Product Insights
The Sebby Short Nt by Melbourne label ET AL is a unisex, knee-length wide-leg short built around a specific tradeoff: its 59% rayon/41% nylon shell breathes in humid heat and withstands 25,000+ abrasion cycles, draping in a clean line from hip to hem with an open hem that lets air circulate, yet the mid-weight woven wears warmer than cotton or linen and is dry-clean only—professional cleaning a washable short avoids. The back-elastic waistband flexes with heat-expanded waists and stays flat at the button-fly front, but sizing is ET AL's own 0–6 numeric scale and fit is set by the front waist; the wide leg relaxes from the hip down. At $399 AUD, it is the entry point to ET AL's bottoms range, undercutting the $479 Winston and $529 Pleat, but the price buys the rayon/nylon drape, dry-clean finish, and Melbourne tailoring—not the wide-leg shape itself, which appears in cheaper mass-market shorts. As a capsule piece from a label called Australia's answer to Comme des Garçons, it delivers an androgynous, relaxed-tailoring drape rather than versatile wash-and-wear ease.
Verified claims
- Material
- 59% rayon / 41% nylon: rayon breathes in heat; nylon adds strength and structure.
- Fabric
- Mid-weight woven with a smooth drape, not a light airy summer cloth.
- Drape
- Wide leg falls in a clean line from hip to hem, staying off the skin without billowing at the knee.
- Climate performance
- Wears warmer than cotton or linen, but breathes and stays off the skin in humid heat.
- Airflow
- Open wide-leg hem lets air circulate up the leg, keeping the breathable rayon off the skin.
- Dry cleaning
- Dry-clean only; rayon loses up to half its strength wet, and hand-washing risks shrinkage.
- Waistband comfort
- Chunky back elastic spreads waist tension and does all the flexing as the waist expands in heat.
- Durability
- 41% nylon gives the shell 25,000+ abrasion cycles, outlasting pure rayon.
- Care
- Dry Clean Only (P) means professional cleaning only — a recurring cost a washable short avoids.
- Waistband longevity
- Back elastic keeps its snap with dry cleaning; heat or overstretch degrades it.
- Wrinkle resistance
- The 59/41 blend creases less than pure rayon but can still wrinkle with wear.
- Size conversion
- Sizes 0–6 are ET AL's own numeric scale, not standard AU sizes
- Waistband construction
- Back-only elastic takes up stretch at the rear; the button-fly front stays flat.
- Size choice
- Pick the size whose front waist matches at the fly; back elastic is comfort margin, not closure help
- Wide-leg fit
- Knee-length wide-leg cut keeps the fit at the waist and hip; legs hang relaxed
- Waistband fit
- Size to the natural waist — the back elastic is comfort margin, not sizing forgiveness.
- Leg volume
- Wide-leg cut keeps fit tension at the waist and hip; thigh and hem hang relaxed
- Brand heritage
- Et Al, a Melbourne label since 1987, is designed by Project Runway Australia Season 2 winner Anthony Capon.
- House aesthetic
- Design signature: relaxed tailoring softened by drapery, mostly black, mix-and-match.
- Local production
- Patterns drafted in-house in Collingwood; a large share of production stays in Melbourne.
- Price position
- At $399 AUD, it undercuts Et Al's $479 WINSTON and $529 PLEAT shorts — far above the $20–50 mass-market band.
- Design intent
- Anthony Capon's androgynous vision launched Et Al menswear in 2013, after male clients demanded it; the Sebby inherits that unisex block.
- Unisex block
- The 0–6 scale is Et Al's own unisex numeric block; the wide leg keeps fit tension at waist and hip, not thigh.
- Androgynous aesthetic
- Fans call Et Al Australia's answer to Comme des Garçons; the black-stripe Sebby is a mix-and-match capsule piece in limited runs.
- Design identity
- Et Al is called Australia's answer to Comme des Garçons for shapes and textures.
- Silhouette
- Wide-leg, knee-length cut with a faint woven pinstripe.
- Price positioning
- At $399 AUD it is the entry point in ET AL's bottoms range, undercutting the $479 Winston and $529 Pleat
- Value proposition
- At $399, the price buys rayon/nylon drape, a dry-clean finish, and Melbourne tailoring, not the wide-leg shape itself
- Colorway
- Faint light-gray pinstripe on dark charcoal reads as texture, not a pattern.
- Capsule
- Works as a mix-and-match block in an all-black Et Al capsule.
- House DNA
- The Sebby carries Et Al's signature relaxed tailoring and soft drapery.
