I love these shorts! The quality is really good and they are the perfect length. I struggle to find clothes, especially denim, due to sensory issues but these are so comfy! I bought the matching vest too

Gorgeous cut and embroidery

a year ago
Fab fit, true to size. I have Levis 26 to 30 depending on model. I chose Utopia jean in 30 to wear on hips, got 29 in shorts to not wear so loose. Actually fit better than the jean version - button fly sits more flush on the short. Waistband great fit and embroidery is so fun. Very flattering length. Can be rolled up also if wanted.

Wunderschöner Stick mit kleinem Nachteil

11 months ago
Super schöne Hose mit wunderschönem Stick. Leider „franst“ dieser nach der Wäsche etwas aus, sodass der Stick nicht mehr ganz „scharf“ ist, sondern matter wirkt. Das ist etwas schade. Trotz dessen meine neue Lieblingshose.

Ich wollte dir Hose lieben

10 months ago
Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig, allerdings ist der Hosenschnitt für meine Körperfigur leider nicht gemacht, in 26 passt die Hose perfekt an der Teile, aber schneidet an den Oberschenkeln ein und in 27 passt sie an den Oberschenkeln, aber führt leider dazu, dass die Hose an der Taille leider unschön absteht.

I was so excited to get these but the sizing really let it down. I bought my usual size and they were too tight. Fab shirts, shame about the sizing.

This is such a lovely design only if those embroidery were just in the front and back stayed the simple. It would be awesome design then.
