Spirited Shorts,
April 4, 2013
By: WoodwardBound
from Pennsylvania / Maine
"Not only are these shorts incredibly handsome, but they are comfortable and well made. The material is substantial and over time has begun showing the fading that make these shorts famous for their authenticity. A very great pair of shorts to invest in."

waist too small,
July 31, 2012
By: lvar
from Marin CA
"I gave these shorts to my son and he loves them and they look great, BUT, the waist is a bit too small. It is the usual size he takes and he fits in all the other clothes this size. I phoned customer service and they said they would stretch an inch in the waist...I hope so!"

A very well made product.,
July 31, 2012
By: SpudLaRue
from Skagit Valley, WA
"These shorts are unique, well made, and good looking. My only concern is that they run a little small compared to my other shorts of the same size. Consider ordering a size bigger than usual."

Better options,
June 26, 2012
By: Anonymous
from Lyndell, PA
"I needed Bretton red shorts and was told these were the best. Good old fashioned quality, which I like. But the fabric is too course. Better option is the Surfwashed shorts in Vineyard Red - softer, comfortable fabric with same color."

Close -- But no Cigar,
June 24, 2012
By: AGNGHTTE
from Acworth GA
"The shorts look exactly as I expected and they are labelled [waist 34] as I specified.
But they don't fit. Other Orvis garments and other products [jeans] sized 34 [or even 33] fit fine -- but these shorts are way too small.
Now I have to figure out how to return/exchange them."

Finally an Original Pair of Nantucket Reds,
May 29, 2012
By: AJGrim
from Fulton, New York
"I have been in pursuit of a pair of these Nantucket Reds for at least two years now. Every time I have ordered them they have ben unavailable, so this year I was pleased to be able to finally score a pair.I like the fit and the feel of the shorts. The material was a bit heavier than I expected, a bit more durable which is not a problem. The fit was good. The only problem I experienced was that after a single wearing the top button came off. When I examined how it was sewn on the manufacturer could have been a bit more generous with the amount of thread used. A quick repair and I was back to sporting my Reds!"

"Very nice fit and look, great shorts all around, but I do wonder how many times they need to be washed before they are safe to mix with others. They look better with each wash."

"My husband is very conservative dresser - never thought he would wear these shorts, but he absolutely loves the look - especially when our college age sons made favorable comments. I may have to purchase these shorts for our two sons."
