Our Story

Hey, I’m Santhosh Chidambaram.

I’ve always been a shorts guy. While everyone was busy chasing trends, I just wanted the perfect pair of classic shorts - the kind that fits right, feels great, and works for everything. But no one in India was specializing in just shorts, so I decided to change that.

We’re obsessed with fabric. For every fabric we select, we reject 25. Only the best make the cut. And once we find it, we put it through the ultimate test - 30+ washes, no color fades, no shape shifts. If it doesn’t last, it doesn’t belong here.

After 7 months of obsessive testing, fabric hunting, and countless tweaks, we finally cracked the formula for the perfect fit.

If you believe in classics (and think you’re a classic yourself), you’ll love what we make.

Oh, and we’re always looking for people who get what we’re building. If that’s you, drop us a line at hello@theshortsproject.com
