Great looking shorts

Bought a pair each for our grandsons and love the extra length in the leg it just looks more modern in appearance. Love the steel biue shade it goes with lots of colours for hoodies or t shirts they wear. The size 7/8 on a slim 9 year old but a cord on the waist to tie off still left enough length in the leg. Really pleased with our purchase and they wash and iron well too.

Great quality massive sizing

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

I have a very tall very skinny 7 nearly 8 year old, so bought 2 sizes, 6-7 yrs and 7-8. Both pairs absolutely massive in the waist and as it is just a shoelace drawstring there was no way he would be ably to draw and tie it tight enough at school for PE. Luckily, the drawstring channel goes all the way round and is not decorative like on some sportswear we've bought and I've managed to thread elastic through. We make adjustable school uniform and other clothing, I just wish the same consideration would go into the sportswear. Other than that the quality of the material is great, nice and thick and they should last a long time

My son has sensory issues and he finds these lovely and soft and stretchy. Only not giving 5 stars because they come up quite big and are baggy but he seems to like that

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
