Would highly recommend

Yes, I recommend this

Comfortable, great feel and excellent value for money - my son loves wearing them. And they have pockets, so he can wander around in a typical slouchy teenage manner!

Cotton shorts

It is cotton rich but it is baggy in some places which makes it not that comfortable

A bit big round the waist.

No, I don't recommend this

Very large in the waist. Can be tied with the draw string but thats a bit inconvenient for an eight year old to do himself! Would prefer a smaller elasticated waist where the string isnt needed.

Good cotton, washes well.

These are a thicker cotton, very practical, good value and colour choices. The fit is quite loose and as reviews mention the waist ties disappear into the waist band so only 4 stars. I tied a knot in each side and sewed up the sides so it wouldn't pull through. Working well.
