Tracksmith Men’s Van Cortlandt Grand Shorts

Our spin on a classic 4” silhouette, crafted in our lightweight 2:09 Mesh.

Back on Track

When Oxford graduate student George Dole lined up against Roger Bannister at Iffley Road, he wore a pair of modestly-cut shorts with contrast binding. We’ve long admired the not-too-long, not-too-short silhouette and decided to reimagine the style for modern runners using our 2:09 Mesh. Luxurious and lightweight, these 4” shorts are built for performance, featuring a considered, comfortable liner, three drop-in pockets, and an adjustable drawstring.

Specs & Features

• Featuring three drop-in pockets built-in to the liner
• Classic running shorts with a channeled drawstring
• Finished with our embroidered hare and racing stripe detail
• Made in a luxurious and lightweight performance mesh

Fabric & Care

• 2:09 Mesh: 82% Polyester, 18% Spandex, 145gsm
• Tricot Mesh with Antimicrobial Finish
• Odor Protection
• Moisture-Wicking
• Wash cold. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low.

Sizing & Fit

• A more relaxed running short with a 4” inseam, featuring a built-in liner, an elasticated drawstring waistband, and a comfortable rise that offers more coverage than the classic Van Cortlandt Shorts.

Classic Performance

These shorts are designed to hit that sweet spot between not too long and not too short, with a modest 4” inseam silhouette, a channeled drawstring waistband, and a roomier rise.

Liner Notes

The shorts feature a lightweight liner in the same antimicrobial mesh as the body. Three pockets for keys, credit cards, or gels sit at the back interior of the waistband.

A Mesh with Merit

The 2:09 Mesh came to be, not only for its soft and airy texture, but also for its antimicrobial properties. With the funk-free finish, the shorts are built to battle bacteria.
