Founded in 2020 by friends and mothers Jess and Tarin, Cadets was born from a simple frustration: the inability to find appropriately short, well-fitting shorts for their young boys. Operating under the playful mantra "#FREETHEKNEES," the American brand quickly developed a cult following for its nostalgic, athletic-leaning childrenswear. While the label has since expanded to include men's, women's, and girls' sizing, its core identity remains rooted in premium boys' apparel.
