What is "chubbies"

n. (plural of chubby English)

Chubbies, or Chubbies Shorts, is a San Francisco-based online clothing brand that focuses primarily on men's short shorts and swim trucks. Chubbies was founded by 4 Stanford University grads; Kyle Hency, Rainer Castillo, Preston Rutherford, and Tom Montgomery. There have been a couple interviews with the founders where they explain the concept behind Chubbies. The idea for the company started when the founders took a Fourth of July trip to Lake Tahoe in 2011. They had created extra pairs of America themed shorts and sold them to people throughout the weekend.
