The Flannels: spruce up your style
The colder months are perfect to spruce up your style. Add layers and accessories such as a knitted cardigan and a cashmere scarf. But obviously, the trousers you put on are the foundation of any marvelous autumn & winter outfit.
We recommend The Flannels for those who like to stand out. Made from 97% organic cotton and 3% elastane, The Flannels are both extremely good looking and very comfortable. The soft woven fabric is slightly milled and raised, giving The Flannels a grand and warm look. And that’s exactly what The Flannels are: grand and warm.
You will recognise The Flannels by the premium look of the fabric, the two subtle outward facing pleats on the front panel, the herringbone pocketing fabric and the metal MR MARVIS octagon emblem next to the right back pocket. For this new introduction, we’ve replaced the velcro closing of the back pockets with small magnets for your convenience and to protect the fine fabric. Spruce up your style with The Flannels.

The Short Easies
The Pinnacle of Comfort
Meet the summum of ‘easy’, the pinnacle of comfort, the ultimate spring & summer essential you didn’t even know you were looking for. Allow us to introduce to you the short version of The Easies.
Super soft, extremely stretchy, very good looking, and... it’s a short! Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning and putting on these stunners? Imagine going to a BBQ or drinks in the park wearing these attention-grabbers? Imagine wearing the short version of The Easies and doing absolutely nothing? Doesn’t sound too bad right?
Since we now all know that this is the short you were waiting for, we launch this beauty - straight from the start - in seven (!) colours, making it one of our biggest launches ever. Will you go for one of the blues, or do you prefer our range of greys? Or are you feeling more outgoing and will you go for a brighter one? In any case, we suggest you do get too comfortable with the short version of The Easies.
Fit & Looks
Well, here we can keep it short: we’ve cut off the legs of the longer version of The Easies. This makes them less (home) office-ready, but even more weekend, spring & summer proof!
They feel even more comfortable than they look: can you believe it? The short Easies come in a slim cut with slightly lower rise and wider legs. The knitted fabric is super soft and - with 10% elastane - extremely stretchy. Next to the elastane, the high quality fabric consists of 73% organic cotton and 17% polyamide. Just like it’s longer counterpart.
Also the short Easies come with our iconic hidden pocket with branded puller. To complete the design, we added the subtle MR MARVIS tab label and our sophisticated octagon, embroidered on the bottom hem in a matching shade.
We told you these are the ultimate spring & summer essentials...

Earn your stripes
Meet The Short Seersuckers
The Short Seersuckers are smart, striped, lightweight, and breezy: perfect for warm to hot days.
Seersucker is a textured type of fabric, often with a subtle stripe. Because the warp yarns that run up and down are interwoven at different tensions, a wrinkled effect appears during the finishing process. This natural wrinkled effect creates pockets of space that enhance air circulation and breathability making the fabric perfect for MR MARVIS shorts. The Short Seersuckers are handmade in Portugal from 100% organic cotton.
We selected four stunning colours to pair a white stripe: light blue, dark blue, light grey and subtle pink. These classic combo’s look as sophisticated today, as ever.
Milk & Sugar
Seersucker was invented in India and was named shir-o-shekar: milk and sugar. If you look closely at the texture of the two stripes you’ll be able to spot one smooth – milk – and one rougher – sugar – pinstripe.
Breathability and lightweightness are key characteristics of the fabric, making them popular in warmer climates including the British colonies early 20th century. Starting as fabric for the working-class, it later was embraced by dapper misters, actually for the same key characteristics: air circulation and breathability. Most likely you can now understand why seersucker and MR MARVIS shorts are a match made in heaven.
Why, When, and How to Wear
The Short Seersuckers are very easy-to-wear. The fabric is non iron because of the pre-wrinkled effect, which makes them perfect for travelling on long flights and road trips.
This variation on MR MARVIS’ The Originals is a great lightweight option for those long hot days and warm summer nights. Wear them poolside, on the coast or in the city: when you’re walking in the overwhelming heat you will appreciate these slim-fit shorts even more. Pair them with a shirt of complimenting material, casual to smart sneakers and your favourite sunglasses for a careless yet sophisticated summer look.
“The Short Seersuckers are a marvellous addition to your summer wardrobe.” - MR MARVIS

The Originals vs. The Piqués - The differences explained
The Fabric
The Originals are made of a stretch cotton blend (99% cotton and 1% elastane), with an unmatched super soft finish. Our fabric is Oeko-Tex certified, meaning that the fabric is produced in a sustainable way.The Piqués are named after the fabric they're made of: an airy, woven fabric with a textured waffle look. It is similar to the fabric a polo shirt is made of, but with more structure, so it’s perfect for our shorts. The fabric is developed especially for us in Portugal and is made of 100% organic cotton.

Combining the perfect fit with high-quality organic fabric, those airy shorts with a textured waffle look will be your best travel buddy. Safe - and smart - travels misters!

The Piqués are just so cool and comfortable: the shorts will certainly allow for a smooth transition from your Sunday morning espresso to your afternoon aperitivo: piqué all day!
The Two Main Differences Between The Originals & The Piqués
Our Original shorts and The Piqués share the same fit. While The Originals are made of 98% cotton and 2% elastane, The Piqués are made out of organic cotton. We've developed our own 100% organic cotton piqué in Portugal, which lives up to our high standards. The other main difference from The Originals, is that The Piqués have a zipper fly instead of a button fly. Read more about the details below.
The Details Make the Design
You know what MR MARVIS likes? Details! You can still find the super comfortable elasticated waistband on The Piqués, as well as the hidden pocket. But we've changed the button fly of the Originals to a zipper fly for The Piqués. And as a finishing touch, The Piqués have a sleek, silver-coloured MR MARVIS emblem at the bottom hem of the shorts. The Originals have an embroidered emblem instead. Try both types of perfect shorts and choose your favourite style!
