Boy's Navy Blue Slub Cotton Short

This lightweight, supple 100% cotton French terry is knitted in Portugal. Treated for piece-dyeing, the fabric reveals subtle shades and a slightly weathered look, adding depth and character to the colors. This fabric is a new addition to the Hartford collections for 2026, particularly notable for its elegant drape and exceptionally soft feel.

Our manufacturing process embodies Hartford’s commitment to high-quality, sustainable production. We prioritize local sourcing, with 80% of our products manufactured in the Mediterranean region (Morocco, Portugal, Italy), while the remainder is produced worldwide based on the origin of materials and local expertise—such as in India for certain prints or embroidery, or in China for certain specialty wools, for example. We rely on long-term partnerships, synonymous with reliability and expertise: 50% of our products are manufactured by partners we’ve worked with for over 20 years, and 80% by partners we’ve worked with for over 10 years. Finally, we prioritize contract manufacturing (60% of production) by sourcing materials ourselves in Europe, thereby ensuring full traceability and access to the finest European natural materials.
