Fantastic Purchase

Yes, I recommend this

I bought my son two pairs of long trousers in the same fabric last autumn, and they lasted so well I bought these shorts for him to wear in the spring. Outstanding value and lovely quality - they're stain resistant and iron up beautifully. I always return to M&S for uniform items and have never been disappointed yet.

The best shorts on the market

Yes, I recommend this

These were bought to replace his aged 7 shorts which have done nearly 2 acadmic years of service the old one still have life left in them but had become far too small for him. These are well cut and great quality.

Very disappointing

No, I don't recommend this

I've always bought M&S school shorts (and trousers) for my boys but these were very disappointing. They fitted my son tighter than last years shorts do! And now there is a very fiddly inside button which is completely unnecessary and was too tight to manage easily. Sorry, but I returned them and have gone elsewhere this year.

Odd fastening

No, I don't recommend this

These are a very similar style to the pleated trousers I have been buying for a few years, and these shorts also fitted well enough. My son is 7, and doesn't like the way the shorts do up, so they will be returned. There is a long waistband extension piece that overlaps by quite a way, and fastens with a hook & bar fastening - no problem. The waistband also has a button underneath that needs to be done up. Normally this would be fine, but for some reason (???M&S) the buttonhole has been sewn on a diagonal slant, rather than horizontally. This makes the button difficult for him to do up (& with the button shank horizontally stitched, trickier still). Although he would probably get used to this, he has decided that they are 'too difficult" to do up, & he wants shorts with an alternative fastening.

Good until put them on

Yes, I recommend this

Appeared to be good quality. Son tried them on and fitted perfectly. I then removed all tags and sewed in his name tape. It was only when he put them on for school that we noticed that part of the seam had not been sewn up so effectively left a hole part way down one of the legs. Too late to return as had already removed tags and sewn in name tape.

Ridiculously long but otherwise a good fit.

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these for my 12 year old son, not for school, but for smart wear on family outings. They are ridiculously long but I shortened them by quite a few inches. They don't crease and as their unique Stormwear+™ finish is effective as they stay dry when he is out in the rain.

Unfortunate fault

Yes, I recommend this

I have been buying these school shorts for 3 years now and this is the first time that I have had a problem. The elastic for the adjustable waist is missing from the left hand side. My son is very tall but very slim so he needs them pulled in, I can only adjust one side due to this fault. I must say though that this is unlike M&S and I have never had any bother with any item of school uniform before.

Great Product

Yes, I recommend this

These shorts are so much nicer than other school shorts around. My boys both wear shorts all year round. They look smart and wash really well. Even after a few months of heavy use they still look as good as new. The shorts have stayed true to the style and do not look scruffy. Great product.

Excellent winter school shorts

Yes, I recommend this

My son has to wear shorts all year round. These are great as they are longer than the other high street offerings and hopefully offer a bit more warmth.

good - but not quite right for me

Yes, I recommend this

These wee shorts appeared to be very good quality, and I liked the little zip pocket for keeping pennies safe =) Unfortunately, the age five ones were a little on the long side for my average-sized 5-year-old. We ended up opting for the cheaper, 2-pack of boys' school shorts, and missing out on the zip pocket.

Poorly made disappointed

No, I don't recommend this

Bought these as son had outgrown existing pair. They were the only shorts available at the time, usually buy cargo style. Anyway we didn't like the massive flap zippy thing and also after just 1 week of wearing them the whole top band came away from the shorts so had to take them back so inconvenienced again , thank goodness cargos back in stock! Shall never buy again!

great quality 'wash & wear' product

Yes, I recommend this

my only criticism of this item is that for age 14 the waistband does not have enough expansion!! at this age many boys are going through a 'comfort'stage and many boys (including my own ) are larger rather than average.they're great shorts but wont fit him next term. BIGGER SIZES PLEASE!!

Best school shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I always buy my son's school trousers at M&S because although they might be slightly more expensive than in other retailers I find they last him all year and hardly ever break. Good quality material and the fit is excellent. Not too baggy in my son who is quite skinny. I would definitely recommend them.
