These shorts are fantastic for school uniforms!  The price is unbelievable and you get a fantastic quality!  They run a little big, but that's fine because of the adjustable waist - makes you really feel good that you can get a couple of seasons out of them!  Our school uses Lands End for their uniforms and their shorts are $30 - these shorts are almost identical and at less than half the price!  Both of my daughters each have 2 pair and they withstand their messiness!!
