Lovely pure linen shorts. Slightly darker than expected but good fit and this yer they’ve removed the flaps on the back pockets which is much better.

Elegant fit

Yes, I recommend this

These are quite elegant shorts and the leg length on my 6' frame is mid thigh. I tried the beige, but chose navy through personal choice. I didn't give them 5/5 because the waist comes up rather small. They fit perfectly over my derriere, but not quite comfortable on the waist. I sized up, they fit perfectly on the waist, which surprised me as I expected it to be a little roomy on the waist next size up! The waist dies have an elasticated section, but there's not a huge amount of give. Overall lovely shorts.

Nice pair of shorts

Comfy to wear, nice length for me and not a cheap looking linen.

Loose and comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

These shorts are very comfortable. The waist is elasticated at the back, the cut is loose on the legs, the linen is comfortable against the skin. Also not too short on the leg. Perfect for a day out sightseeing in the heat.

I’ve spent 2 weeks in Thailand and wore these shorts most days, excellent and cool in 34 degrees, look smart and very roomy, I got size 18 though I usually wear a 16, as I wanted plenty of room in the hot weather. These worked a treat, elasticated waist at the back and didn’t rub at all. Would recommend

Good fit

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely linen shorts that are just the right length (not too short and not too long), feels a bit like a skort. Good fit, nice and comfortable, looking forward to wearing them in the warmer months and on holiday. Material is a good quality, well made, purchased two pairs (sandstone and blue) as a result.

New to me

I really like these, true to size comfy shorts. Was a bit concerned they might be short but they are great. These will be a lot cooler than the chino style I've worn in the past and I think they look better on me too

Good fit

Yes, I recommend this

I'm size 16 and these fit nicely though a wee bit tight on the waist but there is some elastic so helps. Definitely need to wear skin coloured knickers as the fabric is not that thick.
