Quaker Marine Supply’s Ventura short is the perfect all-day piece for warm days and cool nights. The short features deep patch pockets that ensure your cell phone and boat keys won’t slip out. Its side-seams are triple stitched. It has an elasticated waist for comfort, but dresses up easily with a belt. We labored over the length to make sure it was not too long or too short — landing at just the right amount of thigh.

Pair with just about any shirt in our line and a pair of espadrilles or topsiders if you must put something on your feet.
