Shorts fit well and very comfy. Side pockets not big enough for glasses case or phone though. Not a deal breaker...

Great quality but small side pockets

No, I don't recommend this

These shorts are a lovely material very smart and my husband wears shorts throughout the year and says they are comfortable. Only one problem the map pockets at the side are an 1inch too short and he can’t put his mobile in them.

Not the best.

No, I don't recommend this

For medium length shorts they still quite short. Feel tight in the leg area when seated

Straight Fit Stretch Cargo Short

Yes, I recommend this

As I prefer cargo shorts to normal ones, I chose this one because I didn't already have cargo shorts in this shade. They are an excellent fir, and I am very pleased with them.
