Daughter bought me a pair for Father’s Day. They were so comfortable and easy to wear, I went and got two more pairs of different colours. I’ve received great compliments from friends who asked where I bought them. Wash well and fit perfectly.

Great, comfortable shorts

Great, lightweight pair of shorts, just enough stretch, minor gripe is that there is no fly, there is stitching to resemble a fly, but no actual fly.

These shorts are perfect for the hot weather. They are stylish with lots of space for cooling air flow. The fabric blend works well, providing just the right weight.

Good fit. Good quality.

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Bought for my wife to try as there was nothing in the female range that was acceptable. Either too short or too wide in the leg; usually both. As a lady of a ‘certain age’ she is rarely seen outdoors in shorts anyway and not a slave to fashion. These are of good quality, the expected size and good vfm.

I bought the shorts for my husband as we were going on a couple of bus trips. He said they are very comfortable and cool. I am ordering him another pair. Fits true to size.

Bought for my husband. Normally he wears dress shorts so these light ones have been great in the heat. Would have liked to have had the option for a knee length. It has been a thumbs up from him.

Bought these for my other half to wear on holiday. Linen mix quality is great with minimal creasing. Washed well afterwards and only needed a quick iron to smarten them up for next time. Elasticated waist was also a bonus after a week ‘all-inclusive’!
