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
The relaxed-fit, drop-crotch silhouette drapes as a slouch from the hip on a regular-height body, 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 a contemporary Melbourne designer label, not full 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
Fabric drape
The rayon in the wool/rayon/polyester shell gives the drop-crotch a fluid, silk-like drape, so it hangs in a soft curved column through the seat and thigh instead of standing in stiff panels.
Waistband construction
The waist is a drawstring only; no hidden elastic is specified.
Stretch
The main wool/rayon/polyester fabric has no elastane listed, so the cloth itself has minimal stretch; the drawstring waist provides the adjustability.
Wrinkle resistance
The polyester content gives the fabric wrinkle resistance and shape retention, so the drop-crotch volume recovers from sitting and packing rather than collapsing into crushed creases.
Steam refresh
Between dry cleans, steaming is a gentler way to refresh the fabric than water-based spot-cleaning, but dry cleaning remains the safe default.
