Product Details
The Stussy Big Basic Water Shorts Black is one of the pieces people search for by name, and it earns that. Big Basic carries the largest logo treatment of the water shorts, so it reads as Stussy from a distance. Black holds the print at its sharpest and hides everyday wear, which is why it sells first across almost every Stussy line. Water shorts use a synthetic fabric that sheds water instead of holding it, so they dry in minutes rather than staying heavy. Forty years on, the logo still works because it was never designed to be fashionable. It is one man's handwriting, so it does not date the way a styled wordmark does.
Fit. Relaxed cut sitting around mid-thigh, with an elasticated drawcord waist that gives room within each size. US sizing, so order your usual size.
Styling. The drawcord waist means no belt and no pressure points sitting down.
Care. Rinse in fresh water after the sea or a chlorinated pool, since salt and chlorine both break down synthetic fabric over a season. Machine wash cold on gentle and air dry in shade. Never tumble dry or iron, as heat melts synthetic fibres.
