I made a pair of these for my son for rock climbing in lightweight canvas. They have been durable and comfortable. First time sewing any kind of pants and the pattern was clear and straightforward.

Gym Shorts
Pattern and sizing were very accurate and shorts turned out very well. There was some confusion with side pockets and false fly in written instructions so a video would be helpful. Great pattern overall.

Great basic
Bought this pattern to make some basic “comfy” shorts for my boys. I’ve made a couple of pairs for my 14 y o which came out perfectly. One pair in French Terry and one pair in a woven fabric which look a bit smarter. Both very comfortable apparently. Next will be making a couple of sizes up for my 20 yo and another couple of sizes up for my husband! Very happy with this pattern.
