¿Qué dicen de nuestro shorts?
Pantalones cortos ST 02 Jacquard Black.
Unos pantalones cortos realmente bonitos. El tejido jacquard tiene un tacto de gran calidad y el corte es muy cómodo. El color negro hace que sean fáciles de combinar, y quedan muy bien tanto con un look informal como con uno más elegante. Estoy muy contento con la calidad.

Excelente servicio
Unos pantalones cortos de buena calidad, bonito color y buen corte. Tuve que cambiar los pantalones cortos porque la talla era demasiado pequeña. El plazo de devolución ya había vencido, pero tras una llamada telefónica, un empleado muy amable lo solucionó todo. ¡Todo son elogios!

Unos pantalones cortos minimalistas que sientan muy bien. Son más cortos que los pantalones cortos tipo chino, pero con este tiempo eso resulta muy agradable. El tejido es muy agradable. El color combina perfectamente con la selección de camisetas. Son elegantes y fáciles de combinar. La entrega fue rápida.

Tenía buen aspecto, pero no era lo que esperaba
Tenía buena pinta, pero era un poco diferente de lo que esperaba, así que lo devolví. La tramitación de la devolución aún está en curso; por desgracia, todavía no he recibido ninguna respuesta. Pero estoy deseando hacer un nuevo pedido.

La calidad es excelente, pero me queda demasiado holgado.
Los pantalones chinos me quedan bien, pero la talla L me queda demasiado holgada. Los he devuelto para cambiarlos por una M. Todavía estoy esperando a que me llegue la M.

Designed in the Netherlands, off-duty without the noise.
Clean shorts with a considered length and nothing extra. The core is the ST 04 Essence, cut from our Italian Fleece, the same heavyweight as our heavyweight tee, so the short feels substantial and holds its shape rather than going thin. Relaxed, not sloppy. For a cleaner, more tailored option there are the Essence chino shorts. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.
When we ask customers why they bought, the answers are consistent: the clean design and the quality. Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and comfort is the word that recurs most after quality. Part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
The range, by how you'll actually wear it
ST 04 Essence. The core jersey short in Italian Fleece: substantial, shape-holding and soft, in a range of tonal shades.
Essence chino shorts. A cleaner, cotton-rich short with a more tailored finish, for when you want to lift the look.
How to wear them
Keep it clean and tonal. Wear the Essence short with a heavyweight tee or a hoodie and clean sneakers for the weekend, or a knit polo and a loafer to lift it. The tonal shades read more considered than a bright short.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.
Mediterranean Suede
Refined in style, matt in color. The ultra-soft suede leather is sanded and feels velvety soft. It is crafted from the inside layer of the leather hide. Mediterranean leather is the delicate choice.
Premium Suede
Experience unparalleled luxury. It's made of the finest selection of hides and superior finishing techniques. It is valued for its softness, flexibility, and ability to lend a sophisticated look. Our premium suede shoes need no lining, just one layer of leather. It wears like a second skin.
Nappa Leather
Soft. Smooth. Nappa leather makes extremely comfortable shoes. The leather is obtained from tanning animal hides. It is characterized by a fine grain and a smooth finish. It feels simply sophisticated.
Nubuck Leather
Premium nubuck: the best of the best. Exclusive leather that we sanded rough on the outside grain part of the hide, giving it a velvety butter-soft surface. It offers utmost suppleness.
Full Grain Leather
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.
French Terry
Tès Chique. French terry is a knit characterized by its unique looped-back construction. One side is smooth, and the other side is textured with loops of thread. It is known for its comfort, breathability, and moisture-proof properties. French terry is available as lightweight or heavyweight.
Punti di Roma
Wrinkle-resistant, soft like a baby, and slightly elastic. This is Italian quality, knitted to perfection. Punti Di Roma has a heavy, rich quality as the stitches interlock on both sides of the fabric. The best part: it’s recovery properties. This fabric stays in shape. And so will you.
Bamboo
Bamboo fibers are derived from the pulp of bamboo plants. Bamboo knits are soft and breathable. Moisture wicking? Yes. Ideal for socks.

Known for its exceptional warmth and insulation, American Fleece is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Its slightly brushed surface creates a plush, cozy feel, making it ideal for cooler climates.

Piqué Knit
A true classic in fabric craftsmanship, piqué knit is renowned for its unique textured surface, characterized by a subtle waffle or honeycomb pattern. Originally developed for sportswear, piqué knit has evolved into a sophisticated fabric that balances structure with breathability. The weave creates tiny raised patterns, adding a tactile dimension while allowing air to flow easily, making it perfect for all-season wear.
Soft yet durable, piqué knit is frequently used in polo shirts and garments that require a balance between casual and formal. It drapes beautifully while maintaining a slight stretch, offering comfort without losing its shape. Known for its ability to hold its form and resist wrinkling, this fabric is an excellent choice for those who value a polished look with minimal maintenance.
Mercerized Cotton
Mercerized cotton is the epitome of luxury in cotton fabrics. Through a special finishing process, the cotton fibers are treated to enhance their natural properties, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, stronger, and more lustrous. The mercerization process not only strengthens the fibers but also gives the cotton a subtle sheen that adds an elevated, polished look to the material.
What sets mercerized cotton apart is its ability to hold dye exceptionally well, resulting in vibrant, rich colors that resist fading over time. It’s smoother to the touch than regular cotton, offering a silk-like feel without sacrificing breathability. This fabric is durable, resists shrinking, and maintains its shape, making it ideal for garments that combine sophistication with everyday wearability.
At ETQ, our mercerized cotton shirts offer a refined, elegant look with the comfort and practicality of cotton. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and long-lasting quality in their wardrobe essentials.
Twill Fabric – Iron Free
Twill fabric is a durable, structured material characterized by its diagonal weave pattern, offering a distinct texture and visual depth. Known for its strength and versatility, twill is used in garments that require a bit more durability while maintaining a polished, professional look. The diagonal weave provides natural wrinkle resistance, making it an excellent choice for both casual and formal attire.
What sets our Iron-Free Twill apart is its advanced treatment that ensures a smooth, crisp appearance straight out of the wash, eliminating the need for ironing. This fabric is designed to stay sharp and maintain its form throughout the day, providing an effortlessly polished look with minimal effort. Its ability to resist creasing and maintain its structure makes it ideal for busy professionals or frequent travelers who need their clothing to perform as well as they do.
