Poor quality

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Bought these shorts to use with the waistcoat for my holidays. Having worn the waistcoat once and was very disappointed with the quality after it had been washed, I had no choice but to return along with the waistcoat.

Lining and thread unravels on first wear

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

No, I don't recommend this

Such a shame as really loved these shorts! They come up small so deffo need to size up but the main issue is how the lining on the inside unravels massively, as soon as it starts it doesn’t stop and your left with the short lining hanging down and longer than your legs worth of thread. I had this issue with two pairs of these shorts and had to return, they are too expansive to wonder web after 1 wear!

Great outfit

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I bought the matching waistcoat to go with these shorts and it made a really lovely outfit. Yes, the shorts are quite short and not for everyone but the style and colour look really great, I had lots of comments when I wore it. Haven’t washed it yet so crossing my fingers it’ll look ok afterwards.

I loved these shorts but after just one wash the colour was terrible and they looked very old - so I returned them

lovely shorts

These shorts are lovely and the colour and fabric are nice. They are a bit on the tight side for a size 8 but felt they would be too big if I went a size up.

These were so beautiful and fitted perfectly but after one wash at 30 degrees the fabric was faded and bobbly. Such a shame, I shall be returning.

Lovely summer shorts

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Really light weight fabric. Feels like linen. Lovely colour. Smart. Great for the really hot summer days. They are quite short shorts but it’s so hot I don’t care!

Look lovely as long as you don't ever wash them!

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I bought these shorts for a city holiday, and we were planning on hiring electric bikes, and it was perfect for that, comfy and smart, they fit and looked great. But, when I got home and washed them - disaster. I followed the instruction, 30 degrees, dark colours etc and they came out looking as though they were 200 years old. Was not surprised when I saw other reviews the same - but I had been hoping they would be a one off pair, because I really wanted to replace them! Never mind.

I have taken a photo, but after I have worn and washed only once, the colour of the short changed from brown some areas the colour faded. Really poor quality I had to return the shorts.
