Quality soft fabric

Yes, I recommend this

I purchased for my grandson who is six. He is tall and very slim, most shorts are too big on the waist but these fit perfect as they have a draw string waist. Nice length too. A good choice of colours & quality soft fabric

Bit big!

Size didn’t match so way too big, and couldn’t compensate with pulling the string unfortunately.

I found these children's shorts be be of excellent quality and good value. They are a more generous fit and quality for the price than the equivalent from their competitors. The fabric is beautiful and soft.
