Cargo shorts

Yes, I recommend this

These are a bit narrow, they don’t take into account a child who is large for his age

Great shorts for my 11 year old. He is quite slim, and even then had to size up.

Great shorts

Yes, I recommend this

I bought these shorts for my 14yr old son. They are nice and soft, comfortable elastic waistband and look smart/casual. Im sure he will get lots of wear out of them. Ordered size 15-16yrs, my son is 5”6.

Nice shorts

My grandsons really liked the cargo shorts. Being cotton must say that they creased a bit. The boys like the longer length shorts. .

Perfect

Yes, I recommend this

Great lightweight fabric, slightly longer length which my son likes. Perfect sizing & price, very impressed, bought both colours for holiday & looked a bit smarter with a designer polo for evenings out. washed up well. My son is just 15, average height (5’7”) slim, & 15-16yrs was spot on with plenty of room, so will fit Nxt summer too.
