The DIAS Shorts – Now Revamped for 2025!

The ultimate Do-It-All adventure shorts just got better! The DIAS shorts pattern has been fully updated with refined illustrated instructions to guide you every stitch of the way. Featuring deep inseam pockets, a full crotch gusset for unrestricted movement, and customizable back pocket options, these shorts are built for anything—hiking, running, paddling, or just kicking back.

With precision-drafted patterns for both 5" and 7" inseams, layered PDFs, and a new fit customization guide, you can dial in the perfect pair for your next adventure.
