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.

Great breathable linen shorts
October 21, 2025High quality 100% linen shorts. Very flattering and good length. Thicker linen material but very durable and breathable.

Get compliments every time I wear these
September 19, 2025I’m quite tall and getting older so shorts and their length can be a tough look. Then I found these and they’re absolutely perfect. 6’4 and don’t want to rock the younger super baggy and long look, but also can’t do the 5” look - these are a perfect length for me and the shorts fit great!
