Welcome to the Weekend Institute | 4.24 | 5pm PST

Dear Stan,

The time has come, something new to your palette, and 2026 is the year.  Weekend Institute, a home for all to congregate and mingle in an addiction filled environment that we all have grown to love.  Your new home of comfort, steeezz and status recognition all within arms reach.  It's an introduction to the new standard for your every day, everything short at the best damn price.  Functional, yup.  Debauchery ready, roger.  Durable enough to last during a 48hr bender in Tulum, fuck yes.

The idea of shorts had some must haves along with a list of definitely don't include.  A huge must have was a new lightweight material from the norm, which took time, but we found it.  A comfortable waistband with just enough stretch for extended wear, check, it's included.  If you're half trashed at 6pm and expect to hit 4 more spots because the night is young and momma didn't raise no bitch, then zippered pockets to keep your passport and room key from getting lost were also a must, which we got.  Add in a zippered back pocket, 5" inseam, chlorine safe material that quick dries, killer details and embroidery & we're ready to rock.

Welcome to the institute.
