Product description

Three-quarter trousers or shorts, whichever way you think about it, strike nicely between shorts and trousers. They are out of the way of doing stuff but look sharp when hanging about. You can wear these all summer like it's 1909!

Design

The usual pockets as you'd expect, button fly and waist adjustment tabs. Articulated knees allow freedom of movement. The design is generally timeless with cues from 1st pattern jungle fatigues, such as exposed pocket flap buttons.

  • Two side pockets and mobile device pockets
  • Flat front cargo pockets
  • Back pockets with button flaps
  • Button fly
  • Waist adjustment tabs
  • Drawcord cuff adjustment

Material and care

Made from 100 % cotton twill: a solid fabric, but comfortable to wear. Some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. Machine wash at 40 °C / 104 °F, nothing special.

Sizing

Simple sizing with maximum waist circumference in the brackets. The cut is "so-called formal", so if you're looking for very baggy shorts you can consider a larger size. Remember, you can adjust the shorts about 4 cm (1.6") down from the maximum size.

Please refer to this table for actual measurements. All sizes have a 50 cm (20") inseam.

Made in China

There's a good quality to be found in the PRC, as long as you don't choose the lowest bidder.

These are the skinny jeans of the board shorts world. As the description says, if you want a baggy fit order the next larger size. They weren't kidding. I thought my waist size had gotten down to 34" (as my 36" waist slacks and jeans have gotten loose now that I've lost almost 10kg over the past 8 months), but the size Medium was a bit more snug than I expected. The good part is that they have two convenient front pockets for a cell phone. I use the cargo pocket for my bulky wallet. In Southern California these are perfect for fall and spring. I'm considering ordering the next size up (which is supposed to have a 39" waist) so I can wear them like traditional baggy board shorts.

So far I like the fit, they're comfortable and good for the warmer weather. The slash pockets seem too far around the side, it feels like you're reaching back too far to get into them. <br /> The main issue is with the fabric itself, at least with the black ones I have they're made of something that seems to attract every bit of fluff, hair and mote of dust. As someone who shares a house with 3 cats it's a nightmare!

Gotta be honest with this.<br /> It seems to have a small fault 8n the design. <br /> Mine ended up tearing vertically on the ass. <br /> This was caused by a combination of factors, A. Having a bulky wallet and B. a bar tack where the rear pocket attaches to the back. This bar tack caused the fabric to be pulled much harder in the tiny area of the bar tack whenever I sat down. A stress riser essentially. This soon lead to a small tear in the seat and once it started, being cotton fabric, it tore into a massive hole which is too bad because I really liked the design with the pockets etc. <br /> This probably won't be an issue for most but if you carry a bulky wallet the 1cm bar tacks will create too much tension in a small area for the fabric to cope,leading to possible tears. Kinda ironic as bar tacks are used to strengthen but in this application it back fired.
