Thom Browne RWB Horizontal Satin Mesh Stripe Drawstring Shorts – Olive Grey
Thom Browne — RWB Horizontal Satin Mesh Stripe Drawstring Shorts | Olive Grey
Thom Browne's RWB satin and mesh stripe short in a warm olive grey — a muted, military-adjacent tone that gives the piece a more utilitarian, outdoors-inflected character than the navy version while retaining the same precise construction and house detail language. The olive grey base references the brand's ongoing dialogue with American workwear and military tradition, filtered through Thom Browne's rigorous tailoring sensibility.
The defining detail is a horizontal double-stripe panel at the hem of both legs — running straight across the lower leg in a clean, architectural placement that differs from the diagonal configuration of the navy version. The double stripe is composed of two distinct materials: a red satin ribbon stripe and a deep navy mesh / net ribbon stripe — the red and blue elements of the house's RWB tricolor sequence, rendered in contrasting textile surfaces. The satin ribbon reads with a soft sheen; the mesh ribbon reads as open and perforated — the two materials creating a visual and material contrast within a single, clean horizontal stripe composition.
The back carries a single welt patch pocket at the right hip — a functional construction detail that adds utility and gives the back panel a more structured, workwear-derived character. At the back waistband, the red, white, and blue grosgrain loop tab anchors the piece to the full Thom Browne RWB detail language. The elasticated waistband with a grey drawcord completes the construction.

Styling Notes
The olive grey base pairs naturally with white, navy, camel, and stone tones — making this the most versatile colorway in the Thom Browne stripe short lineup for transitional and autumn dressing. Wear with a Thom Browne RWB tipped white or grey tee for a full house look. The horizontal stripe placement reads as a clean, architectural detail from the front and back. The back patch pocket adds a functional, workwear-derived character. Finish with clean white sneakers, Thom Browne loafers, or Oxford shoes.
