When it comes to finding the perfect summer shorts, comfort matters. But so does what happens after you’ve worn and washed them again and again.
At Jimmy Browns, we make 100% cotton shorts for men and women that are designed for long summer days, slow mornings, weekends away and relaxing at home. They’re the kind of comfy shorts you can throw on first thing in the morning and still be wearing when the sun goes down.
But there’s another reason our customers keep their JBs in regular rotation: they’re made to last.
Comfortable Cotton Shorts, Without the Shrinking Surprise
There’s nothing worse than finding a pair of shorts you love, only to pull them out of the wash and discover they suddenly feel a little tighter — or noticeably shorter.
Cotton and other natural fibres like wool or silk naturally have a tendency to shrink when it’s first washed. Or require very specific wash setting (nothing worse than a piece you love that's hand wash only!!).
That’s why the cotton used in Jimmy Browns shorts is pre-shrunk before it is cut and made into your JBs.
Rather than leaving that initial shrinkage to happen in your washing machine, we take care of it during production.
The result is a pair of comfortable cotton shorts designed to maintain their fit, wash after wash.
Bold Summer Shorts That Stay Bold
Jimmy Browns has always been about colour and print.
From coastal-inspired designs to some of our much-loved signature prints, we want your shorts to look just as good after plenty of wear as they did when you first pulled them on.
That means paying attention not only to how our shorts look, but to the fabric and production processes behind them.
Our premium 100% cotton is designed for softness, breathability and durability, helping our prints stay vibrant through repeated washing.
And we’ve put that to the test.
New vs 50+ Washes: See the Difference
Take a look at the comparison below.
On one side is a brand-new pair of Jimmy Browns Tropicana in Charocal. On the other is a pair that has been machine washed more than 50 times.
Same vibrant colour. Same comfortable feel. Same reliable fit.

It’s one thing to say your shorts are made to last. We’d rather show you.
From Lounge Shorts to Summer Adventures
A great pair of lounge shorts shouldn’t be limited to the lounge.
Jimmy Browns are designed to take you from sunrise to sunset — whether that means coffee on the deck, a morning walk, working from home, heading to the beach, firing up the barbecue or packing for a summer holiday.
The breathable 100% cotton makes them particularly suited to warm Australian weather, while our elastic waistband, soft drawstring and practical pockets keep things comfortable.
For men, women and families, they’re an easy summer staple you can reach for again and again.
