Place of origin

This two-pack of boy shorts was sold as part of the Calvin Klein girls' underwear range.

Sold in a sealed branded box, they came in black and white, both featuring the signature Calvin Klein typography and a wide elastic waistband familiar from the label's adult underwear range. They are called 'boy shorts' as the garment is cut low in the leg and sits on the hips, in a shape similar to boys' trunks.
