About Rooted Botanics

Rooted Botanics was founded by two best friends sharing a deep love for plants and the many blessings of the natural world. We’re both deeply enamored by flowers, trees - any landscape from the mountains to the sea. Rooted Botanics is the co-creation of our dream to live a more connected life with Mother Earth and the plants that speak to our souls.

Natural Dyes have an incredible history spanning cultures and centuries past. It is a beautiful, intricate, and delicate process that is not only a more ethically sustainable choice but also a traditional craft rooted and enriched with so much history.

These Hammies shorts are dyed by plants, passion, and love for the earth we all call our home.

Care instructions

• Wash on a cold cycle

• Do not hang dry in the sun as it can make the color fade!

About the Hammies short

The Hammies short is an old short for a new generation. This short style was popularized in the 1970s in Southern California and for a decade it was the staple of skateboarders, surfers, rollerskaters, camp counselors, Tom Selleck, and many more. In the mid-1980s, shorts got longer and pants got baggier and for the proceeding 3 decades, the shorts were forgotten (a period also known as The Shorts Dark Ages). Fast-forward to 2017: Hammies has revived the once forgotten shorts in all of their primary-colored and wide-waled corduroy glory and once again, all was right with the world.

In short, the Hammies short is a homage to a time when shorts were shorter, fuzzier, and more colorful. These are your mom's shorts!
