Unleash the cosmopolitan within you with The Urbanites. These are Frankster grey stretch cotton men's chino shorts. They're as versatile as your urban escapades, matching with any outfit from your wardrobe. Not all heroes wear capes. They’re ready to back you up no matter where the day (or night) takes you.

Fabric & Fit

Our Shorts are 98% cotton, 2% spandex, and 100% ready for whatever you throw at them.

They are garment-dyed, which is fancy-Shorts-speak for produced with minimal chemicals and water wastage.

So in other words they feel good, stretch good, and do good.

The Urbanites fit true to size and are designed to be mid-length and hit above-the-knee.

That strapping bloke you’re looking at is Jeremy. At 5’11” and 77kgs, he is wearing a size M.

Details

We’ve packed in the good stuff:

  • Partly elasticated waistband and a super comfortable fit.
  • High-quality zipper with some cheeky Frankster branding (if anyone is close enough to see this, you’re in for a good night).
  • Two large side-pockets. Plus a secret zippered pocket on the right-hand side so you never lose your valuables. Big enough to fit the latest iPhone or Android - no judgement here.
  • A pocket at the back
  • Belt loops on the waistband for those times you wanna jazz it up with a belt (be it for office showdowns or wedding throw-downs).
Put On, Do Good, Give Back
  • Designed in Australia, our Shorts are made from certified cotton and are ethically produced from start to finish.
  • We donate 10% of our profits to Movember. This comes out of our pocket. Not yours!
Care

At Frankster, we’re low maintenance.

Slide into your Frankster Shorts day in, day out. And for a fresh feel, pop them in the wash at or below 30º. Then let them air-dry.

Avoid hot washing and tumble drying to protect the fit and finish of your Shorts.

Delivery from AUS to UK was great, Quality just perfect!

Delivery from AUS to UK was great. Quality of shorts are superb, so soft, have some stretch to them, high quality look and feel, plus a lightweight material, not thick stiff cotton in some other brands which I hate! I am sure ill be wearing these for a minimum of 20 years, no joe. Love the fit, elasticated part but whilst wearing with a belt will be great as a smarter option as well! Looking forward to wearing on my travels in China next week, and keeping cool in them in Bangkok on the way home! Maybe the most travelled Franksters in the next few weeks!? I will be buying more now, white and black I am thinking. Get yours quick, you wont look back!

Unobtrusive Security Features

The shorts are very comfortable and I particularly like the security features. The spare front pocket with a zipper is big enough to contain my mobile phone and no-one is going to take anything from your back pocket without a decent struggle and a lot of noise getting the Velcro separated.

Brilliant Shorts

I’ve recently discovered Frankster shorts and bought the Everyday pair in olive green. I have to say, they’re one of the best pairs of shorts I’ve owned. The fit is excellent, the brushed cotton feels soft yet durable, and they’re versatile enough to dress up or down depending on the occasion.

It’s rare to find something that’s both comfortable and well made, but these really are. I’ll definitely be buying another pair, and probably trying another colour as well. An excellent product that I’d happily recommend.

Haven't taken them off since they arrived

I’ve recently lost about 10kg’s and a few centimetres from the waste, so of course, I was in the market for some new shorts. I’d seen Frankster shorts advertised and took a dive to see what all the hype was about. Now I know…I ordered 2 pairs (Everyday L) and the fit and comfort is perfect. I love the elastic piece in the waist and the extra button in front. About to head off on an extended overseas trip and my two pairs of Franksters will be first thing in the bag.

Very comfortable and I love the secret pocket

Very comfortable and I love the secret pocket. Having said that I don’t like the Velcro securing the back pocket. I’d much rather button. The sizing is generous which made it difficult for me being a perfect 33. I wasn’t sure whether to go for the 32 or the 34. I went to 34 but might try a 32 next time. I’ll definitely buy again.

Just the right fit

Just the right fit, most comfortable pair of shorts i have ever owned. If anything leg could be a little shorter, but not by much. Now if only they made long pants just as comfortable
