OK quality, on the small side

9 months ago
It was OK in terms of fit and fabric quality, however the size was too small, you'd need at least one size larger than your usual one.

Not True To Size

These shorts are not true to size. They are way too short in the crouch. Also, I didn't realize they are button ups. Button ups are the worst idea ever! What a complete waste of money!

Det stämmer inte att jeans är 100%,det finns elastin i. Jag har haft shorts i par månader och det har blivit större en storlek, helt värdelös.
