Organic Cotton Louis Short — Sailing Day | Jamie Kay

Fabric Composition
100% Organic Cotton with elastane for added stretch. The organic cotton is primarily sourced from India and the People's Republic of China (PRC); some finished garments are completed in Vietnam.

Construction & Design Details
The Louis Short features a relaxed silhouette with a functional drawstring waist — the waistband has both an elasticated construction and a visible adjustable drawstring tie, allowing for a customized fit. The shorts sit at a medium rise. For the kid that loves collecting things at the park or the beach, functional pockets sit on either side of the shorts.

Print Description — Sailing Day Colorway
The Sailing Day print features small sailboats scattered across a warm beige/neutral ground. The scale of the print is compact and evenly distributed. The overall palette reads as warm neutral with illustrated navy or muted blue sailing vessel motifs and muted lighthouses.

Care Instructions (Full)
Wash cold on delicate cycle; use a laundry bag to protect the fabric. Do not tumble dry. For truest color representation, view the flat lay image. Follow all instructions on the care label.

Origin
Organic cotton sourced primarily from India and PRC. Some finished garments completed in Vietnam.

Certifications & Testing
Every batch of organic cotton fabric is tested for pH levels, fabric performance, and formaldehyde content. All organic cotton suppliers comply with the REACH regulatory framework and the Restricted Substances List (RSL) for chemical use in manufacturing.

Garment Tolerance Note
All pieces are hand-cut. A tolerance of ±0.39–0.59 inches applies across all measurements.

The Louis Short fits true to size with a relaxed silhouette — if your child is between sizes and tends to run slim through the waist, size down; the drawstring waist adds meaningful adjustability. For a child between sizes who is longer in the leg, size up.

Jamie Kay was founded by a mother who wanted children's clothing worth keeping — made carefully enough to pass down, in fabrics she felt good about putting on her own kids. That founding instinct is visible in every piece: organic cotton tested for pH and formaldehyde levels, prints designed to outlast a single season, and construction that holds up to the kind of washing that comes with actual childhood.

Grace & Haven carries Jamie Kay because the line serves families who care about what goes on their kids' skin and want pieces that stay looking good. The organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, every fabric batch is REACH compliant, and the sizing runs from baby through size 10 — so families who started shopping with us for a newborn can keep coming back as their kids grow.

The Sailing Day print was an easy choice for Essex. Boating is at the center of life here, and a well-made nautical print in organic cotton is exactly what this community reaches for every summer. We carry a limited run of sizes in this short — if the size you need isn't showing, reach out and we'll do our best to special order it for you, up through size 8.
