Organic Cotton Long Short – Comfort That Grows With Them

Our super soft, oversized Long Short is made for movement, comfort, and longevity — everything we believe kids' clothing should be. With a longer length, extended crotch, and wider body, this style is all about letting little ones move freely while leaving room for growth.

Made from a breathable blend of 70% organic cotton and 30% cotton, each pair is naturally mineral dyed and completely non-toxic — kind to sensitive skin and gentle on the planet. The elasticated drawstring waistband makes dressing easy and ensures a secure, flexible fit, season after season.

On 2–3 year olds, it fits like a culotte pant. As they grow, it becomes a relaxed short that’s just as wearable and just as loved.


Key Features:

  • Organic Cotton Blend: Made from 70% organic cotton, 30% cotton — soft, breathable, and naturally durable.
  • Sustainable & Non-Toxic: Mineral dyed with safe, non-toxic materials that protect both kids and the planet.
  • Oversized Fit: Designed with extra length and width for all-day comfort and room to grow.
  • Adjustable Waist: Elastic waistband with drawstring for a secure, comfy fit.
  • Perfect for play, naps, adventures, and everything in between — our Long Short is a wardrobe essential that adapts as your child grows.


Why You’ll Love It:

  • Freedom to Move: Extended crotch and wide shape give kids the room they need.
  • Planet-Friendly: Made with low-impact dyes and organic cotton.
  • Built to Last: Designed to fit beautifully across seasons and stages.
