The elastic drawstring waist means he can pull them on himself, cinch them if he's slim, and let them out as he grows through a season. Cotton, no liner, one velcro cargo pocket on the right leg for the things a nine-year-old insists on carrying. They go from the beach to the car to dinner without a change of clothes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 6, 10, 12, 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist\u003c\/strong\u003e — elastic with drawstring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — right leg flap pocket with velcro closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e — faux zipper front, no liner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100% cotton, made in Hawaii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — HIC, Hawaiian Islands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGo by his usual boys' size. The elastic waist with a drawstring does the work here — there's real adjustment either side of the nominal size, so a boy who's between a 10 and a 12 will be fine in the 12 with the cord pulled in. Note there's no size 8 stocked; if he's an 8, take the 6 only if he's slim, otherwise size up to the 10 and let the drawstring hold it. No liner, so he'll want something underneath or a swim brief if he's heading into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeach days, family photos where you want him in something better than gym shorts, casual weddings and lu'aus alongside an aloha shirt, and the whole flat run of summer camp and holiday travel. Pair with a matching-print aloha shirt if you're dressing him for an occasion; on their own they read as ordinary good-looking cargo shorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold machine wash, tumble low. Cotton will take a little shrinkage on a hot cycle, so keep the heat down and the fit stays where you set it. The velcro flap closes better if you fasten it before washing — it stops the hooks grabbing everything else in the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of dressing families from our Maui showroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe list the sizes we actually stock — no phantom size charts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsk us about fit before you order and a person answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.

Fine for wading and getting splashed, but they'll stay wet longer than a swim short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the waist hold up if he's active?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — elastic plus a drawstring, so nothing slips.
