Relaxed comfort. Refined style.
The Malibu Short is designed for effortless comfort, whether you're heading away for the weekend, enjoying a coastal escape or simply embracing a relaxed day closer to home. As part of the exclusive David Smith California Coastal Collection, it combines premium craftsmanship with timeless design to create a short you'll reach for season after season.
Every Malibu Short begins with luxurious premium Portuguese terry knit, expertly knitted in Portugal before being carefully crafted by David Smith's long-standing manufacturing partners in Nepal. The result is a fabric that is exceptionally soft, breathable and comfortable, with a refined finish that feels every bit as premium as it looks.
Designed with a comfortable 7-inch inseam and a more generous rise than our Kirra Short, the Malibu Short offers a relaxed fit that moves naturally with you throughout the day. An elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawstring provides a personalised fit, while two secure YKK zip side pockets keep your everyday essentials close at hand.
Wear the Malibu Short with the matching Pasadena Jacket or Carmel Half Zip for a coordinated look, or pair it effortlessly with your favourite David Smith polo or T-shirt.
Produced in limited quantities, the Malibu Short reflects David Smith's commitment to premium comfort, exceptional craftsmanship and timeless Australian design.
