Product Insights
The Byron Button Short Wo from ET AL, a Melbourne designer label's menswear line ET AL MAN, is a drop-crotch short with a slouchy drape from the hip that reads shorter in the leg; a drawstring adjusts the rise higher or lower, and sizing down removes the drape. Made from a mid-weight wool/rayon/polyester tailored cloth with cotton, it feels smooth and soft, drapes silk-like, and holds shape, while rayon's moisture wicking and the drop-crotch air gap make it wear cooler than a polyester-only short. The functional button fly and drawstring control (tightening raises the waist and hem, loosening drops it) support a customizable fit across sizes 0-7 mapping to 28-42-inch waists. At 449 AUD, it matches a secondhand Boris Bidjan Saberi drop-crotch short and undercuts a 540 AUD tropical-wool alternative, positioning it as contemporary designer rather than avant-garde. The main tradeoff: dry-clean only, since rayon loses half its strength when wet, and cleaning every 4-6 wears preserves drape, but rayon may soften and relax over time; the mid-weight cloth is trans-seasonal to cool-weather, not for hot summer, though the drop-crotch adds airflow. Notably, this short lacks the factory or wool certifications carried by the label's Jet Shorts.
Verified claims
- Silhouette
- On a regular-height body the drop-crotch drapes as a slouch from the hip, reading shorter in the leg; sizing down removes that drape.
- Fit
- Sizes 0-7 map to 28-42-inch waists in 2-inch steps; the drawstring alone adjusts the rise higher or lower from the natural waist.
- Material
- Main is a wool/rayon/polyester mid-weight tailored cloth with cotton — rayon drapes silk-like and polyester holds its shape.
- Care
- Dry-clean only — rayon loses half its strength when wet, and cleaning every 4-6 wears protects the drape.
- Warm-weather wear
- The drop-crotch air gap adds breathability, and rayon's moisture absorption makes it wear cooler.
- Price positioning
- At 449 AUD it matches a secondhand Boris Bidjan Saberi drop-crotch short and undercuts a 540 AUD tropical-wool alternative.
- Hand feel
- The wool/rayon/polyester blend feels smooth and soft rather than scratchy.
- Breathability
- Rayon wicks moisture and the drop-crotch vents, so it wears cooler than a polyester-only short.
- Fabric weight
- Mid-weight tailored cloth — trans-seasonal to cool-weather, not summer or heavy winter.
- Drape durability
- Repeated dry cleaning preserves shape, but rayon may soften and relax the drape.
- Moisture management
- Rayon wicks sweat and cools the shell, but its water affinity is why the short is dry-clean only.
- Seasonality
- Mid-weight trans-seasonal cloth — not for hot summer days, but the drop-crotch adds airflow and rayon wicks moisture.
- Provenance
- Byron lists no factory or wool certification; the Jet Shorts carry GOTS/REACH.
- Design positioning
- Made by ET AL MAN, ET AL's dedicated menswear line; classed as contemporary designer, not avant-garde.
- Drawstring control
- Tightening raises the waist and hem; loosening drops the short lower on the hip.
- Design origin
- ET AL is a Melbourne-designed boutique label with a Flinders Lane storefront.
- Menswear vertical
- Merchandised under ET AL MAN, the label's dedicated menswear program.
- Button fly
- Front buttons unfasten to open the fly — functional, not decorative
