Durable Militant Boardshorts

The Freenote Cloth Swimming Trucks Are Made With US Air Force Jackets

To provide a functional and durable set of swimming trucks that will last for summers to come, retailer Freenote Cloth has put together trunks constructed using the same cloth found in US Air Force flight coats. The material is upcycled to create these boardshorts, providing a comfortable and long-lasting wear.

The ultra-strength nylon fabric used in the short's design is repurposed from US Air Force jackets. The classic olive hue is maintained in the swimming trucks that are then lined with a speciality nylon finish, reinforced panelling along the interior and paired with Corozo belt buttons for a secure fit. A sleek string tie is also located along the waist for a more customized fit so the trucks stay secure through all sorts of water activities.
