Oblique Shorts - High Twist Linen Serge/Light Grey Stripe
MotivMFG is headed by Samuel Wei, founder of Radiance Blue and the pioneer of the heritage market in China; and Daniel Gu, a third-generation tailor and designer. Together, they combine old-world tailoring (from various antique European manuals) with workwear production techniques. Constant research into garment production techniques around the world informs their design, with the goal of creating “recreations” rather than “reproductions” The Oblique Shorts an a very covertly complicated garment, in that their understated appearance hides the incredible tailoring details that they're just packed with. These are Motiv's take on an Eastern "Mien" fly construction, with a high rise, wide leg fit and two inverted pleats down the front that remind one of gurkha shorts. The waistband is secured with a wrapped front fly and integrated D-ring belt, allowing these to adjust through the waist and comfortably fit a significant range across each size without ever looking too large or too small.
