Tailored Performance

Running is a study in contrasts: a sport steeped in history but with the purpose to keep moving forward. It’s grounded in heritage, and yet it steers us onward. And the best running gear reflects this philosophy – honoring tradition while embracing innovation. Inspired by this duality, we combined a classic silhouette and timeless details – like a zip fly waistband finished with a horn button – with modern materials to make a refined running short that’s tailored, timeless and technical. Meet the Founder’s Short.

  • A casual performance short crafted to keep up with the life of a runner
  • Tailored style with a fly, horn button, and exposed racing stripe waistband
  • Crafted from a lightweight, four-way stretch, water-repellant fabric blend
  • Made without a liner to minimize bulk and maximize versatility
  • Two hand pockets and one hidden zip pocket
  • Body Fabric: 90% Nylon / 10% Elastane, 110gsm
  • Water-Repellant
  • Quick-Drying
  • Bluesign®-Certified
  • Machine was warm with like colors. Do not bleach. Do not use softeners. Lay flat to dry. Low iron, if needed.
  • A refined linerless silhouette with a 6” inseam and an elasticated waistband, inspired by the now-retired Falmouth Shorts and Longfellow Shorts.

Key Features

Our Signature Short

The Founder’s Short is unmistakably Tracksmith – inspired by tradition, polished and performance-ready, complete with classic brand details. Featuring an elasticated waist with our signature racing stripe on show, a full fly and zip, and a modest 6” inseam to marry athletic and aesthetic.

Lighten Up

The fabric in the Founder’s Short leverages the unparalleled technical success that we found with the Falmouth and Longfellow Shorts. Soft, stretchy and super lightweight, they dry in a snap – perfect for performance, post-run errands, and packing light for summer travel.

Storage Solutions

True to its intention as a versatile short for everyday wear, the Founder's Short features two hand pockets at the hip, as well as a subtle and secure zip pocket for storing valuables on the run.
