I bought these as I own all previous colors and while the quality of the trousers themselves is great, we found some issues with the fit this time. For reference I own all of them in a UK8, the fit has always been perfect on my body (waist is around 67, hips around 98). This time I also got them in a UK8, and things to note were that 1) the fit is slightly smaller than in previous years. Not an issue for me, but it was for my sister, who got a size UK10 (also, has the others in UK10) yet these were extremely small on her). So in that regard, I would advise you to size up unless you are towards the lower end of the sizing range for each size. and 2) the zipper in mine was shorter than usual; after contacting the HOF customer service they informed me that there was one lot of shorts that had a shorter zipper due to manufacturer issues. This is a problem because it makes WAY more difficult to put the shorts on; although I manage with a little wiggle, I will probably replace the zipper for a longer one. I have no idea if this issue will stay in all the burgundy shorts or if they have already been able to fix it, but it is something to keep in mind while choosing the size. Other than these 2 things, the shorts look great, same flowy material as other colorways, length is also fine (unless you are tall, then maybe size up too), and they are still comfortable to wear. I like them in the summertime and also for hiking! They prevent chaffing and allow for airflow so they make walking and hiking amazing! while I cannot give them a 10/10 as the older models, I still think these rank at a solid 8/10 and are still a great piece of clothing that I am happy to have in my wardrobe.

I love these shorts. As someone with a little more butt, I was very happy to find that these provided more than adequate coverage while not looking like wannabe capris.

These shorts are pretty much the only shorts I wear anymore, I have them in about ten colors now! The construction is always superb and the fit is perfect (I have a 25 inch waist and wear size 8). I love this new wine color, it is rich and beautiful.

I love this color and also have the bottle green and am about to get the black because they’re that amazing!

Have these in three colors now and might get one more ☺️
