pockets

The shorts have six functional pockets, providing useful storage without making the design unnecessarily bulky:

• Two deep angled hand pockets
• Two flap-covered cargo pockets on the thighs
• Two flap-covered rear pockets

The cargo pockets sit relatively flat against the legs, while the closer cut gives the shorts a more compact and streamlined appearance than Molecule’s classic baggy shorts.

Adjustable waist and leg openings

Adjustment tabs at the sides allow the waist to be fine-tuned. Drawstrings at the leg openings can be tightened to gather the shorts slightly around the thighs or left loose for a straighter shape.

Short cargo style for everyday wear and warm weather

The shorter length makes Shortcuts suitable for warm weather, holidays, festivals, streetwear and everyday use. They provide the storage capacity of classic cargo shorts in a shorter, more fitted design.

The same type of fit in full-length trousers

If you like the closer fit and heavyweight cotton but prefer full-length trousers, Molecule Heavy Outdoors are the closest alternative in the Molecule range.
