Quality Analysis 80/100
These shorts are made from 100% cotton Oxford, a mid-weight fabric known for its durability, suggesting they'll hold up well to regular wear. The elasticated waistband adds comfort without compromising the garment's structure.
Comfort Assessment 70/100
These shorts offer a comfortable fit thanks to their elasticated waistband, ensuring ease of movement. However, the mid-weight, non-stretchy fabric might limit overall flexibility.
Sustainability Impact Not Available
