Men's Shorts with Zip Pockets, in Every Style
You sit down at the beach, the pub or the footy, and your keys slide out of your pocket. We've all been there. That's why every pair of Frankster shorts comes with our signature hidden zip pocket.
It's tucked away so you won't notice it, but it keeps your keys, card and cash zipped in and secure. Whatever style you pick, from chinos to cargos to swim shorts, the zip pocket comes standard.
Why Zip Pocket Shorts Make Life Easier
Nothing falls out: Sit, squat, climb into the car or chase the kids. Your essentials stay put.
Safer on the move: A zipped pocket is harder to pick than an open one, which helps at festivals, markets and busy airports.
Leave the bag at home: Deep front pockets plus a secure zip pocket means one less thing to carry.
Clean look: The zip is hidden, so your shorts look sharp, not like hiking gear.
