Bermuda shorts: a brief history.

During WW1 Britain strategically set up its North Atlantic headquarters in Bermuda. Native Bermudian Nathanial Coxon owned one of the only teashops in Bermuda and his little teashop quickly saw an influx of naval officers. Business boomed for Coxon but his busy tearoom quickly turned into a sauna with all the steaming pots of tea. His employees complained about the heat as their uniforms consisted of a smart navy blue blazer and khaki pants. Coxon was a creative businessman and did not want to spend money on a new wardrobe for his employees, so he took all the khaki pants from his staff and cut them just above the knee to create the very first pair of Bermuda Shorts.

If your Bermuda shorts are in need of a cleaning, bring them into us for care.
