I had to return them for a smaller size but these are fabulous shorts.  Heavy denim.  Great for curvy figures and extremely well made.  If the new ones fit I will get an extra pair.  I have a pair of shorts from Denim and Co when they used to make great shorts that are probably 20 years old and I still wear them in the garden.  I bet these last as long.  The design is kind of a dark red but very subtle.  I love them.
