The MF® Continental Bermudas — a trouser pattern inspired by classic late 50s-mid 60s casual cotton slacks, blended with vintage insular fashions — were initially released with a graded inseam of ~10’’, falling approximately one inch above the knee, for a traditional “Bermuda Shorts” style, documented here.

I had gone on a custom cropping binge a few years back, and shortened all my Continental Bermudas to a 4’’~5’’ length. I find that proportion easier to wear for my frame, just personal preference.

If you lean more towards a 1953 Gary Cooper in Acapulco vibe than a 1973 Angus Young schoolboy get up, our COOPER treatment may be the ticket on these summer shorts!
We have hemmed a few pieces of MF® Continental Bermudas at a ~6 ½’’ inseam, not as short-short as the look I pull but going for a more conservative traditional mid-thigh cut.

Now, get out in the sun and show some skin if that’s your thing, look alive, and get your vitamin D while you’re at it!

This MF® garment is designed and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom®, in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.
