The Royal shorts’ lightweight, four-way stretch fabric, front ventilation perforations and easy cut make them potentially ideal for hot weather use.
At the front, the proportions are excellent – neat through the hips but with room for movement in the legs. The back of the waist isn’t quite as high as it could be, though, and this, combined with the shape of the back of the legs, means they don’t feel as comfortably generous as they could when you reach forward – the inclusion of a stretch back yoke would transform these from good to excellent. The construction quality is already excellent, with well-finished seams and a secure hook closure – though we did have to remind ourselves of this to prevent an accidental ripping out of what we perceived to be a popper.
