Reviews

Nice shorts but a little small

"The shorts are a nice fabric and cut however a bit on the small side. I take a 12 normally in bottoms, however the 12 in these is too tight. Might fit better if I loose a little weight. Otherwise a nice pair of shorts."

— Kate W. (4/5)

Shame other colours had all sold!
