With a soft handle and clean finish, our slate grey cotton fabric is from the famous Tessuti di Sondrio Mill in Italy. We’ve selected a mid weight, not overly warm, but sturdy enough for Spring through to Autumn. The new fit is based on our best-selling Besterios Chino – with just the right amount lopped off for a classic length. We’ve included two side angled front pockets and two jetted back pockets with a horn button to complement the waist button and a zip fastening. Inside, all the seams are impeccably bound in a lightweight tonal soft cotton.

Great shorts but terrible sizing.

I have tried a 32 that’s too big, a 32 that’s too small and a 32 that’s perfect. Also tried a 30 that’s perfect, a 34 that fits well and a 30 that I can’t get close to doing up. Why is the sizing so inconsistent across the same shorts?!?

Badly and inconsistently sized

Bought three pairs in three colours all size 32. All were completely different sizes and fits! Bought on the back of already owning one pair also size 32, but none of them are any sort of comparably size. Really disappointing as they are actually really nice shorts!
