The shorts from the brand Jack & Jones

Jack & Jones, the Danish denim from the Bestseller group

Jack & Jones was founded in 1990 in Denmark, within Bestseller, the ready-to-wear company established in 1975 by Troels Holch Povlsen in Brande, Jutland. From the start, the brand has built itself around denim, the cornerstone of its men's collections, and this expertise is reflected in its denim shorts, available in various washes, from raw blue to light blue. The brand complements this foundation with chino shorts and loungewear, as well as a junior line for boys and a plus size range designed for larger builds, including those of big lads.

Shorts are also available by brand:

Denim shorts, chinos or bermudas: three Jack & Jones styles

The denim short is the most casual piece: its legs stop above the knee, sometimes rolled up, and its thick denim wears down over the summers. The chino short, made from cotton twill often slightly stretchy, offers a more polished look with its belt loops and angled pockets. The bermuda, longer, extends to the knee and is suitable for outings as well as children, who appreciate its freedom of movement. The choice depends on the use: denim for the weekend, chinos for the city, bermudas for active days.

Slim or regular fit: choose your Jack & Jones size

The brand often offers its shorts in various fits: the slim fits snugly on the thigh, while the regular provides more room. You measure your waist and check the guide, which often expresses sizes in inches, noted as W, for denim and chino models. Denim without elastane remains firm in the first days and then slightly loosens: it's better to choose a well-fitted size. For care, wash a denim short inside out at 30 degrees, with dark colours, to preserve its indigo hue, and avoid the tumble dryer, which shrinks cotton.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Jack & Jones brand come from?

From Denmark, where it was launched in 1990 by the family group Bestseller, based in Brande. It has made a name for itself in Europe thanks to its denim and modern men's fits.

Are Jack & Jones fits narrow?

The brand's slim fits are snug on the thighs: a sporty build should consider opting for a larger size or choosing a regular fit. The size guide remains the best referee before ordering.

Are there Jack & Jones shorts in plus size?

Yes, the brand offers a plus size line with wider fits at the waist and thighs, not just enlarging a standard model. It suits larger builds, common among rugby players.

How to prevent denim shorts from bleeding?

Wash them alone or with dark colours in the beginning, in cold water or at 30 degrees, turned inside out. Spacing out washes and airing out the shorts between wears also helps preserve the indigo longer.

What should I choose for a boy, shorts or bermudas?

The bermuda, which falls to the knee, offers better protection from scrapes during play and looks more dressed up. The short, being shorter, is cooler in hot weather: many parents opt for both for summer.
