42 customer reviewsWhat customers are saying:
Customers consistently praise these linen shorts for their breathable, soft fabric, good quality, and lightweight comfort, making them a strong pick for warm weather and summer outings. The 8.5" length gets lots of love for being versatile and easy to dress up or down, with several customers saying it works especially well for a more polished casual look. Fit feedback is mostly positive overall, and while many say they run true to size, a few customers suggested sizing up if you’re between sizes. Color and feel also come through as big wins, with many customers calling them stylish, well made, and easy to wear.

The Fit Was Terrible - Very Disappointed
June 17, 2026I purchased these shorts last year. (I should have submitted a review at that time). The fit was horrible. I ordered a 36W and I must have been sent a 38W or even a 40W. The shorts were extremely baggy. I had them altered not only on the waist but in the seat as well. I was so disappointed in the fit that I donated the shorts to Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and I just had an order arrive today for a similar linen short, from a competitor, in navy blue. Their linen short fit perfectly - no alteration needed.

Disappointed
May 1, 2026The shorts billow so much that they are unwearable. They are not at all how they appear on the website. Very disappointed.
