Finally. A pair of shorts that are just dressed up enough to separate them from the rest of the khaki chino pack.
With a slim profile, flat front, 9″ inseam and just enough pattern, these could be as good as it gets for shorts this summer. Khaki colored shorts are almost inescapable. Almost all of us have a pair. It’s a pair of grey shorts like these that’ll stand out just enough.
The legs really are trim without being tight, they’re 100% cotton, and they’re a great match for a blue polo. The glen plaid pattern and hook and eye closure make them as formal as shorts can get without being stuffy.
Good for the golf course or the backyard. Shorts appear grey and the ultra close up at the top should give you an idea of the pattern.
Feel free to wear your slim fit long sleeve button ups with these, but just make sure you roll your sleeves up the “right” way so once they’re up they stay up.

They look great. Not sure if they would work for me. I’m 5’11” — but I have short legs and a long torso. The 9″ inseams look a little strange on me. But I’m tempted to try these…
Pair this with a striped or solid shirt? Would a madras be too much?
I really really wanted to get these last weekend but I couldn’t make them work. I ended up getting their navy Geo print which fit me much better.
I found that all the ones I tried (below the waist, flat front, straight leg) had different fits. The Glen Plaid above fit me like ultra-slim slacks – bunching on the upper thigh while I walked and too much extra fabric on the waistband at the small of my back. I probably have larger legs than average though (6′, 200 lbs, 35″ waist)
Totally agree that this is the best time to pick up some cool shorts.
Solid would work best, but a bengal stripe or something even thicker would be ok. Madras would be too busy.
I received an email from Gap this morning, Gap stores in Canada and the United States will be accepting clothing donations from May 19-29, to support Goodwill®. Every customer who donates clothing to Gap stores during this time, will receive 30% off their entire Gap purchase (including regular and sale priced items)!
According to an email I received from Gap this morning, you can get 30% off in store when you bring in clothes for Goodwill (35% with a Gap Inc. credit card). That puts these shorts at $17.50. The offer lasts through May 29.
EDIT: It looks like Wayne beat me to it.
Nice! Just saw that email too. That’s a great promotion. Well done GAP. Post updated.
Are these pretty true to size in the waist? Depending on brand/fit I waver back and forth between 30 and 31 waist.
I haven’t tried on these particular shorts, but I generally have to size down 1″ in all Gap Inc pants. I measure a 32 and wear a 32 in many brands (Levi’s, e.g.), but at Gap and BR I’m a 31.
I’m with wsgm here. I usually wear a 32, tried on a 31 for the hell of it, they fit great.
I third this as well. Whereas 32 is my usual fit, I go 31 with GAP (but not BR.)
Hi, just wanted to say you can use coupon code – NEW online to save an extra 25% off!
Nice! Updated…
is there any restriction on how much clothes you bring?
Using the ‘NEW’ code it wouldn’t allow me to select the free shipping. Anyone else having this problem?
Pretty sure free shipping only kicks in at $50.
It only works if you have $50 worth of items, but this is calculated before you use the coupon. So you can get two $25 shorts for approximately $36 shipped for free
The email did not specify any restrictions.
Doesnt look like theyre $25 anymore. Damnit!
