Review: Best pocketed short in the market. - Had loads of these. Highly recommended. Good quality and fit with decent pockets. Bum wears out first and I dont st down much in my job.
Review: Brilliant shorts - The waistband is generous and would stretch a lot - however they are actually very comfy for the size I ordered. I've lost a bit of weight since buying as well, and they still fit well. The waistband is very well made and the standout part of these. The material is hardy as you'd expect with rugby shorts. They clean well and keep their colour - Although this is to be expected with Gilbert, who usually always make top-notch gear.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anyone tell me the length of the inside seam?  Also, do I need to order one size larger?  I have read comments about the size on Amazon.com**
A: The length of the seam depends on what size you get. I'm a 34" waist and got both medium and large. The medium fit quite snugly, like back in the 80s. The large fit 'normally'. The elasticated waistband is quite generous and if too generous has a drawstring as well. I'm happy with both but Gilbert are not like speedo whose sizes really are quite minimal and fit tight even if you order two sizes bigger. 34" means 34" 36", 36" and so on.

**Q: are they 100 cotton ?thank you**
A: Yes, and good durable cotton too.

**Q: What is size 6 XL in inches**
A: 45.5 - 47 inches

**Q: What size should I buy for a 4 year old?**
A: Tiny !
