Size Guide

Our size charts show the flat measurements of each garment.
Since everything we do is made by hand, there can be a slight variation between pieces (up to 2% either way is considered within tolerance). Natural fibres can also shift slightly during production, with a bit of stretch or shrinkage being part of the process.
Any questions at all please email us and we'll do our best to guide you.

Reviews

Nearly perfect shorts. Great fit, lovely material however the pockets just aren’t deep enough for me. It’d be easy to pickpocket my phone from them. I’ll keep them for knocking about locally but for going away I’d prefer something a little more secure.

A very smart pair of short legged trousers which you don’t need short legs to wear. Similar fit to previous Hebtroco shorts (the grey waxed ripstop ones for example) but less casual and more of a hit with the wife. A perfect way to cover the upper reaches of your back legs while sunning the lower sections. Just need a pair in olive green now…
