The shorts I received is charcoal colored, has a classic chino diagonal pattern on the fabric, that is 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Made in Sri Lanka, it looks like a basic chino short, with length cut just above the knee, even if the materials aren't all cotton. Here are some observations:

Likes:
-- Very modern nice trimmed fit. For me, it hugs around the thighs and hip, yet without being very tight. Its not baggy, and with the relatively thick and stiff fabric, almost have a bespoke  feel about it.
-- While I am typically skeptical about synthetic materials over cotton, he polyester content seems to add a bit of sheen to the fabric. It also seems to add a bit of stiffness, that it looks like fabrics on more formal trousers. The clean cut slit back pocket and slanted side pockets also resonates to the theme.
-- Good construction and interesting details. The seams and pockets are double stitched, with serged edges throughout. The pocket openings are reinforced with plenty of stitching at the corners. Its also interesting to see the pocket linings are made alternately of different materials, with thicker grey oxford cloth for right front and rear left pocket, and a more conventional black thinner lining for left front and right rear.

Caveats:
-- The polyester will entail some care, such as tumble dry low. The thickness and density of the fabric, may also be too warm for a tropical summer.

I find this to be a well made shorts, with surprisingly good fit and looks. While always skeptical about polyester in general, I only hope it can keep the look up over time. However, as it is after a wash, it stayed in shape without much signs of wear. The good construction and attention to detail is also a plus. It gives a great casual-formal look that would be pretty versatile. The modern good fit would also look trim and neat without too wide an opening at the legs. It should be easy to wear, if it doesnt get too hot.
