Men's denim shorts are a crowded shelf, and most disappear after one summer. This Spitfire Shorts Denim Classic 87 review covers a piece that hasn't — stocked continuously across 10 independent boutiques, including skate shops like Select, for 16 months straight. That reorder rate signals genuine sell-through. The 'Classic 87' cut reads skate-rooted but not costume-y. Entry price sits at $45.50 on markdown.

Good: 16 months continuously in stock · Carried by 10 independent retailers · Marked down to $45.50 entry

Trade-offs: Denim runs heavier than twill alternatives · Price varies up to $80 by shop

About Spitfire
