Loose-fitting denim jorts with plenty of room for unrestricted movement during Richmond's sweltering summer sessions.
Jorts have made their triumphant return to skateboarding, bringing the perfect blend of breathability and durability that Richmond's humid summers demand. Venue's collection focuses exclusively on baggy, relaxed fits from brands with authentic skate credentials. Polar delivers their signature European roominess with cut-off variations of their popular Big Boy jeans, providing ample thigh space for proper mobility when attacking the DIY transitions at Texas Beach. Dickies offers their workwear durability in jort form, with the same legendary toughness that withstands repeated slams on the rough concrete at Manchester spots. These aren't fashion-focused interpretations – they're functional bottoms built specifically for skateboarding's demands, with relaxed fits that allow unrestricted movement without excess material interfering with your tricks. Our selection spans multiple lengths – from slightly longer cuts that protect against grip tape abrasion to shorter styles for maximum ventilation during the most sweltering RVA days. Each pair features skateboard-specific details including deeper pockets that actually secure your belongings during impacts, reinforced stitching at stress points, and raw, unfinished hems that develop character rather than falling apart through daily use. The current jort resurgence isn't mere fashion cycling – it's skateboarding returning to what actually works when the temperature climbs and restrictive pants become unbearable. Pair them with tall socks for that unmistakable skate silhouette that performs as well at downtown street spots as it does for all-day sessions by the river.
