Vintage Playground. Three Colorways.
A 100% cotton crepe track-style short with double white side-stripes and an elastic waist. Available in Cotton Candy (dusty pink), Firecracker (fire-engine red), and Blue Ribbon (cornflower blue) — the full red-white-and-blue story in a single silhouette.
Material Integrity — 100% cotton crepe. Crepe is made using high-twist yarns, which gives the fabric its characteristic textured, slightly crinkled, drier hand. It's intentionally different from the smooth, soft feel of cotton jersey or poplin — that texture is what gives crepe its drape, breathability, and structured-yet-fluid silhouette. Crepe is one of the more breathable cotton constructions. The high-twist yarns create a slightly open, textured surface, so air circulates well and the fabric doesn't cling to the skin. Combined with cotton's natural breathability and moisture absorption, it makes the racer short a strong warm-weather piece.
Built to Last — A track-short construction proven on school playgrounds for fifty years. Stitching that holds, waistband that gives, color that stays crisp wash after wash.
Made to Mix — Pairs with every printed tee in the Golden Days summer collection. The workhorse bottom of the capsule.
Everyday Fit — Elastic waist, sized 12–18m through 6–7y. Note: 100% cotton may shrink slightly after first wash — size up for a roomier, longer-lasting fit.
Three colorways, one nostalgic silhouette. Cotton Candy is the dusty pink of a paper cup at a county fair. Firecracker is the proper primary red of a popsicle wrapper, a fire-truck toy, a summer flag. Blue Ribbon is the medium blue of a first-place ribbon at the county fair. Each runs a white double stripe down the side, finished with a printed b+b waistband tag.
100% cotton runs honest — expect a touch of first-wash shrink, which is why sizing up gives you a forever-fit. After that first cycle, these are long-haul staples built to be worn, washed, and passed down.
Care: Machine wash cold, line dry. Avoid bleach and high heat.
Fit: Everyday fit with elastic waist. Sizes 12–18m, 18–24m, 2–3y, 4–5y, 6–7y. Sizing up recommended for first-wash shrink. Available in Cotton Candy, Firecracker, and Blue Ribbon.
Boutique Buyer Notes: The racer short is our single highest-volume bottom — it pairs with every tee in the collection and reads as a vintage sportswear nod that boutiques can merchandise alongside athletic-inspired pieces. The three-colorway lineup gives you a ready-made pink/red/blue display for patriotic-holiday moments (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day) plus year-round stocking. Cotton Candy is the softest gateway colorway for customers new to the brand; Firecracker and Blue Ribbon round out the trio for full-story merchandising. Women-owned, not on Amazon.
