“Great shorts on the tighter side”

“Very nice shorts from top end manufacturer. Price implies they are well-made and that holds true. I have 5 pairs and two were purchased last summer and they have held up very well. 52 (supposedly equal to 36" waist which is what I normally wear) on those first two pairs was a bit tight so the next three were 54. These are not that much looser than the 52 and thus fit great. Isaia sizing is a bit weird probably at least in part due to Euro size conversions. All of the shorts have lasted well and look as new still. The zippered back pocket is nice for security when traveling with the wallet and the front left thigh pocket is perfect for extra golf balls. Nice waistband with Isaia logo and other features such as horn buttons, double button front closure, flap over the button on the left back pocket, etc. Material is very soft with a perfect broken-in feel right out of the box. Zippers have endured well considering in my experience some designer zippers have failed miserably on the durability front (Zegna coat for example). One caveat, be careful sitting down on leather furniture with the zippered pocket. Even though the zipper is "hidden" with fabric, if you slide around you risk a scratch-I try to sit on a blanket on any of our leather furniture when wearing these. Overall great shorts and great STP price.”
