Really bad quality

No, I don't recommend this

I don’t recommend the quality is really bad and it was cut into two after first use.

Good quality, poor drawstring desgn

Temperatures have been soaring in London recently, so I wanted to get pair of nice lightweight black linen shorts Unfortunately there is a design error. The drawstring going through the elasticated waistband is rigid, so when you pull it tight it is uncomfortable and gradually loosens while wearing. The elastication on the waistband is quite soft, which is comfortable, but for some customers it may need tightening. The solution to this is to put a section of elastic in the drawstring so when you are pulling it tight it will remain close to the body. Other than that, the quality is excellent, with my house keys and mobile in the pockets. I just need to make sure that they do not move to a lower part of my body while wearing them in public,

Overall, I’m 50/50 about it.

It’s a nice item, but based on the photos I expected the shorts to appear more natural and to have a more linen-like feel.
