Texas summers demand a swim short that can keep up — and the Texas Standard Waterloo Swim Short in Softbrush was built exactly for that. The Waterloo Swim Short is set to be your new everyday favorite for poolside lounging and beyond , and the Softbrush colorway makes it one of the most visually distinctive options in the lineup. Inspired by the sweeping, painterly landscapes of the Texas Hill Country, the Softbrush pattern brings an artistic, naturalistic energy to your warm-weather wardrobe that’s a refreshing departure from the usual tropical prints.
With a 7-inch inseam and a quick-drying performance fabric, these trunks were crafted for both style and functionality. The 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex blend delivers the kind of stretch and breathability that makes all-day water activity feel completely effortless — whether you’re at the lake, the pool, or working the grill at a backyard cookout.
Why you’ll love it:
- Built-In Performance Brief Liner — we left out the uncomfortable mesh lining and instead added a built-in performance brief liner to ensure comfort all day long — a small but game-changing detail that makes these shorts feel as good as they look.
- Thoughtful Pocket System — two standard pockets, a hidden zipper pocket, and two snap pockets on the back keep your essentials organized and secure whether you’re in the water or out of it.
- Quick-Drying Performance Fabric — the 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex construction dries fast and moves with you, making the transition from water to land completely seamless.
- 7″ Inseam with Standard Fit — a versatile, modern length that works just as well as casual shorts as it does as dedicated swimwear, taking you from the pool deck to the patio without missing a beat.
Founded by fifth-generation Texan Drew Bagot, Texas Standard was built to exemplify what it means to be a Texas gentleman — exceptional craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and a style rooted in Lone Star heritage. At Bering’s, we’ve been a trusted family-owned Houston institution since 1940, and Texas Standard is exactly the kind of homegrown brand we’re proud to put on our shelves.
