Walk Shorts, Olde Navy

Strap on a pair of these cotton shorts and you'll feel right at home at Harvard in the 1960s. They're inspired by old school Ivy League styles and are on the shorter side, resting right above the top of the knee. Other features include a zip fly, preshrunk fabric, and single-welt back pockets.

Since 2005 Mollusk Surf Shop has been providing the San Franciscan beach scene with clothes and boards that have helped form the neighborhood's distinct style. In 10 short years the company's central surf shack has gone from a simple store to a nexus of creatives, where surfers and artists from the area come to cross-pollinate and further an always evolving community.
